CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to breed cicadas

1. How to breed cicadas

1. Environment: The best depth for "breeding" cicadas is 30 to 50 centimeters. It should be sunny and frost-proof, and the soil should be soft, fertile and pollution-free.

2. Feed: Choose healthy tree species with thriving root systems, vigorous growth, and more sap, such as poplar, elm, willow, tung, or various fruit trees in the orchard. 3. Epidemic prevention preparation: Cicadas have many natural enemies after they emerge from the ground and adults after they emerge from the wings, so they should be carefully protected during breeding.

What is the difference between cicada and cicada?

There is basically no difference between cicadas and cicadas, and people generally do not distinguish between them. The reason why cicadas are called cicadas is because their calls sound like "zhi... le, zhi... le", so this is also a common name. However, if you look closely, there are differences. Cicadas are usually larger than cicadas. After the cicadas shed their shells, their wings are basically transparent, but cicadas are different. They have spots on their wings.

What food do you eat?

Cicadas feed on the sap of tree roots. Domestic cicadas should be provided with high-quality feed, such as poplar, willow, elm or various fruit trees. They should also be intercropped with root vegetables, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams, to provide feed for cicadas and their larvae.

2. How to raise cicadas

1. Collect egg branches: When breeding cicadas, egg branches need to be collected in September every year. 2. Indoor pond culture: Place the egg branches in a basin covered with soft fine sand and spray water mist continuously to increase humidity. 3. Growth conditions: Place the nymphs in trees with well-developed lateral root systems and more sap. 4. Precautions: Build a gauze greenhouse around the park.

How to breed cicadas 1. Collect egg branches

When breeding cicadas, you need to collect egg branches in September every year. You can choose a forest with dense trees and many cicadas, and remove the branches on the trees that have been killed by cicadas laying eggs. It should be noted that the flat dry orange on one side of the trunk, with milky white oblong eggs embedded in the wood under the skin, is the cicada eggs.

2. Indoor pool culture

After the egg branches are collected, they need to be placed in an indoor sand pool for cultivation. You can prepare a plastic box with a length of 70 cm, a width of 40 cm, and a height of 20 cm, and then spread 5 to 10 cm thick fine sand on the bottom. Then place the egg branches in bundles vertically or horizontally on top, and continuously spray water mist with a sprayer.

3. Growth conditions

When breeding cicadas, you need to choose strong trees with well-developed lateral root systems, abundant juice and lush growth, such as poplar, elm, willow or fruit trees. You can plant root plants such as potatoes, sweet potatoes or yams in the gaps to make the soil more fertile, and then bury the cicada eggs near the roots of the trees, with a depth of 30-50cm.

4. Notes

When breeding cicadas, you need to pay attention to building a gauze greenhouse to provide egg-laying space for adults. You can use cement or bamboo sticks to build a fence around it, then pull iron wire in the middle and cover the outside with nylon window screen. The best season for harvesting cicadas is from mid-to-late June to early August each year.

3. How many years does it take to breed cicadas? Attached are the breeding methods

It takes about 3 years to breed cicadas, because the nymphs, or larvae, of cicadas need to live underground for 2-3 years. Breeding methods: 1. Provide nutritious forests: cultivate seedlings of broad-leaved trees and bury branches with eggs at the roots of trees in the net room. 2. Provide high-quality feed: regularly add some root plants, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams, to provide energy for the growth of cicadas. 3. Provide a livable environment: the place where cicada eggs are buried should be sunny, frost-proof, pollution-free, and have appropriate humidity.

2. Introduction to Zhiliao

(1) Cicadas are cicadas, a species of insect in the family Cicadidae. Cicadas use their front legs for digging. They will burrow out of the soil at dusk or at night, and then grasp the bark to molt. Male cicadas have sound organs on their abdomens that can continuously make sharp sounds. Female cicadas do not make sounds, but have hearing organs on their abdomens. Cicada larvae live in the soil and feed on plant roots, while adults eat plant juices. Cicadas undergo incomplete metamorphosis, molting multiple times from eggs to nymphs, and transforming directly into adults without becoming pupae.

(2) In recent years, there have been cases of catching cicadas for food in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Anhui and other places in my country. Since cicada larvae survive for a long time underground before breaking out of the ground, large-scale capture has reduced the number of cicadas. Cicadas are facing a survival crisis and may even become extinct.

2. Cicada breeding methods

1. Provide nutritious forests for cicadas. You can cultivate seedlings of broad-leaved trees, such as willows, poplars, and elms. The trunks should be planted shorter, and the trees should be covered with nylon nets. The adult cicadas are placed on the trees in the net room to lay eggs. The eggs should be well preserved, and the branches with eggs should be buried at the roots of the trees in the net room. You can also use fruit trees in abandoned orchards, set up fences around them, surround them with wire mesh, and cover the top with nylon nets.

2. Provide high-quality feed for cicadas, such as poplars, willows, elms or some fruit trees, and regularly add some root plants, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams, to provide enough energy for the cicadas at all stages of their growth.

3. Provide a comfortable and livable environment for cicadas. Cicada eggs should be buried at a depth of 30cm-50cm. The burial site should be sunny, frost-proof, with soft, fertile, pollution-free soil and appropriate humidity. In winter, the burial site should be covered with wheat straw, rice straw or corn stalks.
