1. How long does it take for earthworms to lay eggs?

The female insect's egg-laying period is from early May to mid-November, with June to September being the peak period. The eggs begin to hatch in late June or early to mid-July. All eggs laid before mid-August can hatch in mid-November of the same year, while eggs laid from late August to before wintering will not hatch until late June or early July of the following year.

The female insect lays eggs about 7 days after mating, and then every 4 to 6 days. A female insect can lay 30 to 40 egg cases in its lifetime.

The egg-laying period is within three months. The earthworms in my home have already laid eggs one after another, and it is almost the harvest season!

2. Will earthworms die after laying eggs?

Yuan will not die after spawning

Ground beetle (ground beetle) is also known as ground beetle, earth beetle, crossing the street, ground turtle, segmented insect, stink bug, earthworm. It is an insect with a flat body, brown-black, males have wings, and females do not. It often moves in the soil at the base of residential walls. It can be used as medicine. It is also called stinging insect (zhèchóng), commonly known as ground beetle. The dried body of the female insect of Eupolyphagasinensis Walker or Steleophaga plancyi of the family Steleophaga. After catching, put it in boiling water to kill it, dry it in the sun or bake it.

The earthworm is an important medicinal insect. It lives in dark, moist, humus-rich loose soil. It is afraid of sunlight, hides during the day and moves at night. The optimum growth temperature is 28-30℃. Temperatures below 0℃ or above 38℃ will cause a large number of deaths of adults and larvae. When the temperature drops to 8℃, it stops moving and enters a dormant period. The earthworm needs to go through three stages: egg, larva and adult to complete a generation. It takes about 8 months for male insects to grow wings from larvae, while female insects are wingless and mature in about 9 to 11 months. Male insects die 5 to 7 days after mating. Female insects can lay eggs one week after mating, and they will lay eggs for the rest of their lives after mating. The artificially bred earthworms are mainly Chinese earthworms (Bupo1yphagasinensisWalker), which are distributed all over the country. The earthworm is an incomplete metamorphosis insect. It takes about half to two and a half years to complete a generation through three stages: egg, nymph and adult. In southern China, when the temperature rises above 10 degrees in early and mid-April each year, the insects begin to emerge from the ground and move until mid-to-late November, when the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius. They gradually retreat to the surface and stop moving to hibernate. Except for male adults, all other insect stages can hibernate. The egg-laying period of female insects is from early May to mid-November, with June to September as the peak period of egg-laying, and hatching begins in late June and early to mid-July. All eggs laid before mid-August can hatch in mid-November of the same year, while eggs laid from late August to before hibernation will not begin to hatch until late June or early July of the following year. The growth and development period of male nymphs is about 280 to 320 days, and that of female nymphs is about 500 days. The growth, development, egg-laying and reproduction speed of the earthworm are closely related to temperature, humidity, food, etc. The suitable temperature for its activities is between 15 and 35 degrees Celsius, and the most suitable temperature is 25 to 35 degrees Celsius. If it is lower than 0 degrees Celsius or higher than 38 degrees Celsius, it will cause a large number of deaths of adults and nymphs. The suitable relative humidity is 50-80%. Female insects can lay eggs one after another after mating. Although they can lay eggs without mating, they cannot hatch. Female insects lay eggs about 7 days after mating, and then lay eggs every 4-6 days. A female insect can lay 30-40 egg sheaths in its lifetime. When the temperature is 26℃, the eggs need to hatch for two months, and when the temperature is 30-35℃, they can hatch in about one month. The newly hatched nymphs are white and look like bedbugs. They shed their skin for the first time after 8-12 days. When molting, they do not eat or move, and appear to be in a state of suspended animation. After 1-2 days, they resume activities. After that, they shed their skin every 25 days or so. Generally, male insects shed their skin 7-9 times in their lifetime, and female insects shed their skin 9-11 times in their lifetime, and grow into strong adults.

3. How many eggs can be hatched from one earthworm egg?

Each female can lay 5 to 8 eggs per year, and each egg can hatch 8 to 12 small earthworms, with a hatching survival rate of about 60 to 90%.

4. Can I feed Chinese cabbage to earthworms during their egg-laying period?

You can feed it, no problem

Special breeding includes earthworms, and the input-return ratio is very impressive. However, the breeding technology is not yet mature, and the risk is quite large. After solving the technical problems, there is another situation that daunts everyone. That is sales. Without sales, everything is in vain. So I advise you that if you want to develop in the long run, finding your own foothold is the key. Gain a foothold first, then develop. Finding your own sales channel is the most critical.
