1. What qualities does the Golden Cicada have?

Golden cicada is a representative species of Cicadidae insects. The larvae are called differently in different places, such as old turtle, hunchback, black grasshopper cicada, thumb-wielding turtle, cicada monkey, child-eating, old and young dog, climbing fork, and beef cattle. Golden cicada has rich nutritional ingredients and high medicinal value. In particular, the skin of golden cicada is a traditional Chinese medicine, and the idiom "golden cicada sheds its shell" also comes from it. Although the living territory of cicadas is getting smaller and smaller, the number of golden cicadas in nature has not decreased significantly; now in order to meet market demand, some people have used artificial breeding methods to obtain it. In recent years, the phenomenon of catching golden cicadas for catering in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Anhui and other places in my country has been very serious. Since the larvae of golden cicadas can survive underground for about 5-12 years before breaking out of the ground, such crazy catching has caused the number of golden cicadas to drop sharply. In some areas, the sound of cicadas can no longer be heard in summer. Golden cicadas are facing a survival crisis and may even become extinct!

2. Is it good to eat too much golden cicada? Urgent!

Eating too much can cause poisoning. Twelve people in my hometown were hospitalized after eating too much.

3. Is eating cicada beneficial?

Well, but don’t take it carelessly! Medicine is poisonous, even tonic medicine

4. Can cicadas be eaten?

Take 30 cicadas, preferably freshly caught, wash them, add sherry, salt and other seasonings and cook them. At the same time, crush about 10 cloves of garlic and mash them together with the sauce to use as a dipping sauce. When eating, you can also make the dipping sauce into a small mound shape, cover it with lettuce and celery, etc., and then put the cooked cicadas in it. It feels like the cicada is crawling out of the soil. When hearing about eating cicadas, some people may find it difficult to swallow and unimaginable. Yadan said that in fact, as long as people regard cicadas as an ordinary shellfish, there will be no psychological effect. "You must have eaten seafood such as crabs and lobsters. They all belong to the phylum arthropoda, and insects such as cicadas are also one of this large category."

It is edible, but you need to be careful about how you cook it.
