1. When do cicadas lay eggs and when do they harvest? Are there any requirements for temperature and humidity?

Artificial breeding of cicadas must also follow the laws of nature. Wild cicada eggs hatch around June each year and then go to the ground, so artificial breeding is also best in June. After the cicadas go to the ground, they are greatly affected by the thickness and growth rate of the parasitic root system. Generally, most of them come out after 3 years, but some come out after 2 years, and some come out after 4 years. They are unearthed in July and August each year. It is unscientific to unearth them after 18 months. 18 months is considered unearthed in winter. Unless you raise them in Dapeng, the cost is huge and it is impossible. There are no requirements for temperature and humidity during the hatching and breeding period. As long as there are wild cicadas unearthed in the local area, you can breed cicadas.

2. What is the whole process of growing cicadas?

The general process is to prepare cicada eggs in autumn and winter, and to hatch and breed cicadas during the Spring Festival. The eggs can be hatched from March to July every year.

When planting, dig a trench about 1 meter away from the roots of the trees. The trench should be 30-50 cm deep and 20 cm wide.

After half a year, the overwintering eggs begin to hatch in mid-May of the following year. The peak hatching period is from late May to early June, and the hatching activity ends in late June. Under natural conditions, the lovely cicadas generally complete the growth of one generation in 3-5 years.

3. Do cicadas need to lay eggs every year?

Yes, cicadas usually choose to lay eggs on dead branches. When the eggs on these branches fall to the ground, they have a chance to enter the soil and hatch into cicada larvae in the soil. The larvae will grow up after several years, and only when they reach a certain age will they drill out of the ground and shed their shells to become cicadas. Therefore, when breeding cicadas, you must remove the branches and bury the eggs in the soil every year. Only in this way can you harvest cicadas continuously.

4. How to breed cicada frogs?

1. It is best to raise a large golden toad, as it has a high survival rate. However, it is better to raise a small one at the beginning, so as not to regret if it dies.

Put water in the fish tank. The water should cover the frog, but not too much. It is best to put some pebbles on the bottom, buy some water plants and put them in, and feed mealworms (available in flower and bird markets). Be sure to change the water frequently!

They live in water almost all their lives. They don’t have very high requirements for water quality (tap water is fine). They can live healthily at 15-30 degrees. They usually eat anything they can put into their mouths, such as small fish, mealworms, bloodworms, etc.

It is not suitable to be kept together with other things, as it will bite the fish.

2. You can’t get sun exposure, or you’ll die…

3. It can grow up. I started raising my golden toad when it was about 2.5 cm long. It is about 10 months old and now it is about 12 cm long. It does not require high temperature. It is not afraid of cold, but it cannot be overheated. It is suitable to put round stones at the bottom of the tank. It does not hibernate. It eats a variety of food. And it is very fierce. If it is not fed for about a week, it can swallow a fish of the same length as itself! I saw with my own eyes that a golden toad of about 4 cm swallowed a large phoenix tail!

5. How to breed cicadas in winter?

Plant it in autumn and winter, bury it about 1 meter underground, and it will grow up in half a year.

1. The general process is to breed cicada eggs in autumn and winter, and to hatch and breed cicadas during the Spring Festival. The eggs can be hatched from March to July every year.

2. When planting, dig a trench about 1 meter away from the roots of the trees. The trench should be 30-50 cm deep and 20 cm wide.

3. Half a year, the overwintering eggs begin to hatch in mid-May of the following year, the peak hatching period is from late May to early June, and the hatching activity ends in late June. Under natural conditions, golden cicadas generally complete the growth of one generation in 3-5 years.

6. How often do artificial cicadas reproduce?

Cicadas reproduce by mating. Every year from June to July, they transform from pupae into adults and then lay eggs in just a few days. The process from eggs to nymphs living underground, until the last molting to become adults, singing loudly in the trees, usually takes one to two years.

Golden cicadas usually reproduce from the end of June to the end of August every year, and they usually reproduce only once in their lifetime. Golden cicadas are a representative species of insects in the animal kingdom, arthropoda, class insecta, order Homoptera, and family Cicadidae. They have the biological characteristics of gradual metamorphosis, and they go through three stages in their life: egg, nymph, and adult.
