CATDOLL : CATDOLL: When are there more cicadas?

1. In which month do the most cicadas come out?

Golden cicadas usually come out in May every year, and the appearance rate is relatively high in June and July. Golden cicadas are the representative species of Cicadidae insects. The larvae are called differently in different places, such as climbing monkey, old squeak turtle, old squeak monkey, grasshopper cicada, horse squeak monkey climbing, cicada turtle, cicada monkey, sister monkey, old turtle, hunchback, climbing black grasshopper cicada, Zhimu, food child, old and young dog, climbing fork, beef cattle, fairy, Dura monkey, Zhilaolaoca, Jieloupa, etc. Golden cicadas are rich in nutrients and have high medicinal value. In particular, the skin of golden cicadas is a traditional Chinese medicine, and the idiom of "golden cicada sheds its shell" also comes from it. At the same time, the adults of golden cicadas often live on treetops and branches, and use piercing and sucking mouthparts to suck the nutrient juice from the young branches of trees for a living. It is more common in summer.

2. When does the golden cicada enter its peak season?

North of the Yellow River, the peak period for cicadas to emerge is after wheat harvest and until the beginning of autumn. This is because the weather is relatively hot during this period, and there is a lot of rain, which softens the soil and makes it easier for cicadas to emerge. Most of the cicadas emerge in the evening or around midnight. Another factor is that cicadas emerge at night to prevent attacks from natural enemies.

3. Which month have the most cicadas?

Cicadas are insects that can tolerate high temperatures, so the higher the temperature, the more cicadas there are.

Generally speaking, cicadas emerge in June, but the temperature is still a bit low at this time, so the number is relatively small.

The period from the end of June to the beginning of July and August is when there are the most cicadas. The peak period is about twenty days during this period, that is, from mid-to-late July to early August, which is the most active period for cicadas.

From the second half of August to September, as the humidity decreases, the number of cicadas gradually decreases until they stop emerging from the ground.

4. In which month are there the most cicada monkeys?

Cicada monkeys usually appear in May every year. The highest appearance rate is in June and July. The best time to catch them is in early summer, and they can usually be caught from early to mid-July.

After the cicada completes the entire life cycle of the larval stage in the soil, the mature larvae drill out of the soil from late May to mid-to-late August, crawl to the branches of shrubs, stems of weeds, etc., and use the claws and thorns of the front feet to fix on the bark and branches and leaves, and molt into adults. The peak period of adult emergence is from mid-June to mid-July, and the end period is in early October. The adults mate and lay eggs 20 days after emergence, and begin to lay eggs in late June. The peak period of adult egg laying is from the end of June to late August, and the end period of egg laying is from mid-September to early October.

Because the climate in different places is different, the time of appearance is also different. However, if you hear faint cicada chirping during the day, it is almost there. If the sound is very loud, it is probably that they have all emerged and are basically gone.

5. Are cicada monkeys more common during the End of Heat or the Great Heat?

Cicada monkeys usually start to dig holes from the ground and come out of the ground around the beginning of the dog days. They are most numerous during the Great Heat and much less numerous during the End of Heat when the weather turns cooler. Every day from 8 pm to 11 pm, they dig holes from the ground and find tall plants, such as trees and crops, and climb up the stems of the plants. They wait for about two hours to hatch. After hatching, they have to wait for their wings to stretch and dry. They climb up trees before dawn, lay eggs and reproduce on the trees, and live for about 7 days before falling from the trees due to illness and dying.

As the saying goes, cicada monkeys stay underground for 8 years. After coming out of the ground and breaking out of their shells, they become cicadas. They only live for about a week and die after completing reproduction. It's a pity.

6. In what weather conditions do cicada monkeys appear most frequently?

After the Rain

Cicada monkeys usually come out at around 8 o'clock in the summer. If you want to catch them, you can come out during this time. They will be on the branches of trees and are easy to catch. Specifically, they start in early to mid-July and can last for about a month. They usually appear around 7 o'clock when it starts to get dark, and they will last until around 11 o'clock in the evening. Those who come out late may have to wait until around 12 o'clock. In addition, they are usually more common after rain.

7. During which solar term are cicadas most abundant?

The three Gengs enter the dog days after the summer solstice, which is about ten days after the summer solstice. This is also directly related to the different regions. The time when cicadas emerge in the south is obviously earlier than that in the north.

As the larvae of the cicada, the cicada monkey has to grow underground for three or four years before breaking out of the ground. When night falls, it slowly begins to crawl out of the underground hole.

The cicada monkey meat rolls are quite clumsy, crawling very slowly, and the cicada monkey has many natural enemies. So they will choose to crawl out of the ground at night. After the beginning of the dog days every year, the weather is hot and it becomes normal to go out at night. Going out in this boring season and looking for cicada monkeys naturally becomes a summer pleasure. Not only can you exercise your body, but the cicada monkeys are also fresh and delicious, and the salty and fragrant taste is tempting. What is the purpose of looking for cicada monkeys? That is to exercise your body and have delicious food.
