CATDOLL : CATDOLL: When is the peak season for cicadas?

1. When is the peak period for golden cicadas to emerge from the ground?

Since the growth cycle of the cicada is 3 years, and the peak period of emergence is only one month each year, the peak period of emergence is 3 years, which is equivalent to growing for three summers.

2. How much does the Shandong cicada monkey eat in a year?

Shandong people are famous for their love of eating cicada monkeys. They are probably the most famous in the country! It is said that this year, 9.5 million cicada monkeys were eaten in Shandong every month!!!

In addition to crayfish, cicada monkeys are also popular in summer. They are delicious no matter how they are cooked, fried, or deep-fried! It is said that they are now also available at barbecue stalls. You can search the Internet for the recipe of cicada monkeys. I will tell you that the most authentic one is made by Shandong people!

Cicada monkeys are more expensive to buy in the summer. The peak season is only about 20 days a year, so the price of cicada monkeys doubles as the temperature rises every year!

3. Which month have the most cicadas?

There are the most cicadas in July and August. In the south, the weather is hottest in July and August, and the cicadas begin to appear more in the trees. The hotter the weather, the louder the cicadas chirp.

4. How long after the Great Heat does it take for cicadas to peak in appearance?

Between June and August, cicadas emerge from the soil, with the peak period lasting about 20 days in July. After the cicadas shed their skin and become cicadas, they will start laying eggs. The peak period of egg-laying is a little later than the peak period of the cicadas emerging from the soil, which is about mid-July to mid-August. As time goes by, in September and October, the egg-laying trend shows a downward trend until it ends. After that, the weather becomes colder and is not suitable for its growth, and basically all of them wither and die.

5. When does the golden cicada reach 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.

6. Are cicada monkeys more common in the first or middle dog days?

There are more cicadas in the middle of the dog days than in the beginning of the dog days. The reason is that there is more rain in the middle of the dog days, and the soil under the trees becomes soft, which is conducive to the emergence of calyx. Cicadas are called calyx before they shed their skin. Cicadas are slow-moving. They can stay in the soil for several years, and some even shed their skin for more than ten years. When I was a child, I would go to catch calyx every evening because this is the peak season for them to emerge from the soil and climb up the trees. Sometimes I could catch dozens of them. If I didn't catch them in time, I would miss them when they climbed higher. The shell of cicadas is called cicada shell, which is a traditional Chinese medicine. Cicadas that have not shed their shells are a delicacy. Once fried in a pan, they are fresh, crispy, tender, nutritious, and delicious.
