CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to keep golden cicada alive (How to keep golden cicada alive video)

1. What is the best way to raise cicadas?

1. Selecting and breeding trees

The growth of cicadas is inseparable from trees, so it is necessary to select dwarfing breeding trees, prune high branches in time, plant fruit tree seedlings between trees, and increase the branches for cicadas to lay eggs.

2. Construction of breeding greenhouse

When the cicada is about to emerge from the ground, a breeding greenhouse is built on a plot of land with convenient irrigation and drainage. Cement pillars or bamboo sticks are used to build a fence around the breeding area. Bamboo poles are used to build a frame in the middle and then iron wire is used to secure it. Nylon window screen is covered on the outside.

2. How to plant and manage cicadas?

1. Hatching: The cicada eggs collected from the wild or farms should be hatched in the city. The hatching temperature of cicada eggs is 30~35, so it is necessary to build a special hatching and insulation room (when the temperature is high in June, the insulation room is not needed). Cover the hatching box with a 5~10 cm thick layer of fine sand, and use a spraying equipment to continuously spray water mist around the branches to keep the surrounding air in a high humidity state.

2. Loosen the soil in the orchard. Use a rotary tiller to deep plow the land under the orchard or woods, then wet it with water. After the soil absorbs the water, the ground will become dry and cracked, making it easier for the cicada larvae to crawl into the underground through the cracks and live.

3. After the cicada eggs hatch, you can put branches and fine sand into the breeding place, allowing the cicada larvae to crawl into the ground through the cracks and grow.

4. Open drainage ditches. After the cicada larvae enter the ground, if it is in a relatively humid environment, they are likely to die, so it is necessary to open drainage ditches to drain rainwater in time. In addition, if the site is too dry, it should also be kept wet to prevent the death of the cicada.

5. Build an anti-escape net. You can use bamboo sticks and nylon screen cloth to build a simple sky net to prevent the cicadas from escaping after metamorphosis.

6. Insulation. In winter, a layer of straw should be covered on the land where cicadas are raised. This can not only keep the land warm but also keep it moist, which is conducive to the safe overwintering of cicadas.

3. What are the techniques and methods for breeding cicadas?

Cicada breeding method:

1. Golden cicadas are mainly raised under forests. Poplars, willows, elms and various fruit trees can meet their growth needs. Pay attention to trimming high branches to facilitate reproduction.

2. A greenhouse should be built before the cicada emerges from the ground. For breeding, a plot with high and dry terrain and convenient irrigation and drainage should be selected. It is forbidden to build a breeding greenhouse in a low-lying plot that is prone to water accumulation.

3. Cicada eggs are mainly made of white wax strips, and cicada egg larvae feed on the juice of plant roots. It is best to choose an area with many roots.

4. What is the most effective way to raise cicadas?

1. Breeding base

Cicadas are mainly bred under forests. Their growth needs can be met under various fruit trees and timber trees. Generally, fruit trees over three years old and other trees can be used as breeding places for cicadas. This type of wood contains more juice and is very suitable.

2. Collecting eggs

After collecting the branches with cicada eggs, remove the dry leaves, cut off the two ends, and bundle thirty branches into a bundle. Spread a layer of sand on the bottom of a large washing basin, and put the bundled branches upright in the basin. Keep the temperature at 28-34 degrees Celsius and the humidity at 60%. Spray it when it is dry. Use a sprayer to spray the branches until they are thoroughly wet.

3. Incubate

The larvae will hatch in about fifteen days. During the hatching period, the eggs of the cicada should be checked continuously. If a small number of cicada larvae are found active, the branches and fine sand can be placed in the breeding place and buried with soil.

4. Breeding environment

In the process of breeding cicadas, it is necessary to maintain suitable temperature and humidity, especially in the hot summer season. Ventilation and moisture retention are required to prevent the cicada's shell from drying out and cracking. In winter, incense should be burned in the garden to prevent the cicada from suffering from frost damage.

5. What are the methods for breeding cicadas and what precautions should be taken?

When breeding cicadas, you can first build a gauze greenhouse to provide them with enough space for laying eggs or collect cicada eggs naturally. Of course, we can also adapt to local conditions, such as using fruit trees in abandoned orchards or directly replanting some fruit tree seedlings. Then build a large frame fence around it, mostly using bamboo sticks or concrete columns. Remember to pull some iron wire in the middle; then cover the outside with nylon window screen. Most of us will choose the best time to harvest cicada eggs in greenhouse breeding in mid- or late September.

When we choose trees for breeding cicadas, we mainly choose dwarfed fruit trees. For example, apple trees, apricot trees, peach trees, etc. There are also others, such as: shrub species seedlings are also suitable for their breeding space and environment. Of course, in order to allow cicadas to lay eggs better, we must trim the high branches of the fruit trees in time, so that it is more convenient for us to manage them. If we use the gaps between trees to plant fruit tree seedlings, this can increase the number of branches and eggs for them to lay eggs. Because most of them choose to lay eggs under the branches, we can use the new technology of breeding cicadas as a reference.

Most cicadas are very afraid of light after they emerge from the soil and become adults. So we can wait until they emerge from the molts before entering the greenhouse. Because when we catch them, they may fly around because of the strong light and visual stimulation, which may cause them to die in large numbers. So before catching them, we can wait for a week for all the cicadas that are about to emerge from the soil to let them naturally molt and lay eggs. However, the density of our seed is about 1,000 cicadas per acre, with half males and half females, because each female cicada can lay about 600 to 1,500 eggs, so each greenhouse can use about 20 acres of land for them to breed and lay eggs.

It is worth noting that when the cicadas are mating and laying eggs, we should try not to make loud noises near the greenhouse, so as to provide a better environment for the cicadas to ensure the quality and quantity of their eggs. We should avoid their bad influence. If they all emerge from the soil and become adults, they will grow wings, and the natural enemies of the cicadas will appear. For example, sparrows, mantises, toads, etc. Therefore, as farmers, we should frequently check whether there are any broken places in the gauze net, which can not only better prevent the cicadas from flying out of the greenhouse, but also reduce the damage to them by other animals.

In fact, the golden cicada is also called Zhiliao. It not only has delicious meat, but also has great medicinal functions when it falls off its shell. On the table, it is called "Tang Monk Meat". Just by hearing the name, you can know that its taste and nutritional value are very high and special, so breeding cicadas has become one of the most popular breeding projects in recent years.

6. How to breed cicadas?

The number of cicadas in nature has also been greatly reduced. In order to meet market demand, cicadas are now artificially bred.

Prepare cicadas. To grow cicadas, you must have cicadas. Choose healthy cicadas and select the quantity according to your needs.

Density management. After a certain period of time, cicadas will lay eggs, so they need to be density-managed. There should be 500 females and 500 males per acre. When the cicada grows into a pupa, it will be invaded by grass, and then mycelium will grow in its body.

Light. The cicada flower likes an environment with sufficient direct sunlight, and at the same time, a high humidity must be maintained. Wait until the cicada becomes a pupa and the grass invades.

Nutrients. In the beginning of its growth, the cicada flower absorbs nutrients from the cicada until all of them are absorbed. In spring, the cicada flower will break through the soil, and then it will rely on external nutrients. Appropriate fertilizers should be applied to ensure that the cicada flower blooms normally.

Prevent diseases and insect pests. After the cicada flowers emerge from the ground, they are likely to attract ants and small red flower ants. At this time, you should use appropriate pesticides to spray and kill them in time.
