CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What kind of forest is suitable for breeding golden cicadas? (What kind of forest is suitable for breeding golden cicadas?)

1. Can cicadas be cultivated on papaya trees?

In fact, the requirements of cicadas for trees are not very high. Except for trees such as pine and cypress, most other trees can be cultivated. Some trees of the Salicaceae and Ulmus family are more suitable, and the effect is better. Some fruit trees can also be used to cultivate cicadas. As long as the trees have abundant root juice, they can be cultivated. The more suitable ones are elm, willow, paulownia, and poplar. These are all good trees for raising cicadas, especially elm, which is even more suitable for cultivation. It's just that elm trees are prone to insects and grow too slowly, most people don't like to plant elm trees now. The elm trees that were common in rural areas in the past are now becoming fewer and fewer.

2. Can cicadas be raised under pine trees?

Can't.

To raise cicada monkeys, use poplar, elm, willow, tung trees or various fruit trees in the orchard.

Cicadas generally choose healthy tree species with well-developed root systems, lush growth, and more sap for breeding, which is the key link to improve the efficiency and yield of cicada breeding. For example, poplar, elm, willow, tung or various fruit trees in the orchard are all tree species that cicadas like to eat. In addition, dwarf shrubs such as honeysuckle and waxwood are also crops that cicadas like to eat.

You cannot breed cicadas under pine trees or bitter orange trees. Because the roots of pine trees have a special pine scent, cicadas do not like to eat bitter orange trees. Cicada larvae also do not like to eat the bitter sap.

Before the cicadas mature, you can wrap a smooth plastic film around the tree trunk 30 cm above the ground to prevent the cicadas from crawling up the tree, making them easier to harvest. You can also use a flashlight to catch them on the ground and trunks under the tree at night. Or you can catch the young adult cicadas on the tree in the early morning.

3. What trees are used to breed cicada monkeys?

The most suitable tree species for breeding cicada monkeys is willow, followed by poplar, because these two trees grow very fast and have a higher survival rate after planting.

Willow is drought-resistant and waterlogged-resistant, with many branches and a well-developed root system, making it a very suitable tree species for breeding cicada monkeys. Cicada monkeys bred on willow trees are of relatively uniform size and firm texture, making them very popular in the market.

4. Can eucalyptus trees be used to raise cicada monkeys?

You can raise it.

Fast-growing forests such as bamboo willow and eucalyptus are very effective in raising cicadas. Bamboo willow is especially effective in raising cicadas among the currently known tree species. This is because bamboo willow not only grows fast, has many roots, is tender and juicy, has a small crown suitable for dense planting, but also has a regeneration characteristic of the trunk, which is suitable for cutting the trunk and growing new branches. It can change the forest with high density into a forest with low density, increase the temperature of the forest, and is conducive to the rapid growth of cicadas.

5. Is the cicada suitable for growing on plane trees?

Suitable

The plane trees are suitable for raising cicadas. The tree species suitable for raising cicadas include poplar, willow, elm, plane tree, paulownia, etc. Usually, poplar is the most commonly used. However, no matter which tree it is, you must choose healthy tree species with developed root system, lush growth and more juice for planting. Beans, sweet potatoes, yams, etc. The depth of grasshoppers should be 30~50cm. It should be sunny and frost-proof. The soil should be soft, fertile and pollution-free; it should not be too dry, nor should it have too high water content or water accumulation. To ensure the normal growth and development of the host plant root system, the young and tender plants should be developed and juicy, and the breeding area should be covered with wheat straw, rice straw, corn stalks, etc. in winter to maintain the ground temperature.

6. What kind of tree can be used to raise cicada monkeys?

There are many healthy tree species with vigorous growth and more sap, such as pear trees, apple trees, walnut trees, elm trees, willow trees, ash trees, mulberry trees, orange trees, grapefruit trees, sycamore trees, poplar trees, etc. The food of cicada monkeys is the sap of parasitic trees, such as young branches and the sap of tree roots. The tree species suitable for breeding cicada monkeys are willow trees, followed by poplar trees. These two trees grow very fast and have a relatively high survival rate after planting.

1. Under which trees are cicada monkeys more common?

1. Cicada monkeys usually live on healthy trees that grow vigorously and have more juice, such as pear trees, apple trees, walnut trees, elm trees, willow trees, ash trees, mulberry trees, orange trees, grapefruit trees, sycamore trees, poplar trees, etc. These trees are the favorites of cicada monkeys. Cicada monkeys usually start laying eggs in July and August every year. They will lay eggs in young branches. After the branches wither and fall to the ground, the eggs will hibernate in the soil until the temperature is suitable in May of the following year. The hatching will end at the end of June. In summer, the adults will gradually begin to drill out of the ground, and start a new cycle of emergence, laying eggs, etc.

7. Where can cicada monkeys be raised?

There are relatively many plant species suitable for breeding cicadas, especially poplars, locust trees and other artificial forest trees that are more concentrated in the north. They can be used to breed cicadas, and are also the main tree species for breeding cicadas. Of course, there are also lindens, willows, elms, etc. If the bark has a high water content, it is better, because the bark of trees with a high water content has more water in the root system and better vitality.

In the north, the main breeding ground for cicadas is trees, while in most parts of the south, bamboo forests are a better choice because bamboo forests have more developed root systems than trees. Although they are not as thick as tree roots, they are more numerous, and bamboo is very common in the south and easier to grow. Of course, a large number of shrubs in the forest can also be used to breed cicadas, including some crops with water-rich root systems.
