CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How long does it take to harvest golden cicadas? (How long does it take to harvest golden cicadas?)

1. How many years does it take for cicada monkey seedlings to bear fruit?

1. The breeding cycle of cicada monkeys is about 3-4 years.

2. It takes about 2 years for the eggs to develop into mature nymphs (cicada monkeys). After the eggs overwinter, they begin to hatch and grow in June of the first year. They weigh only about 1g that year and are milky white overall. In the second year, the weight increases to about 3g, the pigmentation of the whole body deepens, and the eyes are pink. In the third year, the nymphs are mature, weighing 4.5-5g, with brown body color and dark gray eyes. Later, the nymphs drill out of the ground, climb up weeds and trees, and eventually stay on branches and trees, molting and emerging into adults, and begin to lay eggs 20 days after emergence.

2. How long does it take for cicada seedlings to mature?

It usually takes 3 to 5 years for the cicada to complete one generation. The cicada overwinters in the form of eggs on young branches of the current or biennial year and nymphs of various ages on plant roots in the soil. There are two types of overwintering insects: eggs and nymphs of different sizes. The overwintering sites are also divided into two environments: aboveground and underground. The overwintering eggs begin to hatch in mid-May of the following year, with the peak hatching period from late May to early June, and the hatching activity ends in late June. The egg period is nearly 300 days.

3. How many years does it take to harvest cicadas?

It takes three years from cicada egg laying to harvesting cicada pupae.

What are the benefits of Jinchan

1. The golden cicada, also known as the grasshopper cicada, and its nymph is also called the cicada turtle. It has extremely high nutritional value for medicinal food and a unique taste. The newly unearthed nymphs contain the highest protein, up to 58.58%-70.2%, which are four times that of beef and six times that of eggs, respectively. In other words, the nutritional value of one golden cicada is equal to that of 6 eggs.

2. In addition to its edible value, cicada also has extremely high medicinal value. According to the "Chinese Materia Medica", cicada has the effects of strengthening the essence and strengthening yang, quenching thirst and promoting the production of body fluid, protecting the lungs and benefiting the kidneys. Cicada peel is rich in chitin and is often used to treat exogenous wind-heat and other symptoms. It is a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine in my country. From this perspective, the medicinal value of a cicada is greater than that of 6 eggs. With the development of society and the improvement of people's lives, people's eating habits no longer require just eating well, but eating nutritiously and healthily, and people's awareness of self-care is constantly increasing.

3. The current trend of diet is food therapy plus nourishment, and the concept of "medicine and food have the same origin" is increasingly recognized by people. And Jinchan food is the ideal food that can be used as both medicine and food. Because of this, the market demand is increasing.

4. They are distributed in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Anhui and other places in my country. There is a custom of eating cicadas and their nymphs in many areas of my country, especially in Henan, Hubei, Shanghai, Beijing, Shandong, Guangdong and other places. The most common ways of eating them are "fried cicadas", "crispy cicadas", "pepper and salt cicadas", etc. Cicada nymphs (cicada turtles) have extremely high nutritional value and unique taste, and are the best among edible insects. At present, they have become famous dishes suitable for various occasions. The protein content of newly unearthed nymphs is as high as 58.58%-70.2%.

Because of its high nutritional value, eating this is good for your body, but it is not easy to eat too much.

4. When should cicadas be harvested when planted?

During the natural growth process of the cicada, it grows underground and generally takes three to five years before emerging from the ground. Of course, there are also special circumstances where it can grow underground for seven to eight years or even more than ten years. These are extreme cases.

However, when cicadas are artificially bred, the incubation period is shortened, allowing them to emerge from the ground half a year to a year and a half earlier. Therefore, the cicadas that are artificially planted that year can be harvested in advance. This refers to the time counted from the hatching of the eggs. If it is counted only from the time when the cicada nymphs enter the soil, it is no different from those grown naturally, and the time is the same.

5. What is the harvest time for cicada monkey breeding in Henan?

Cicadas are usually harvested after about three years of breeding. Some of them can come out in two years, some in four years, and most in the third year. The specific differences are caused by the different thickness of the tree roots that the cicada ants parasitize after entering the soil and the different temperatures of the forest. Grasshopper cicadas are also called cicadas, and their cicada shells and male cicadas can be used as medicine. The newly unearthed old larvae are rich in nutrition, with a protein content of 58-58% and a fat content of 10-32%. Cicadas are now on the table as health foods, and the market demand is increasing, and the price is getting higher and higher.
