CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How many years does it take for golden cicadas to emerge from the ground? (How many years is best for golden cicadas to emerge from the ground?)

1. How many seasons are there in a year for the Cicada Monkey Shed?

once.

Advantages: easy to collect and manage.

Disadvantages: The growth cycle is long, and you need to purchase and install a greenhouse. There will be no harvest in the first two years, but there will be harvest after that. The breeding cost is relatively high, which is the main reason why there is less breeding now.

In nature, cicadas basically emerge every 3-5 years, but artificially bred cicadas have a shorter growth cycle. If the growth conditions are good, a small number of them will emerge every two years, but most of them will emerge in three years. It usually takes 2-3 years to breed golden cicadas in a greenhouse. At the beginning, the cycle will be long and investment costs will be required, but later you can harvest every year.

2. When will the cicada seedlings come out after planting?

It usually takes about 2-3 years for cicadas to emerge from the ground. If you want to shorten the breeding cycle, you can increase the density of trees appropriately or carry out constant temperature breeding.

When the cicada completes the entire development process of the larval stage, the mature larvae will generally drill out of the ground from late May to mid-to-late August, and crawl to the branches of shrubs, stems of weeds, etc., and then use their claws and thorns on their front feet to fix themselves on the bark, branches and leaves, and finally shed their skin and emerge as adults.

The peak period for the appearance of adults is generally from mid-June to mid-July. After the adults emerge from their pupae, they will mate and lay eggs about 20 days later. Egg-laying usually begins in late June, with the peak period from late June to late August. The end of egg-laying is from mid-September to early October, or the egg-laying ends in early October.

3. When does the golden cicada emerge?

Golden cicadas emerge from the soil in Shandong from mid-June to early August, with the peak period of emergence being 15-20 days. We now artificially breed golden cicadas in the wild, under trees in a natural state. Golden cicadas need to grow underground for three winters and summers (three years for golden cicadas) from the egg stage to hatching into cicada ants (1 month) and then growing and developing into mature nymphs (golden cicadas). The first year starts to grow in June, and the weight of the year is only about 1 gram, and the whole body and eyes are milky white; the weight develops to about 3 grams in the second year, the whole body pigment deepens, and the eyes are pink; the nymphs (golden cicadas) mature in the third year, weighing 4.5-5 grams, with an average of 210 per kilogram, at which time the body color is brown and the eyes are dark gray.

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 growth cycle and temperature of the cicada?

The growth period of the cicada is three months, and the temperature is 50 degrees.

The main factors for the incubation of cicada eggs are air humidity and temperature. Although we can control the incubation temperature of cicada eggs through the greenhouse effect, we must plant them within a specific period of time. Because the young cicadas (cicada ants) that have just hatched from the cicada eggs are extremely weak and can easily die.
