CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What are the advantages and disadvantages of raising grasshoppers? (Video on What are the advantages and disadvantages of raising grasshoppers?)

1. Is it okay to raise grasshoppers in the fields in front of my hometown?

If you want to raise grasshoppers, it is not important to raise them where you want to raise them. The key is to do a good job of protection. Grasshoppers are extremely harmful pests. The lessons learned from the locusts in the past are extremely profound. If you want to raise grasshoppers at the door of your house, you must increase protection to prevent them from escaping. Repair the breeding pond, preferably reinforced concrete. Set up a protective net, and the entrance and exit should be double-doored to prevent grasshoppers from escaping. The soil on the ground should be soft to facilitate egg laying. If you don't want to raise them one day, you must disinfect them to prevent them from harming other people's crops.

2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of eating grasshoppers?

1. Supplement protein: Grasshoppers are rich in protein and have a relatively high nutritional value. They can supplement the nutrients needed by the body and also improve the body's resistance and immunity.

2. Enhance memory: Grasshoppers can enhance memory, mainly because they are rich in lecithin, which can supplement the nutrients needed by brain cells, promote the development of brain cells and repair cells, thus enhancing memory.

3. What are the living environment and characteristics of grasshoppers?

Grasshopper is the common name for locusts. They have hard mouthparts, narrow and tough front wings, wide and soft hind wings, are good at flying, and have well-developed hind limbs and are good at jumping. They are mainly harmful to plants of the Gramineae family and are pests. Grasshoppers are good at maintaining their gregariousness and often live in groups. Female grasshoppers generally choose hard soil with considerable humidity and direct sunlight to lay eggs. They often lay eggs in large numbers. They need a higher body temperature to promote and adapt to the active physiological functions.

Locusts have a hard exoskeleton on their bodies, which is mainly used to protect and support the soft organs inside and prevent the evaporation of water in the body. This is one of the characteristics of adapting to life on land. The exoskeleton cannot grow with the growth of the locust's body, so the locust has to go through multiple molting during its growth and development.

The individual development of locusts goes through three stages: egg, nymph and adult. During this period, the wings of nymphs are not fully grown before the third instar, and their activity range is small and dense. After the third instar, the wing buds are obvious, and after the fifth instar, they become flying adults. Therefore, locust control should focus on eliminating the nymphs before the third instar.

4. Can grasshoppers eat leeks?

Yes, you can raise a few grasshoppers. They eat grass, crops, and drink dew. They are very harmful, but you can raise some at home and feed them grass. Grasshoppers have chewing mouthparts and are herbivorous insects. Their antennae are short whip-shaped, and they have strong hind legs that can use bouncing to avoid natural enemies. The body color is green and brown, which is the protective color of the living environment. Locusts have large mouths and well-developed jaws. They feed on plant leaves. Locusts like to eat reeds, barnyard grass, white grass, dogtooth grass and wormwood, shrimp grass and sea salicornia. There are more than 12,000 species in the world. They are distributed in tropical and temperate grasslands and desert areas throughout the world. There is still a certain difference between them and locusts. Grasshoppers, the common name for locusts, are insects of many types. They have hard mouthparts, narrow and tough forewings, broad and soft hind wings, are good at flying, have well-developed hind limbs, and are good at jumping. They mainly harm grass plants and are agricultural pests, which are extremely harmful to agriculture.

5. Can locusts survive for 20 years?

Locusts certainly cannot live for 20 years. The life span of a locust is generally around 2 to 3 months, and no more than 6 months at most.

There are three stages in the life of locusts, namely eggs, nymphs and adults. Eggs live in the soil and cannot move freely. Nymphs are divided into five stages and shed their skin five times. They generally do not feed or eat very little before and after molting. Adults have wings that can fly and reproduce. The reproductive capacity of locusts is amazing. In temperate regions where locusts have amazing reproductive capacity, migratory locusts generally have two generations a year. In tropical regions such as Australia and Hainan Island in my country, they can reproduce four generations a year, and in warm temperate regions, there are also three generations.

There are more than 12,000 species of locusts recorded worldwide, of which more than 900 species are found in China.

6. Do I need to lay a layer of grass when raising grasshoppers?

To raise grasshoppers, you need to lay a layer of grass

The greenhouses are very finely constructed. Each greenhouse has a breathable mesh and zippers at the entrance and exit, like a giant mosquito net. If it rains heavily or the weather is too hot, other tent cloths can be put on the outside to protect the grasshoppers. Through the mesh, the situation inside the greenhouse is clearly visible. Tens of thousands of grasshoppers are distributed everywhere in the greenhouse, either resting or foraging. Fresh grass is placed on the ground inside the greenhouse. These soft and juicy grasses are the main ingredients for feeding the grasshoppers.

7. Do grasshoppers drink milk?

Grasshoppers don't drink milk

Grasshoppers can absorb water from food. Grasshoppers refer to locusts, which belong to the order Orthoptera, including species of the superfamily Tetrigoidea, the superfamily Grasshopper, and the superfamily Acridoidea. There are more than 10,000 species in the world, and more than 1,000 species in China. They are distributed in tropical and temperate grasslands and desert areas around the world. Locusts mainly include migratory locusts and ground locusts. There are three types of migratory locusts in China: the East Asian migratory locust, the Asian migratory locust, and the Tibetan migratory locust. Among them, the East Asian migratory locust has the widest distribution in China and causes the most serious damage. It is an agricultural pest.
