The vegetarian Oriental marching ant can be the first choice of food for anteaters in protected areas, and Yang Shubao looked up the information about this ant, which is indeed more common in southeastern China.

They can be found in vegetable fields in rural areas, where they sometimes nibble on turnips, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and if they grow watermelons in the summer, they are even happier to eat watermelons.

There are certainly no Oriental marching ants in South Africa, but there is also a reproductively active marching ant called the spear ant.

Yang Shubao studied two kinds of marching ants and found that they were very similar to the living habits of the locals.

For example, the Oriental marching ants, like the Chinese, have a high proportion of vegetarian food; while the spear ants, like the African natives, have very mouthful mouths and only eat meat!

In this way, the introduction of spear ants is not very reliable, this thing especially likes to attack termites, termites are slow, the flesh is honest, and there is no other means to resist the invasion of spear ants except for the hard point of the head.

So once the spear ant targets the termite nest, then the nest of termites is finished, they are not opponents at all, although the head is a little harder, but the spear ant has good teeth, and it should be eaten when it is chewing.

In addition, they also like to make other insect nests, fierce as wasps are not their opponents, wasps, killer bees are very good at dealing with other animals and even humans, but they just can't handle spear ants.

For example, wasps have stinging needles, and spear ants have them.

They can bite, and so can spear ants.

They can fly, this spear ant can't, but they can wait by the nest, and unless the wasp keeps flying in the sky and doesn't return to the nest, they will be beaten when they come back.

There are too many spear ants, they never fight in groups, and they like to fight one in hundreds of wasps.

The wasps are helpless in front of them, and once they fall into the colony, they don't want to fly again.

After research, it was found that the Oriental marching ant was the most suitable for introduction into the reserve.

And he consulted again that this ant could be introduced to South Africa.

This is what Yang Shubao is most worried about, generally speaking, insects have the strongest regional invasion ability, and it is easy to cause species invasion, so South Africa actually allowed the eastern marching ants to enter.

The answer is very simple: the combat effectiveness of the Oriental marching ants is not good, once it is found that there is a problem of the flood of Oriental marching ants, as long as you get two spear ants and ants to go over, it will not take a month or two for the indigenous people to complete the elimination of invasive alien species.

This is in contrast to the indigenous peoples of Africa, who were powerless against invaders from other continents and had to be sold into slavery.

Yang Shubao contacted a specialized insect breeding center and purchased twenty colonies of Oriental Marching Ants.

This ant colony carries queens, workers, soldiers, and males, but hormones limit their numbers, and as long as there is plenty of food, the queen will quickly expand the colony.

Throughout April and May, he was obsessed with insect farming and research, and his knowledge soared, if not to mention that.

In May, South Africa is starting to get colder, and autumn is coming to an end, and winter is coming.

At this time, a guest came to the reserve:

Sphinx.

The Sang people have a shop at the entrance of the reserve, and they come to work every morning and get off work in the evening, they will come before the time when tourists are allowed to enter the park, and after they come, they will clean up the sanitation at the entrance of the reserve, which is a small favor for Lao Yang.

As a result, after the arrival of the San people today, they saw the sphinx placed here, they did not go to school and never went abroad, they did not know the sphinx, a cultural symbol of North Africa, and saw such a golden metal statue, a few people thought it was the statue of the god that Lao Yang had newly gotten.

So they fell on their knees and worshipped.

It doesn't matter what god he is, it's always good to worship more.

A tour group came later, and when they saw the San people kneeling and worshiping the Sphinx, the tourists were very curious: "How can the San people in South Africa worship the gods of the Egyptians in North Africa?"

Strange and strange, the tourists were very happy to take a group photo, and some commented: "The face carving of this Sphinx is so realistic, this is really amazing, it is definitely from the hand of the master." ”

Then a group of Chinese tourists came......

Finding that the San people knelt down to worship the Sphinx, several old men and old ladies hurriedly knelt down: burn incense in the temple, see the Buddha and worship the Buddha.

An old lady was very disappointed: "We didn't bring incense candles and paper money when we came out for travel? Where are there any incense candles that sell incense?"

"This foreign god doesn't necessarily eat incense, so ask what kind of god this is. ”

"Every god has to eat incense, and God will burn incense when he goes to us. ”

"Okay, don't be ashamed, this is the Sphinx, not a god!"

An old man generously took out his wallet and threw cash: "Sphinx, I know, this is the land lord of Africa, and I have to give money." ”

"What kind of money to give? Waste, if you have this money, you might as well go back and donate it to the Red Cross." ”

"It's a waste if you donate to the Red Cross, you might as well throw it away to those who ask for food. ”

"Give it to anyone, don't give it to this foreign god, you are engaging in feudal superstition abroad. An old gentleman with thinning hair who looked like an intellectual said angrily.

Then, in the midst of the bustling argument between the old men and the old ladies, the Sphinx opened its eyes.

The old intellectual gentleman knelt on the spot: "The land lord has appeared!"

An old lady almost pumped over.

They didn't expect foreign gods to play real.

The tour guide hurriedly walked over and hugged the old lady and said, "Uncle and aunt, don't mess around, this is performance art, this is art, and people are pretending." ”

The back half of the Sphinx didn't move, and from it stood a man covered in gold dust and grinned at them.

Several old ladies almost pulled over.

The tour guide hurriedly explained, and after understanding the truth of performance art, the old men and old ladies got angry: "Isn't this a joke about the gods?"

Seeing a golden man standing on the Sphinx, the Mulberry people who were bargaining with the tourists were also stunned, and they quickly ran out and bowed their heads like they bowed, showing more piety than the old ladies.

There was a sudden chaos at the door.

The news that Yang Shubao got later was: There is a god at the gate of the reserve!

He was startled, thinking that it was the Tree of Life or the elves that had done something, so he hurried to see it, and when he saw the smiling gold-lacquered figure, he reacted: "Hey, are you, are you a friend of Egypt?"

The golden lacquer figure nodded and smiled at him gently: "Hello, Mr. Yang, we have met again." ”

Yang Shubao slapped his forehead and said, "Aziz?"

The golden lacquer figure smiled happily: "Yes, I'm Aziz Abdul Ethan, time flies so fast, Mr. Yang, it's been a year and a half since we last met." ”

Uncle Yang laughed and said, "Yes, my friend, time flies so fast, you are welcome to come back again, but why don't you go to me directly when you come back?" ”

Aziz said: "It's never too late for friends to meet, we are not in a hurry to meet, please let me continue to complete the Sphinx performance, the cycle of the performance is one day, I have to finish it." ”
