Chapter 829: Raccoon Algae

Luo Tong came back from his contemplation, looked at the movements of the beautiful boy's wiring harness, and suddenly hesitated and asked: "You know a lot, have you learned it systematically?"

The beautiful boy put down the kettle in his hand: "It's not called learning, maybe I was exposed to it a lot when I was a child, and I was exposed to it, my parents are studying tropical rainforest plants, so I inevitably watched more." ”

Luo Tong suddenly nodded with realization, it turned out to be a family history.

"Your parents are amazing!" Luo Tong praised sincerely, and the beautiful boy smiled: "I think so too, they are people I admire very much." ”

When it comes to his parents, the beautiful boy is full of admiration. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, his parents may not have taken good care of him for many years.

However, individuals have their own way of life, and that does not mean that it is not necessarily bad without the company of their parents. On the contrary, he felt that this kind of life was very free and comfortable.

Nowadays, many people like to look for the reason from their original family when they have a little bit of something, but the beautiful boy feels that sometimes it is right to hide in himself to find the reason.

It is not easy for your parents to give birth to you and raise you to such a big age, maybe the time with you is not much, but the care and love that should be given is definitely no less than that of other parents.

Under the leadership of the beautiful boy, Luo Tong saw bottle grass, flytrap and pitcher plant, etc., and finally the beautiful boy also took Luo Tong to see the raccoon algae.

According to him, the tanuki are divided into three populations, namely terrestrial, aquatic and epiphytic.

Terrestrial populations account for about 80 percent of the total, aquatic populations account for about 15 percent, and the rest are epiphytic populations. The beautiful boy took Luo Tong to see the aquatic raccoon algae.

In the store, Luo Tong also saw this terrestrial population of raccoon algae, aquatic populations of raccoon algae, their leaves are like silk flocculents, and many of them are bifurcated.

The beautiful boy pointed to the roots of this aquatic raccoon algae and explained to Luo Tong: "This is the insect trap of the raccoon algae, do you think it is very small?"

Luo Tong looked closely, and sure enough, he saw an oblate spherical translucent insect trap with a diameter of 0.25 to 10 mm at the base of the leaf.

This is already quite small, and if it weren't for her eyes, she really wouldn't be able to see this tiny point.

"I saw one, so how does this raccoon algae prey?"

According to Luo Tong's perverted eyesight, it is comparable to a microscope, and she can see the whole body of the raccoon algae insect trap clearly.

"I saw an opening in the insect trap with antennae around the mouth, what was that for?"

Listening to Luo Tong's words, the beautiful young man looked at Luo Tong in surprise, "Your eyes are so good, I can only see so clearly under the microscope." ”

Skipping this topic, the beautiful boy smiled: "This tentacle is used to attract small creatures, and it has a certain guiding effect, which can lead the prey to the mouth of the insect trap." ”

Although he couldn't see it himself, Luo Tong could see it clearly, so he talked about the memories in his mind, and Luo Tong listened to his words and looked at the raccoon algae carefully.

"When small creatures such as daphnia and squirts come to the mouth of the insect trap in order to find shelter or to be attracted by the honey secreted by the insect sac, once the sensing hair is touched, the original half-deflated insect trap cyst quickly expands, forming a strong suction, and at the same time the membrane valve opens, the water flow of the cyst mouth is sucked into the sac together with the prey, and the membrane valve is quickly closed, and the whole process only takes about one hundredth of a second. ”

"So fast, isn't that invisible to the naked eye?" Luo Tong was surprised, this is too exaggerated, right?

"It's very fast, and of course, the tanuki only can be seen clearly under a microscope. ”

"When the prey enters the insect trap sac, the sac begins to secrete digestive juices, which also have a great help in the breakdown of nutrients. ”

"The raccoon algae are so small, how long does it take for them to decompose once?"

"Generally, only a few hours or a few days of poison, the prey is digested, the wall of the insect trap is absorbed, the excess water is also discharged, and the insect trap will return to its original state and wait for the next prey. ”

"It also looks like a flytrap from time to time, doesn't it have only one insect trap, right?" Looking at the small insect trap, Luo Tong suddenly asked such a question.

"Of course, it's not just one insect trap," the beautiful boy smiled, "After many hunting, the remaining residue will accumulate in the insect trap, making its color gradually darken, and eventually rotting and falling off. ”

"But nowadays, many people raise this raccoon algae, and more of it is cultivated as an ornamental algae, which is basically raised in aquariums. ”

"Is raccoon algae easy to raise?" Luo Tong had never raised this algae plant before, and was very curious.

"It must be easy to raise, I tell you, it is easy to take care of in the aquarium, but unfortunately it is generally kept in the aquarium, and it almost does not give birth to insect traps, because there is not enough food source. ”

"As long as the bottom stem is fixed and the tanuki can adapt to the environment of the aquarium, then the growth of the tanuki is very fast, and it can occupy the entire aquarium in a short period of time, so regular construction is necessary. ”

Luo Tong stretched out his fingers to pluck the slender leaves of the raccoon algae, its leaves were linear, like a silk thread floating in the water, swaying with the waves brought up by Luo Tong's fingers.

The yellow lip-shaped corolla with a long flower stalk blooms on the flower stem, and it is very beautiful.

Seeing that Luo Tong liked this raccoon algae very much, the beautiful boy recommended: "The raccoon algae is very suitable for novice breeding, sister, don't you bring a pot back? ”

Luo Tong's finger moved, "I want a pot of this raccoon algae, and do you have seeds for sale of bottle grass, flytrap and pitcher plant here?"

The beautiful boy hesitated: "There are seeds, but the germination of this kind of seed is still a bit strict, you just buy those finished products, you just need to take good care of them when you go back." ”

Luo Tong complained as if he was innocent: "The plants you have here are too expensive, I want more, it's a little painful, I'd better buy some seeds and go back to try it, if I don't feed it, I won't feel so distressed." ”

The beautiful young man's gaze slid over the pink diamond in Luo Tong's hand, and he squinted and smiled: "Sister, you don't seem to be bad for money, and you are still crying poor here with me in a small business?"

Don't look at the appearance of this beautiful young man, it looks like he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, but this speech is still very down-to-earth, Luo Tong likes to deal with such people.

Not everyone has the courage to approach the flower of Kaolin, at least not Luotong.
