Dragon lice, commonly known as water turtle, also known as water turtle, water turtle insect, urine turtle, black turtle bean, etc., it is an aquatic insect, there are more than 4,000 kinds of fish in the world, and the feeding habits are very mixed, from insects to fish larger than itself.

There are also many kinds of dragon lice in China, among which the local dragon lice in Hongyang is called Huangxing big dragon lice, which is a medicinal and edible insect with unique flavor and rich nutrition, and is a dish in the local area.

Dragon lice this insect looks a little disgusting, in fact, its edibility is very strong, there is a proverb in the red ocean that 'the big black dog on the ground, the monkey climbing on the tree, and the black turtle bean in the water', this proverb refers to three kinds of food, knowing the monkey, black dog meat, and the dragon lice commonly known as the black turtle bean.

Hearing that Ao Xiaomi and his party were catching dragon lice, Ao Muyang was in a mood and asked, "Yo, there are dragon lice on the lake?"

Dragon lice can swim and fly, live in ponds, swamps, ditches and other freshwater waters with many aquatic plants, and have low requirements for water quality. When he was a teenager, Ao Muyang often went to catch dragon lice, this thing is delicious, can be fried, fried or baked, after being roasted and fried with spice seasoning, it is crispy and delicious, which can be called a delicacy.

Grab it, this thing is very rare, Ao Muyang was still looking for it on the lake two years ago, and he didn't find a few, which made him feel very regretful.

Not only ambergris lakes are now rare dragon lice, but the natural waters of the entire Red Ocean do not have such aquatic insects, so that they have to be cultivated in captivity.

Now the dragon lice sold on the market are artificially raised, eat corn flour, rice bran, wheat bran and other kinds of feed, but dragon lice are carnivorous under natural conditions, eat feed to grow fast, but the protein content is low, the taste is poor.

Occasionally, there are farms that pay attention to feeding cheap broken fruits, broken snails or pigs, chickens, cows, duck scraps, so that the dragon lice raised are better than eating feed to raise the taste, often have a fixed source of customers, do not need to enter the market, retail sales can be sold out.

Knowing that there are a lot of dragon lice in the lake now, Ao Muyang rowed a boat and took a bottle to find it.

Rowing into the water and grass by the lake, he took a look, and did see a few large black insects flowing between the water and grass, these insects are like beetles, but the appearance is pitch black, looking down at them is very similar to a large watermelon seed, but there is a small yellow dot on the top of the head, this is the local dragon lice species in the Red Ocean, the Yellow Star Dragon Llice.

In the magical land of China, whether a creature is endangered or flooded depends on whether it can eat it, not how it looks.

Speaking of which, dragon lice are still very strong in their reproductive ability, and they are also strong in combat, and the larvae of water lice even have the same nickname as piranhas, water tigers.

As a result, no matter what, when it is known that it is nutritious and tasty, the population becomes dangerous.

Dragon lice is not only delicious, but also has medical effects, modern medical research it can enhance the body's ability to adapt to exercise load, has a good anti-fatigue function. In the famous works of traditional Chinese medicine such as "Materia Medica" and "Luchuan Materia Medica", they believe that dragon lice return to the kidney meridian, which can tonify the kidney, shrink urine, and invigorate blood.

Nourish the kidneys and invigorate the blood......

Anything with these two words on it, and that race will not want to overflow!

Ao Muyang didn't pay attention to it before, there were indeed a lot of dragon lice in Ambergris Lake this year, I don't know if it is related to the release of people, someone may have released dragon lice here.

In short, he immediately seized the opportunity to start, although there are a lot of dragon lice in the grass, but once the news spreads, it will soon disappear.

The teenagers also know this, they swim in the water and carefully search for dragon lice, I don't know who is still singing happily: "String your heart and my heart, string a string of lucky insects, string a concentric circle, let all the calls for the future, take advantage of youth to be a companion......"

Dragon lice are delicious and not easy to catch, they have the reputation of being the king of rowing boats in nature, and as one of the few aquatic beetles, dragon lice have evolved their hind feet like a boat pulp, flat and covered with long hair, so that they can fly through the water.

In addition, their bodies are oval-shaped, and their pitch-black shells are very smooth, which minimizes the drag of flight, and they can fly up and down to swim, and they are good at air and water combat.

But if they land on the ground, they won't, so catching dragon lice is best to attract them to land.

There is an easy way to catch dragon lice on the ground, and it is this method that has caused dragon lice to become increasingly rare, and like most aquatic insects and fish, dragon lice are very phototaxis.

In this way, find a place with a lot of dragon lice in the lake and river during the day, and hang a flashlight by the lake and river at night, and it will take less than two hours to catch all the dragon lice around.

Some people in the village have found that there are a lot of dragon lice in the lake, and they did not come to catch them, but went back to get the lamp and prepared for a big operation at night.

Ao Muyang went to catch it with his own hands, which was quite difficult, whether the dragon lice were flying or gliding on the water, the speed was very fast at this time, and they had to be caught while they stopped.

However, they are very good at camouflage, and once they stop, they will hide behind blades of grass or burrow into the sand of the lake, and they will only emerge when they find their prey.

Ao Xiaomi had been arrested for a while, but the mineral water bottle on his waist was still empty, which shows the difficulty of his capture.

Ao Muyang's movements were faster than them, he rowed into the water and grass, and then saw a dragon lice hiding behind the water grass blades, so he immediately waved his hand to catch the dragon lice.

But dragon lice will not sit still, and if the ship pushes the aquatic weeds, they will immediately run away, and it is even more difficult to catch the flying dragon lice.

Ao Muyang was very cautious and caught it for more than ten minutes, but he only caught five dragon lice, which made him very helpless.

Two small marmosets hiding in his pocket popped up, looked at them for a moment, and then crawled out.

A cattail plant jumped on its trouser pocket, and next to it was a thick rhizome with a dragon lice clinging to it, waiting for food to come to the door.

Taking advantage of the dragon's lice, it jumped up with a swoop in its trouser pocket, grabbed the rhizome of the cattail with its forelimbs, and pinched the dragon's lice with its left foot.

After grabbing this dragon lice, it was like Tarzan of the apes, pulling the aquatic plants with both hands and jumping, and soon returned to Ao Muyang's side, and put a dragon lice in front of him with his left foot.

Ao Muyang was overjoyed, and immediately gave it a little gold drop: "Okay, trouser pocket, you can!"

The little marmoset ate the golden drops and jumped left and right, and then attacked again, at this time the pocket was also caught, and he also caught a dragon lice and came back, proudly bouncing on Ao Muyang's legs.

These two small marmosets are good at catching dragon lice, and they are considered natural enemies of dragon lice, because the golden lion-faced tamarins in nature like to eat insects, and they often shuttle through the woods to catch insects.
