Chapter 608: Praying Mantis Catches Cicada

ps: Thank you for the big devil who loves to sleep, Xie Zhixiu, loneliness, jogging, heart dragon, gh-1, Kailing, civet cat, as well as Qingyin's monthly pass, and the brothers and sisters who voted highly praised, thank you!

This season is the peak season of cicadas, and in the evening, Chen Wu and the others and those children will be caught all over the village, and they can be caught until the evening. Tang Liye and others felt very interesting and also participated in it.

Monkeys and other animals are naturally not far behind, they are the masters, and they catch them much faster than others. That is, those who know and still scream desperately, for fear that others will not know that they exist.

"Do you really want to eat these things?" Chu Jiaqiang's cousin and cousin felt incredible, although they had known for a long time that they could eat it, when they were in the capital, there were many special restaurants with this kind of knowledge, scorpions, etc. But when they really want to eat, they don't dare.

"If you pluck up the courage to eat it once, you'll love it. People who have never eaten it naturally have a psychological disorder. Li Quan said. This thing, they used to drink some time ago, and they don't know how cool it is.

"Hey! Monkey, bring it quickly. Zhou Furong said to the monkey.

I saw the monkey climb up the tree quickly, and with a slight pat of the monkey's hand, he caught Zhizhi. It's just that what this guy catches is basically not confiscated, he uses a bag and wraps it around his waist, and he has to learn to wear a hat on his monkey head, which makes people speechless.

The monkey shook his head, picked a fruit from the tree, and threw it at Zhou Furong, grinning again.

"Is it going to turn the sky upside down? There is something you have to eat at night. Zhou Furong was immediately furious.

At this time, Brother Wren flew over, and he also laughed, and he didn't know who this guy was laughing at, after all, everyone knew that this guy had tooth marks with Zhou Furong and the monkey.

Zhou Furong was even more angry. Every time this guy would fly over and laugh at him. And the monkey thought that the wren was laughing at it, so he picked another fruit and threw it at the wren.

Chen Wu and the others have long been accustomed to it, such a situation does not happen once or twice, if the three of them calm down and talk, it will be a strange news in the world. However, Tang Liye and the others were dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to evaluate it.

After a while, Tang Liye saw Ye Jisheng standing quietly under the tree, his eyes fixed on the trunk. Confused, he asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Ye Jisheng stretched out a finger, put it to his mouth, signaled not to make noise, and then pointed to the trunk. The others were curious, and they all gently gathered around. Let's find out.

When I saw it clearly, I found that it was a praying mantis quietly approaching a person named Zhenghuan.

"This is a praying mantis catching cicadas, right?" Some people immediately became interested, and they all watched how the praying mantis was going to catch cicadas. Everyone has heard of that idiom, but unfortunately there is no yellow finch behind.

However, at this time, Brother Wren also flew over secretly. Not far away, a bird's head sticks out, aimed at the praying mantis, and it may be ready to bite at any time.

The praying mantis is also a strange animal, which is also given magical sayings in the countryside. There is a superstitious belief that the brown saliva of the praying mantis can blind people, and that horses and mules will die after eating the praying mantis, and so on. And since ancient times. In China, there is praying mantis boxing in the martial arts world. Seems to be quite famous.

They eat only live insects and firmly pinch their prey with their spiny forefeet. When frightened, it flutters its wings and rustles, and at the same time reveals a distinct warning color. It is commonly found in vegetation rather than on the ground

, the body may resemble green or brown dead leaves, twigs, lichens, flowers, or ants. Relying on mimicry not only allows you to avoid predators, but it is also difficult to detect when approaching or waiting for your prey.

The speed of the mantis's attack was very fast, and before everyone could react, the mantis had already caught Zhi and was biting heavily. At this time, Brother Wren also grabbed the praying mantis in an instant, and he didn't let go of the one he knew.

"The praying mantis looks so ugly!" A girl said suddenly. These multi-legged animals, they girls feel bad and repulsive, just like centipedes, which makes people feel chilling.

"I've heard that these praying mantis eat their husbands, and this habit is really unbearable." Some male compatriots said. As far as they know, female praying mantis has the phenomenon of eating husbands, and male praying mantis is generally dedicated, which is well known.

It has been reported that some experts have said that female mantis requires a lot of energy to lay eggs, and the meat of male mantis is an excellent source of energy. Male mantis mantis with a severed head can complete mating, which has been experimentally confirmed, because the nerve that controls mating is not in the head, but in the abdomen, and because some of the nerve inhibitory centers are located in the head, eating the head can also help to enhance the male's sexual performance. The male praying mantis does not die, which is really intolerable.

"The praying mantis, although notorious, is actually a beneficial insect. You may not know it, because they are meaty and often catch pests. Xu Hao opened his mouth to explain.

"It looks like an owl, and while it's good for farming, it's not pleasing to everyone." This reminded Li Quan of an owl, the last time an owl flew to catch mice, but was still driven away by the villagers.

No way, the cry of the owl is really a little scary, especially at night, there is a creepy feeling, who would like it? And the praying mantis is also, not to mention aggressive by nature, and has the habit of eating big and small, female eating male, which makes the people very disliked.

"This thing is concocted, and it can be eaten." Someone told everyone.

As soon as these words came out, even foodies like Zhou Furong shook their heads again and again, saying that it was difficult to accept. Eating praying mantis, it feels really unbearable, mainly because the psychological level can't be passed. It's like people who have never eaten woodworms, and when they see their wriggling touch, they feel like they want to vomit.

"Grandma's! If you dare to eat it, I'll catch it for you. Chen Wu got goosebumps.

"I didn't say I ate it! I've only seen other people eat it, and after it has been cleaned, it is soaked in salted water for a while, and then it is dried, or fried, and it is ready to eat. The man immediately pleaded.

"It seems that female praying mantis are bigger than male praying mantises, no wonder male praying mantis only has a portion to be eaten, it's a very strange phenomenon!" Someone who knows about praying mantis is amazed. According to his knowledge of the praying mantis, it seems that the female is fiercer and stronger than the male praying mantis. This phenomenon is not difficult to explain, the male praying mantis is eaten.

"That's pretty much it! In fact, not only praying mantises, but also some other insects, males are weaker than females, and can only serve females. Wasn't this the case when we humans were at their most primitive? In the feudal era, it turned to a patriarchal society, and now men and women are equal. Xu Hao said.

Here, he is the expert, and his speech is naturally a little more authoritative.

"Look how many there are." Zhou Furong opened the covered bucket. Everyone knew that they were inside, and in order to prevent them from flying away, they also ripped off their wings.

"Let's make some fires at night! It's a lot faster. Li Quan said.
