In summer, in addition to the rampant mosquitoes, they also keep croaking when they know it, and they just scream endlessly all day long, which makes people annoying, at least Chu Jiaqiang doesn't like these guys who keep croaking.

In the middle of summer, the chirping of cicadas can bring wildness, tranquility and coolness. The melodious chirping of cicadas often reminds people of their childhood.

In the summer, after a thunderstorm, you can find some round burrows on the ground around the roots of the trees, which is where the cicadas are unearthed, and if you are lucky, you can catch the cicadas that have not molted.

"The cicadas are starting to increase, that thing is a good thing, it's delicious, let's go out to catch it tonight, and we will fry it back, hehe!" Zhou Furong said.

As soon as this suggestion came out, Jackton and the others immediately raised their hands in agreement. These gringos, who have been in Chujiazhai for so long, have finally experienced the deliciousness of various Chinese snacks, and they can be said to be unstoppable, just like the bee chrysalis last time.

Li Quan caught one on the longan tree: "I don't know the male and female, it's so powerful!" ”

Professor Wen explained: "The cicada is a male cicada, and its articulator is at the base of the abdomen, like a large drum covered with a layer of tympanic membrane, the eardrum is vibrated to produce sound, and the cover plate and the tympanic membrane are empty, which can play a resonant role, so its song is particularly loud. And can take turns to sing passionately in a variety of different tones.

The female cicada's instrument is not fully constructed and cannot make sounds, so it is a 'dumb cicada'. The male cicadas sing non-stop every day, not to lure the female to mate, and they cannot hear their own 'songs'. ”

Hearing the expert's explanation, everyone was stunned for a moment, and Chen Wukou said without hesitation: "Isn't that a deaf person, a mute person?" What a strange combination. ”

Hearing Chen Wu's statement, although it sounded very unpleasant, it seemed quite appropriate. Professor Wen and the others were dumbfounded.

Interestingly, the cicada can suck the juice through a straw and sing with a musical instrument at the same time, eating and singing do not interfere with each other, and the cicada's chirping can predict the weather, if the cicada sings loudly at the end of the tree very early. This tells people that "it's hot today".

The soprano singer of the cicada family is a type of cicada known as the "double drummer". It has large ring-shaped vocal organs on both sides of its body. In the middle of the body is a disc that can be opened and closed inside and out. The disc opens and closes quickly, and the jittery cicada chirps are emitted from this. This sound lacks variety, but is much louder than the call of a jungle canary.

At this time, Brother Wren flew back, looked at the knowledge in Li Quan's hand, and shouted: "It's noisy!" It's noisy! ”

"Fuck off! Aren't you noisy? Shut up! Zhou Furong scolded.

Brother Wren looked over and scolded: "Dead fat, dead fat!" "After calling it, fly away immediately. It knew that the fat man would sometimes go crazy, and he would definitely take out his anger at it, and every time he would fly away after scolding.

Fu Shenglin told everyone: "The cicada is a tenacious lifeform, and the cicada's chrysalis spends the first two or three years of its life underground, perhaps for a longer period of time. During this time. It sucks the liquid from the roots of trees. Then one day he broke through the ground and found a tree to climb with his survival instinct. After several years of slow growth, the cicada pupa crawls out of the ground as a reservoir of energy.

The larvae live in the soil for several years and molt a total of 5 times. Whenever spring is warm, the larvae move upwards and suck the sap of plant roots, and when autumn turns to winter. Then they went deep into the soil to avoid the cold. ”

However, the tiny larvae hatch from the eggs and stay on the branches. The autumn wind blows it to the ground, and as soon as it reaches the ground, it immediately looks for soft soil and burrows down to the roots of the tree, and sucks the sap of the roots to live. That's how I spend my life.

It can be seen that they are insects that cannot be seen, and although they have a long lifespan, they rarely live in the sun, and spend almost their entire lives in the dark, which is a pity.

Hong Lao nodded: "It is their ability to molt and be reborn, the cicada symbolizes resurrection and eternal life in ancient China, and this symbolism comes from its life cycle: it is initially a larvae, then becomes a cicada chrysalis on the ground, and finally becomes a flying insect." From the late Zhou Dynasty to the funerals of the Han Dynasty, people always put a jade cicada into the mouth of the deceased for shelter and eternal life. Since it is believed that the cicada lives on dew, it is again a symbol of purity. ”

He is an antique player and often encounters jade cicadas. A good jade cicada, and even a secretive one, can be said to be priceless and very precious.

Chu Jiaqiang pursed his lips and said: "I know that whenever the cicada falls on the branch and sings, while piercing the bark with its thin mouthparts to suck the sap, all kinds of thirsty ants, flies, beetles, etc. will come to suck the sap, and the cicada will fly to another tree, and then open another spring, and continue to provide them with drinks, so that if a tree is inserted by a cicada with more than a dozen holes, the sap will run out and wither and die." It can be seen that cicadas are a big pest of trees. ”

Whenever the cicada is thirsty and hungry, it will always use its hard mouthparts: a slender hard tube, insert its mouth into the trunk of the tree to suck the sap all day long, and inhale a large amount of nutrients and water into its body to prolong its life.

Seeing that Chu Jiaqiang didn't seem to like this kind of creature that disturbed people's dreams, Wan Lao and the others all smiled helplessly and shook their heads, speechless, not knowing what to say.

"When the grasshopper mature nymph changes into an adult, the shell of the feather shed is called cicada molt, also known as cicada retreat or cicada skin, its main components contain chitin and protein, sweet, salty, cold, into the lungs, liver meridian, is an important spicy and cool surface Chinese medicine." Yang Lao saw the medicinal value of knowing.

After dinner in the evening, Zhou Furong, Xiaobao and others took a small bucket with a lid and began to walk around the village. Other tourists got the news and also went out, many of them are trying to have fun, a mood, a freshness, and experience the fun of experiencing the countryside.

Zhou Furong was very unlucky, when he caught one of them, who knew that he actually gave him a soak of urine and ejaculated him. At that time, Zhou Furong didn't know that this was the urine he knew, and he didn't care too much.

That is, Professor Wen's disciple Xu Hao told him, and the guy immediately shouted bad luck.

The cicada squeaks in the trees, and if you attack it, there will often be a stream of sewage-like liquid spilled from the leaves, which is the cicada's urine. The cicada's food is mainly the sap of the tree. The mouth of the cicada is like a hard tube, it inserts its mouth into the trunk of the tree, sucks the sap all day long, and sucks a lot of nutrients and water into the body, which is used to prolong its life.

When attacked, it rushes to drain the waste fluid stored in its body out of its body, which it uses to lose weight for take-off and to defend itself. Unlike other insects, cicada excretes feces in a rectal sac that can be excreted at any time in an emergency.

"So run that far?" Chu Jiaqiang said. If you look at these people, you will know that they are inexperienced.

"I know what you're trying to say, after one tree is caught, it will soon fly over to other people. But by the time we got to know, we'd already caught several. Li Quan said.

Chu Jiaqiang shook his head, catching cicadas is different from catching other songworms. Cicadas have phototaxis, when night falls, just burn a fire under the trunk, and at the same time knock on the trunk, the cicada will pounce on the fire, at this time quickly come forward to catch it alive, nine out of ten steady, very interesting.

After listening to Chu Jiaqiang's words, Chen Wu and the others were a little dumbfounded. Li Quan said in disbelief: "No? So cool? ”

Seeing that they didn't believe it very much, Chu Jiaqiang found a tree and burned a fire next to the trunk. At the same time, from time to time there are a few taps on the trunk. The firelight first attracted insects such as moths, and the moths put out the fire, which was famous and not surprising.

It didn't take long for everyone to find out that more than a dozen of them were flying towards the fire.

"It's a lot, everyone hurry up and help, oops! It's a pity that a few flew into the fire. Feed! Go back and get a big net. Chen Wu shouted.

Everyone hurried to do it, especially those with nets in their hands, and it was easy to catch them.

"Is this all right? Is there any mistake? Someone was amazed.

"Whatever! Anyway, this time we're refreshed, I like it. Zhou Furong said happily. At this time, I completely forgot about the fact that I was known to pee just now.

Xiaobao caught those ones one by one into the bucket, and it didn't take long for the bucket to be full. The little guy hurriedly brought Zhizhi back, and then asked Mrs. Hong to help him find a bucket with a lid.

"There's no such little bucket anymore, use a snakeskin bag to fill it, over there, get it yourself!" Hong Lao said.

He was also very surprised to see that those people had caught so many Zhizhi so quickly. When Xiaobao left with the snakeskin bag, several old people couldn't help but follow to take a look.

"Huh! You're really new to this kind of catch! Labor-saving and efficient! When Professor Wen and the others saw that scene, they immediately smiled and appreciated.

After catching a lot of them back, Zhou Furong and others began to fry them, Professor Wen and others hurriedly let Chu Jiaqiang's jar of wine come out, thinking that everyone was drinking and eating and chatting, life is better than immortals!

Professor Wen helped to distinguish between knowing monkeys and monkeys, knowing that monkeys are adults, and knowing monkeys are non-adults. If you know that the monkey has more meat, the taste will be better than that of the monkey.

But whether it is a monkey or a monkey, it is necessary to be salted in water, and frying is the best. However, if you have time, you can cook it. Then I peel off the shell and take the bit of meat on its back, and it's all red meat, which is much better than shrimp. It's up to you how to do it next, you can refer to the various methods of shrimp, but this is more wasteful and requires a lot of knowledge.

At this time, almost everyone gathered around. Those animals are no exception, and before they are ripe, they look fixedly at the fragrant ones one by one.
