Ask for recommendation votes again, and today we will do it with recommendation votes, because the ranking is too miserable. ****

When the children came back from school and saw several huts that had been built, they immediately screamed excitedly, threw down their schoolbags and ran in and out of them.

played until it was time to eat, Qin Shiou shouted them several times, but no one listened, so he had to spread his hands and shouted: "You are all big children, don't be so middle two, okay?" ”

Shirley was dissatisfied: "This was originally prepared for us, do you think that the six or seven-year-old little guy will use a juicer and an ice machine?" ”

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Very good, if you like it, then sleep in it, live here in the future, and don't have to come back to eat." ”

"So we're really sleeping here?" Shirley looked at Qin Shiou and asked, the cold drink hut has a small bed, and there is a home hut with even a bathroom in it.

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said What do you like, wait to feed the mosquitoes in the middle of the night.

The children were so interested in sleeping in the hut that they actually ran in with their little futon in their arms, but it didn't take long for them to run back again.

Qin Shiou was chatting with Mario about the farm, and when he saw the children running back with a grizzled face, he gloated and said, "What's the matter, aren't there a lot of mosquitoes?" ”

Winnie stood up and said, "It's okay, I'll go find you an electric mosquito coil." ”

Shirley wrinkled her face and said, "No, it's not a mosquito, it's a bug, the bug is squeaking, the cry is too noisy, I can't sleep." ”

"Bugs?" Qin Shiou was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "You're talking about cicadas, right?" ”

The cicada just knows. However, there is no such name in North America.

Shirley and the others nodded, and Gordon said dissatisfiedly, "Yes." It's that kind of bug, it's really annoying. The screams are endless, and they attract a lot of other bugs around, and the roof of the hut is full of bug! ”

Qin Shiou didn't pay attention, he seemed to know a little more this summer.

Shirley and other children call cicadas insects, not because they sell cuteness, but because that's what Canadian children call this insect, because this thing is relatively rare, and they will only see it once at most in their entire childhood.

The Canadian cicada and the Chinese cicada are not the same species. Cicadas are cyclically growing insects, their nymphs survive underground, and eventually adults live on the surface for a period of time, usually in the summer and early autumn months, and then die.

Most of the Chinese cicadas are three-year-old cicadas, five-year cicadas and the like, while the Canadian cicada is a type of North American cicada with the name of the seventeen-year-old cicada!

As the name suggests, these cicadas live for seventeen years, but they spend more than sixteen years hiding underground. The last few months fly out of the ground, look for mates to leave eggs, and then die.

Now the Indians in some places will still use cicadas to calculate their lives. When cicadas first appeared on a large scale. He may still be a child; When he gets married, a large flock of cicadas will appear; They will also appear when his own children get married. By the time he was full of children and grandchildren, he was about to retire. They will reappear.

If they are lucky, these Indians will be able to experience another era of cicada outbreaks. And then you die.

Cicadas are a global creature, and they occur every year, and Qin Shiou also heard cicadas chirping on Farewell Island last year, but the number was scarce, so he didn't care.

But this year, it seems that the cicadas are suddenly chaotic, and the number of them sounds much more than last year.

Qin Shiou briefly mentioned it, and Mario smiled: "Didn't you pay attention?" This year is the 17th year of the cicada outbreak cycle, and the three grassland provinces are already preparing for disaster prevention. ”

At that time, Qin Shiou didn't care, the cicada only sucks tree sap, does not hurt people, does not bite people, and does not eat crops and grain, what kind of disaster can it be regarded as? He thought Mario was joking, but a few days later he found out that it wasn't a joke!

The population of cicadas exploded very rapidly, Qin Shiou didn't feel anything the day before, and when he was running in the morning the next day, he suddenly saw a group of small insects flying out of the grove, and then flew back after a circle, and then there was a 'squeak' cry in the grove.

"Damn, it can't all be cicadas, right?" Qin Shiou asked in astonishment.

The soldiers ran with Qin Shiou, and when they heard his question, the black knife smiled: "Of course, that's a cicada, that's a seventeen-year-old cicada, I am very impressed by them, when I was on duty in Washington seventeen years ago, I suffered from them!" ”

As he spoke, the black knife sighed: "God, can you slow down time?" It's been seventeen years in the blink of an eye, and I'm still a hairy lad, alas. ”

Qin Shiou said strangely: "What kind of suffering can you suffer from such a thing as a cicada?" They don't bite or eat crops, but they are still a delicious food. ”

A group of GIs stared at him with strange eyes, and BB Frost said exaggeratedly, "Food? No, I'm not going to eat such ugly guys, they're like, uh, like aliens, yes, aliens, very scary! ”

"They don't bite, but they are very annoying, as long as there are trees, there are their deposits, you have to keep driving them, or they will buzz all day and all night, crunching and chewing leaves above your head...... Oh, God! It was a disaster! ”

"Cicadas don't eat leaves, OK?" Qin Shiou said.

The Trigger Gang defended: "No, they eat, there used to be a small poplar tree in my yard, and it turned out that about seventeen years ago, a group of cicadas invaded it, and it didn't take long for the leaves to disappear, and naturally, the poor little tree also died!" ”

Qin Shiou laughed, he thought that these Americans were quite interesting, they were experts in some fields, and in some fields, they were idiotic and cute.

There was nothing to argue about, Qin Shiou acquiesced to their statement and ran to the side of the grove to listen for a while.

The noisy chirping of cicadas is too loud to hear, but a little harsh, which shows how many of them are.

After returning to the villa, he checked on the Internet, Mario was not joking, the three provinces of the grassland did issue a seventeen-year cicada outbreak warning.

There are two varieties of cicadas in the United States and Canada, depending on the month of maturity of the adults, and they have not been found anywhere else in the world except for the North American continent.

In fact, cicadas have been documented since the beginning of human settlement in the continental United States, but even today, entomologists do not fully understand this supposedly most abundant insect on Earth.

The seventeen-year-old cicada of the United States occupies more than 15 states, and the entire Mid-Atlantic region has been taken by them, such as most of Virginia, New York, Western Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, northern Georgia, etc.

Canada's 17-year-old cicada lives mainly in the southern parts of the Prairie provinces, Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland, such as Farewell Island.

The reason why these insects are considered a disaster is that they are so violent that the number of cicadas per acre of land can reach an average of 1.5 million in forested areas where the climate is adapted! (To be continued......)
