Chapter 161: It's better to see is believing
"You show me her, read me sentence by sentence, not a word is allowed to fall, not a word is wrong, read to me!"
This looks like he can't cure this guy's rhythm, where is this okay, Tang Kang's temperament is also quite calm in other things, this is his own brother, it's nothing, nothing.
Where else can this be, how can you put up with this problem so much!
So, Tang Kang directly gave a death order, and he had to let this guy honestly recognize the reality!
"You read it to me, I'll listen!"
"Oh."
That can't be helped, my brother spoke, and people Chang Rong could only do it!
"1. Oviposition period, in mid-July every year, most species enter the adult stage one after another, and in late August, the female chooses tree branches or walls, fences, stones, and stone crevices to lay eggs. During oviposition, the left appendage gland first secretes foamy protein substances at the opening of the genital cavity, and the right appendage gland secretes diphenolic substances, so that the secreted protein substances coagulate into a layer of harder shell and cover the outside of the egg mass, forming an egg sheath. The number of egg sheaths, the size of the egg sheath and the number of eggs in the sheath of a female locust vary depending on the species, and generally 1~4 egg sheaths can be laid. It takes 2~4 hours to complete each egg sheath, and the number of eggs in an egg sheath ranges from 40 to 300. The first egg sheath is white or milky white, soft, and becomes earthy yellow or yellow-brown after 5~10 hours, and some become black-brown. Those that are born on mulberry branches are called mulberry crickets. Because the egg sheath has different sizes, lengths and widths, roundness and flattening, and colors, it has folk names such as Yi hat, wild fox snot, and urine dog. All kinds of praying mantis use egg sheaths to protect egg cells through the cold winter. At the beginning of June of the following year, the overwintering eggs begin to hatch, so there is a saying of "midsummer praying mantis", which continues until early July, and the hatching time of the eggs is early and late, in addition to the temperature and humidity of the year, it is also related to the intensity or length of light received by the spawning place. ”
"Go on."
Tang Kang looked at his own brother who had just finished reading that paragraph, and then looked up at himself, where did he go, "Go on!" Look at what I'm doing! ”
"Oh, well!"
Tang Jian nodded and continued to look below.
"2. Nymph stage. After the egg develops into a nymph through the embryo in the sheath, it rises to the adult to lay eggs by the peristalsis of the body and the swelling force of the egg, and hatches out of the egg membrane from the hatching left when the sheath is made, and with the help of the gelatinous filament secreted on the tenth web plate, the egg shell and the insect body are adherently suspended, sometimes it can be pulled into a long string of more than 10 pieces, and the individuals who hatch early soon take advantage of the wind to grasp the surrounding objects with their feet and run to each other, this natural phenomenon is also an instinct of the praying mantis to avoid cannibalism in life and preserve its own species. The hatching time of eggs is mostly from 4 o'clock in the morning to 8~9 o'clock (Chinese praying mantis); The broad-bellied cockroach is mostly in the peak hatching period at about 18 o'clock in the afternoon; The thin-winged mantis is in its peak season at 9~12 o'clock. The 1~2 instar insects have strong cannibalism, and the survival rate is generally only 10%~20% in the natural environment. This cannibalism phenomenon may be an interspecific mechanism for the number of praying mantis insects to be controlled to a certain number, and the generation of this interspecific mechanism is related to the hunger tolerance of young nymphs, because the first and second instars die in 4~5 days in the case of complete lack of food, and the later nymphs can only maintain a life period of 11~18 days in the case of lack of food, and the nymphs are similar to the adult morphology, but the feet of the nymphs at different instars have wing buds from small to large, and after the end of the instar is completed, two pairs of large wings that play a flying role are grown. ”
"Go on!"
"4. Feeding habits, praying mantis is a terrestrial predatory insect (carnivorous), all small species of insects can be preyed upon by praying mantises, especially flies, mosquitoes, moths, eggs, larvae, bare pupae, and adults are suitable prey. Even large insects such as cicadas and flying locusts are also their prey. ”
"Mimicry behavior
1. Mimic into flowers. There is a kind of praying mantis in the tropics, its forefeet are intended to be petal-shaped, its body color changes to purple-white, it hides in the leaf-like bushes, and at first glance it looks like a purple-white orchid. There is a flower praying mantis in Malaysia with a pink body that looks like a blooming flower, attracting butterflies to collect nectar and be fooled.
2. Mimic leaves. Other praying mantis sprouts grow leaves and protrusions on the thorax and abdomen, tibia, and vesting joints, mimicking leaves, branches, and scars to confuse the insects. Colorful Chinese
3. Mimic into water droplets. There is a kind of praying mantis in the tropical desert area, the body is green, the head has a flat protrusion, smooth and bright, lying in the grass, the protrusion on the head in the sun is like a drop of crystal dew, attracting small insects in arid areas to come to fetch water and be arrested.
4. Mimic prey. A French biologist once saw a praying mantis meet a large gray locust mimicism. When the praying mantis saw the locust, it immediately spread its wings and shook to the sides, its hind wings stood upright, like a sailboat, and the upper end of the side body was bent, making the sound of a poisonous snake squirting, and the weight of the whole body was placed on the back four legs, and the body was all erect, standing motionless, and the eyes were fixed on the locust. The locust moved slightly, the head of the mantis immediately turned, the locust was frightened by this posture, slowly lay on the ground, did not run away, and even moved towards the mantis, when it moved to the mantis reach, the mantis pounced, and the locust became its mouth food without resistance. ”
……
That's right.
This Tang Kang listened to this crackling, this is also a lot of chatter, why is this still like this?
Did you overlook something?
It seems that there is something important that I haven't read.,It's really not read.,I didn't read what I was supposed to read.,And then it's not very useful in itself.,But I read a lot!
But when Tang Kang found out about it, Tang Jian would have already thrown his hands honestly and quit!
"I'm done reading, brother, what kind of breeding method do you want to hear next? Could it be that you are planning to develop a praying mantis breeding business? Asked me to read this material because you want me to be in charge of this new business? ”
Well, I have to admit that Tang Jian's idea is very perfect, so perfect that Tang Kang didn't expect it at all, and he didn't expect it to be like this?
It's nothing, but Tang Kang thinks that his younger brother should be regarded as a miracle.
"I really don't know how you got to this point!"
Tang Kang sighed with emotion, thinking that with his younger brother's character, it was estimated that no matter how much he hinted at it, it would not work.
No matter how much other nonsense you think, it won't work.
Even if he puts this matter out and says it, it is estimated that he will not believe it!
Seeing is believing!
Seeing is believing.
