No.354 A red dragon centipede

"What should I do?"

Zhang Hui has no idea now.

For a person who can eat centipedes raw, it is indeed as Li Xiaoxi said, there are probably no insects that can scare him.

Wang Mingyuan thought about it and said, "Let's get centipedes, on the one hand, Brother Li has eaten this thing, and his body should have a certain resistance, and he won't have problems easily." Second, such a fierce thing is exciting enough in itself! ”

Zhang Hui shook her head: "I'm still worried that something will happen." ”

Wang Mingyuan took a deep breath: "It's okay, his daughter Li Xiaoxi will also come with her, as a researcher at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research, she is engaged in medicinal material research, there will be a solution, she can rest assured, what are we not worried about?" ”

Having said that, Wang Mingyuan couldn't help but start looking through his phone to check the information about centipedes.

Seeing this, Zhang Hui also began to look at her phone.

There are really different opinions on the Internet about whether centipedes can be eaten, but in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, they are ingredients served on the table, and the price is not low, and ordinary people really can't eat it.

In the health column, there is also a special piece about the decoction pieces made by drying centipedes.

Moreover, there are quite a few bases dedicated to the cultivation of centipedes.

But most people believe that centipedes can't be eaten raw, because they live in dark and damp places and have a lot of bacteria on their bodies.

After flipping through the video of eating centipedes raw for a long time, Wang Mingyuan only found one, and his scalp was numb when he watched it.

Next, there is a video of the girl on Annan's side eating centipedes in the woods.

From the looks of it, both of them don't think it's a big problem.

It was determined that eating centipedes would be the content of this live broadcast.

The next morning, Zhang Hui came a little late, and what she had to do today was to go up the mountain to catch centipedes.

Neither of them knew much about the distribution of centipedes in the mountains, and they were purely trying their luck.

After all, it is now summer, and it is the time when centipedes are active, and the vegetation in the mountains is particularly well preserved, so I believe it should not be difficult to get them.

Wang Mingyuan put on a bee coat and first checked the situation in the beehive in the apiary farm when the sun was warm for ten days in the morning.

Zhang Hui followed behind, photographing the condition of the swarms of bees and sending them to the sailors who adopted the bee colonies.

The bees are in very good condition, the colony has expanded a lot, and I believe that in the autumn, there will be a very good harvest.

In the mountainous area, there is no shortage of large nectar source plants in spring and autumn, and in summer and winter, there are still good sporadic flower and grass resources to meet the basic needs of the bee colony, but there is no need to worry about the problem of the bee colony running out of food in summer, but the temperature rises and the infestation of frogs and wax borers at night.

Wax borer, a moth that enters the hive to steal honey and lays eggs on the bee's spleen.

The eggs laid by the wax borer, as they hatch and grow, will continue to eat the spleen of the bee, which is about the same size as maggots, and spits out a large number of silk threads, which is the most harmful existence of the bee colony.

There are also bee mites, which must also be prevented.

Many people say that bee mites have little impact on the bees, but in fact, this thing will not only parasitize on the bees' bodies to absorb the nutrients in the bees' bodies, but also attack the bee pupa, resulting in stunted growth, and many weak bees and dead bees, so that the swarm is weakened.

In short, insect pest control and high temperature prevention are the most important things for bee colonies in summer.

As for the hornet, it was brutally made by Wang Mingyuan last time, and the situation has improved a lot, but occasionally you can still see one or two, pay attention to the beating, and it is not a big problem.

After taking care of it, it was time for lunch.

After simply stir-frying three home-cooked side dishes, the two of them filled their stomachs, carried a plastic bucket with a lid, changed into sturdy camouflage uniforms, and went up the mountain together.

It was sunny for several days, but the mountains were still wet with deep forests.

For the first time, Wang Mingyuan noticed that in this year, the drought locusts probed their brains among the rotten leaves.

He had been poisoned by this thing, and his pants had been taken off twice for people to check, although there were not as many as in the 80s, but he had to put it up, reminding Zhang Hui to be careful to avoid it, and he himself cut a stick, leading the way, and slapping all the way.

According to the habits of the centipede, the two rummaged through some places with thick rotten leaves under the forest.

It took nearly two hours, but I found two black-backed red-footed centipedes among the rotten leaves, this thing is called Yunnan Little Red Feet, about ten centimeters, and the harvest is touching.

"It's not a way to find it!" Zhang Hui said: "If it goes on like this, it will be busy until dark, and it will be difficult to make up enough for ten, and most of them are too small." We'll have to change places. ”

Wang Mingyuan thought about it, looked up at the fiery sun through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and nodded: "Indeed, we have to change places." Centipedes are nocturnal creatures, and they are easy to see when it's cloudy, and nest in their nests on sunny days. And there will be more places where centipedes like to stay, in the crevices of stones, and rotting wood, so let's focus on these places. ”

"Good!" Zhang Hui nodded.

The two of them continued to search in the mountains, and the target was mainly in the crevices of the rocks or some scattered stone piles, and when they saw the rotten wood, they also kicked it open a few times to take a good look.

As soon as the strategy changed, the effect suddenly improved.

The two soon saw several red centipedes up to twenty centimeters long in a crack between a mountain rock surrounded by weeds.

This thing has a domineering name, called the Red Dragon Centipede.

The red dragon centipede, which is the largest centipede species in China, is distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and Yunnan, with 20 pairs of feet and strong toxicity.

The large size and toxicity create its fierce character, and it has always been a killing of small animals in the vicinity.

Even if it is against snakes, they dare to hunt.

The red dragon centipede, molting once a year, gives birth to two arthropods, and is rumored to have dug up a meter long on the construction site, but I don't know if it's true or not.

But Wang Mingyuan estimated that this was true, after all, some experts were dispatched and called it the red dragon giant centipede.

In the face of such a fierce existence, Wang Mingyuan and Zhang Hui did not dare to take it directly.

After putting on thick rubber gloves, he used a small stick to pick out the centipede from the crack in the stone and reached out to pinch it.

The centipede struggled violently, and its jaws like pliers bit on the rubber gloves.

When grabbing a centipede that escaped quickly after picking it out, when Wang Mingyuan reached out to catch it, he caught the tail of the centipede, and as a result, the goods turned around and bit Wang Mingyuan's wrist.

This is a cold sweat that Wang Mingyuan was frightened, but fortunately he reacted quickly and hurriedly shook his hand to throw the centipede out.

He didn't want to experience being bitten by a centipede.

It was from here that he began to pay attention to the proportions of his hands, pinching directly at the centipede's head, so that it could not move its mouth.

In addition, Wang Mingyuan also found a few centipedes curled up in a ball with a string of eggs on their stomachs, which he knew were the eggs laid by centipedes. This is one of the habits of the red dragon centipede, which protects the eggs until they hatch.

Encountering such a centipede, Wang Mingyuan gave up directly.

After changing places several times, the centipede caught more than forty of them, and scrambled out in the barrel, trying to escape from the red barrel, but they fell again and again, struggling and twisting together, and it was terrifying to look at.

Seeing that the number was almost up, the two turned back to the bee farm.

While Wang Mingyuan was researching how to process the centipedes, Zhang Hui was busy sending several videos to the cat's paw video.

and previewed the content of tomorrow's live broadcast: Li Jianguo, the ham king of Yun Province, challenges to eat centipedes, and it is possible to eat them alive!

Wang Mingyuan looked at the video, and really didn't know what kind of feeling Li Jianguo would feel after seeing it.
