What is this thing?
Also known as golden cicada, crawling fork, grasshopper, cicada, cicada, cicada, cicada, cicada, cicada, cicada, cicada, cicada, cicada, cicada, cicada, cicada. Summer becomes cicada.
Crawler: Also known as golden cicada, crawling monkey, crawling fork, grasshopper, old monkey (cicada), cicada monkey (cicada monkey), cicada monkey, cicada turtle and cicada monkey, it is known as golden pimple and Tang monk meat. Reptiles know monkeys.
Cicada larva, yellowish brown or reddish, covered in mud, good at crawling. They lurk underground with many trees and live by sucking the sap from the roots. When night falls in summer, grasshoppers emerge from soft soil, climb onto tree trunks or grass tips and become cicadas.
The larval stage of cicada is called cicada monkey, cicada monkey or cicada turtle. The largest cicada is 4~4.8 cm long and its wings are dark brown at the base. It is harmful for trees to crow loudly in summer, and it is harmful for trees to suck tree juice with acupuncture mouthparts. Larvae inhabit the soil to suck root juice. The shell of cicada can be used as medicine.
Cicada is a large herbivorous insect, usually about four or five centimeters long. Their needle-like hollow mouths can pierce trees and suck sap. There are also different kinds of cicadas with similar shapes and different colors. Cicada has three less sensitive eye spots between its eyes and a simple supporting tubule on its wings. These are the primitive characteristics of ancient insect populations.
The high note in the cicada family is a cicada called "double drummer". There are large ring-shaped vocal organs on both sides of its body, and a disk that can be opened and closed inside and outside is in the middle of its body. The opening and closing speed of the disc is very fast, which is the reason for shaking cicada. This sound lacks change, but it is much louder than the call of the jungle canary.
Cicadas spend the first two or three years of their lives underground, maybe longer. In the meantime, it sucks liquid from the roots. Then one day, I broke out of the ground and found a tree to climb with my instinct to survive. After several years of slow growth, cicada pupa climbed out of the ground as an energy storage body. Its front paws for digging holes can also be used for climbing.
When black cracks appear on the back of cicada pupa, the molting process begins. Molting is controlled by hormones. The front legs of the cicada pupa are hooked, so that when the adult comes out of the empty shell, it can be firmly hung on the tree. It is very important that the cicada pupa must face the tree vertically. This is for the normal development of adult wings, otherwise the wings will be deformed. Cicada, based on the pupa shell, slowly releases itself, just like climbing out of a pair of armor. The whole process takes about an hour.
When the cicada's upper body is free, it spreads its wings upside down. At this stage, cicadas' wings are very soft, and they spread them through body fluids. The body fluid tube spreads its wings by the pressure of liquid. When the liquid is pumped back into the cicada, the spread wings have become hard. If the cicada is disturbed in the process of spreading its wings, it will be disabled for life and may not be able to fly at all.
In Shawan, Xinjiang, cicadas were unearthed in a different way from what everyone knows. For example, in the Central Plains, cicada pupae crawl out of the ground at dusk or just at night, find a place to attach small trees or other plants, and then start molting. In Shawan, cicadas come out of the ground at the hottest time at noon and look for small shrubs nearby to climb up. When it first came out of the ground, it was light yellow and very small. At noon, the sun is very strong, and the color of cicada turns black on the bush. After it is completely dark, it can spread its wings and fly away. So there are two differences, one is time, which is commonly known as dusk or night, while it is noon in Xinjiang; Another point is that cicadas in Xinjiang have no shells when they are unearthed.
Suction folding
Whenever cicadas are thirsty and hungry, they always use their hard mouthparts-a slender hard tube, stick their mouths into the trunk to suck the juice all day, and suck a lot of nutrients and water into their bodies to prolong their life.
Vocal fold
Most North American cicadas make rhythmic ticking or purring, but some kinds of cicadas have beautiful sounds. The cicada that can sing is a male cicada. Its vocal organ is at the base of the abdomen, covered with an eardrum like a drum. The eardrum vibrates and makes a sound. Because the vocal cord muscles can expand and contract about 65,438+0,000 times per second, and the gap between the cover plate and the eardrum can play a role of * * *, its singing is particularly loud. And you can sing in different tones in turn. The female cicada is a "dumb cicada" because her musical instrument structure is incomplete and she can't make a sound.

Cicada is a male cicada, and its vocal organ is at the base of the abdomen. Male cicadas keep chirping every day, not to lure female cicadas to mate. They can't hear their own "songs".
The voice of the male cicada is like a beautiful music to the female cicada. After mating and fertilization, female cicadas stab a row of small holes in the branches with sword-shaped ovipositor tubes and lay eggs in the small holes. A few weeks later, the male cicada and the female cicada died one after another. Why do male cicadas bark? It turns out that the two small disks on the cicada's stomach are called sound masks, and there is a transparent membrane inside the sound masks, which is actually the sound made by the valves. People use a megaphone to amplify the sound, and the sound shield is equivalent to the cicada's megaphone contracting back and forth to amplify the sound, and it will make a cry of "Zizi, Zizi", which will be called a male cicada, so there is no sound shield and valve on the female cicada's stomach.
Cicada has two pairs of membranous wings with very hard veins. When cicadas rest, their wings always cover their backs. Cicada rarely flies freely, and only flies from tree to tree when it is foraging or disturbed. Interestingly, cicadas can suck juice through straws and sing with musical instruments at the same time. Eating and singing do not interfere with each other. The chirping of cicadas can predict the weather. If cicada sings loudly at the end of the tree very early, it will tell people that it is very hot today.

Mid-late June (from summer to around) to early August (around autumn) is the best season for field harvest, and the weather is most concentrated in early July or after rain. If an insect (cicada turtle) digs a hole with a pair of serrated front feet in the wet and soft ground, it will move briefly on the ground after climbing out of the ground, and then prepare to shed its shell on the trunk or scaffolding next to the fan, and it will emerge into a cicada at 4~6 o'clock the next morning. You can shine with a flashlight, you can catch it on the ground and the trunk under the tree at night, or you can catch it on the tree in the early morning.
In the production season, the collected fresh larvae are washed with clear water, and the sediment is removed, and each box is 50g. The nymphs (cicada turtles) in the box are submerged with water and stored in the refrigerator. It can be processed and utilized after re-cleaning. The preservation methods of nymphs (cicada turtles) include long-term preservation such as freezing or pickling, short-term preservation such as soaking in water, soaking in light salt water or natural preservation after excavation.
When eating, you can put a proper amount of peanut oil in the pot after it is hot. After the oil is boiled, put the cicada turtle in the pot, fry it with slow fire, put it on a plate, sprinkle a little fine iodized salt and eat it while it is hot. It tastes particularly fresh and tender. The processing method of cicada after removing wings is the same as that of cicada turtle.
As an important traditional ingredient, cicada slough has antibacterial, cold-dispelling, sedative and diuretic effects.
It should be a dead reptile with abnormal development and deformity.
