How to preserve the egg branches of golden cicada

The time for golden cicadas to lay eggs is around August every year. It is very important to collect the egg branches of golden cicadas during their reproduction. We usually use Bai La strips (a perennial plant of Vitex negundo, poplar strips, and other trees that have not been polluted by pesticide spraying) as the egg branches of golden cicadas! )

The wild cicada, after laying eggs on the new branches of that year, can usually see the withered and dead egg branches in a few hours. Seeing some punctured bark on the branches shows that cicadas have laid eggs. If not, it means that some branches died naturally, without golden cicada eggs!

The golden cicada egg branches collected in that year were manually pruned, collected and sorted, and then preserved. Eggs in winter are in diapause. At this time, the tolerance to low temperature is about MINUS 20 degrees. In winter, there is no rain and snow, it is-10 degrees, and no eggs die. So we just need to put the eggs indoors. We are going to use it next year. After April 20 next year, the temperature tends to be stable and the rainfall increases slowly, entering the incubation period of golden cicada eggs. This period is crucial, and it is necessary to observe the state of cicada eggs every day. Spray water regularly to moisturize. In order to achieve our ideal hatching success rate,
