Look at the answer.

It's mid-July, and the village is celebrating the National Day tonight. When the children danced around the happy bonfire, when the drums sounded with the fireworks, I was alone in the dark corner, listening to the festival concert in the field, and the program in the field was more solemn than it was in the village square at this time.

It is late at night. It's cooler at 9 pm, and cicadas stop chirping. It sings all day and should rest at night, but its rest is often disturbed. Among the dense branches and leaves of the buttonwood tree, a short and sharp cry like a whine suddenly appeared. This is the desperate cry of cicadas caught by the wild hunter green slug during a quiet rest at night.

Let's stay away from the noise and listen quietly. While the caught cicada was still struggling, the program on the treetop of the buttonwood continued, but the chorus had changed. Now it's the night artist's turn. People with sensitive ears can hear grasshoppers whispering among the green leaves around the jungle. Like the sound of a pulley, it's inconspicuous, and it's like the faint rustle of dry wrinkled film. In this dumb and persistent bass, there will be a very sharp and quick crisp sound from time to time, almost like the sound of metal collision. This is the singing and music part of Guoguo, and the rest are backup singers. Although the bass of the song has been strengthened, the concert is unremarkable and very unremarkable. Although there are more than a dozen slugs singing in my ear, their voices are not strong, and not all of my eardrums can capture this weak voice. However, when frogs and other insects in the field are temporarily quiet, the little songs I can hear are very soft, which is very suitable for the quiet atmosphere of endless nights. Lvguo, if you play the piano louder, you are a better singer than cicada. In the north of our country, people let cicadas usurp your reputation!

In June, I caught many male and female slugs and kept them in my metal net cover. This kind of insect is beautiful. It is green all over, with two pale white ribbons on the side. It has a beautiful figure, slim and symmetrical, and its wings are as light as yarn. As for food, I have the same trouble as feeding cats. I gave them lettuce leaves, and they ate a little, but they didn't like it. I must find another kind of food. They may want fresh meat, but what is it?

Early in the morning, I walked in front of the door. Suddenly something fell on the buttonwood tree next to me, making a harsh squeak. I ran over there. It was a slug pecking at the cicada's stomach in despair. I see, the battle took place in a tree, when the cicada was still resting in the morning. Unfortunately, the cicada was killed alive. Suddenly, the attacker and the attacked fell from the tree together. Sometimes, I even see slugs bravely jump up and chase cicadas, while cicadas fly away in panic. Like an eagle chasing larks in the sky. But this carnivorous bird is not as good as an insect, and it is weaker in attack, while slugs attack animals much bigger and stronger than themselves. There is no doubt about the results of this hand-to-hand combat of different sizes. Guo Guo has powerful jaws and sharp pliers, but it is rare that he can't gut the prisoners, because cicadas have no weapons to refute, so they can only moan and kick.

I found the prisoners' food in my cage, and I fed them cicadas. They ate this dish with relish, so that in two or three weeks, the cage was full of skulls and sternum, torn wings and broken limbs. My stomach was completely eaten, which is a good part. Although there is not much meat, it seems particularly delicious. Because in this part, in the crops, there is a pile of syrup sweet juice that cicadas suck from twigs with their beaks. Cicada's belly is more popular than other parts. Is it because of this sweet food? That's about it.

In order to change the food pattern, I also gave Guoguo a very sweet fruit: some pears, some grapes and some watermelons. They all like to eat these. Just as English people love bloody steak with jam, green slugs love sweets. Perhaps this is why it eats its stomach first after catching cicadas, because it has both meat and sugar.

You can't eat cicada slough with sugar everywhere, you have to eat something else. For scarab and other insects, it accepted without hesitation and only ate wings, head and claws.

All this shows that Guoguo likes to eat insects, especially those without too hard armor. It likes meat very much, but it doesn't only eat meat like mantis. This cicada's butcher fruit, after eating meat and drinking blood, eats the sweet pulp of fruit, sometimes there is nothing delicious, and even a little grass.

There is also the phenomenon of cannibalism. It is true that in my cage, I have never seen the cruelty of killing my sister and swallowing my husband like a mantis, but if a slug dies, the living will never miss the opportunity to taste its corpse, just like eating ordinary prey. This is not because of lack of food, but because of gluttony for dead companions.

Aside from this, Guoguo gets along well with each other, never quarrels, but is a little hostile to food at most. I threw a pear and a slug caught it at once. If someone bites this delicious food, it will kick the other person away out of jealousy. Selfishness is everywhere. Give way to another slug when you are full, and then you become tolerant. In this way, one by one, all slugs can taste delicious food. When the crops are full, it scratches the soles of its feet with the tip of its beak, wipes its face and eyes with its saliva-stained claws, and then closes its eyes or lies on the beach to digest food. They rest most of the day, especially in hot weather.
