Introduction: The "good helper" of agriculture, cryptopteroptera, venom like sulfuric acid, fell on the skin do not be careless.
Cryptopterynhoea is a common insect in the field or in the village, the reason why it is called cryptoptera, is because its wings are hidden when not flying, so it is called cryptoptera, which is also a major feature of cryptoptera.
First, the characteristics of cryptopteryx
Speaking of cryptoptera, everyone may still be more abstract about this insect, but presumably it is no stranger to ants, the appearance of cryptoptera is actually very similar to large ants, and it also has the ability to fly, so it is usually called "flying ants" in rural areas. Many people do not know the name Cryptopteryx, so it is also appropriate to call it "flying ants" according to its appearance.
There are many species of cryptoptera, it is said that there are tens of thousands of species, the general form is similar, that is, there are differences in the color of the signs, some are black, and some are also mixed with other colors, especially the more toxinous cryptoptera, the color is more vivid.
Cryptopteryx is very widely distributed, usually we have all seen it, but we don't care too much about such a small bug, but once we have eaten its loss, we know how powerful this non-amazing-looking bug is.
In fact, cryptoptera is not completely a pest, many species are actually "good helpers" in agricultural production, because some cryptoptera feed on pests on crops, it can help farmers eliminate some pests, is a natural enemy of a variety of pests, so cryptoptera is still a beneficial insect to agriculture.
Second, the cryptopteral insect body fluid is poisonous, do not be careless after falling on the body, can only drive away can not be killed
Although cryptoptera is not all pests, some cryptoptera venom is like sulfuric acid, once it contaminates people's skin, it will cause damage to the skin, causing inflammation and bringing pain to people.
But cryptoptera generally does not take the initiative to attack people, most of its venom is hidden in the body, only when its body breaks the liquid, it has greater toxicity, contaminated skin can not be treated in time, usually will cause dermatitis, so when found that there are cryptoptera falling on everyone's skin, do not hit it at will.
So when you find that a cryptopteropter has fallen on you, how to deal with it? We can blow air on it with our mouths, or take something to drive it away, and we must not slap it like a mosquito, if so, it is likely to cause skin inflammation.
Even if the cryptopterynge is not broken and flows out of the liquid, it also has a small amount of toxicity on the body, which will cause discomfort to the skin, so where the cryptoptera crawls, it is best to wash it many times with soap to avoid the residue of cryptoptera venom.
Third, the characteristics of the life of cryptopteryx
Cryptopteryx has a wide variety of species, feeding habits are also more complex, although some cryptopterystia species feed on pests, but also some cryptoptera are edible plants or other humus, they usually like to live in a relatively humid environment, daily will be in the grass or rotten debris where there is activity or hiding.
Cryptopterynges also have a certain degree of phototropism, when there is a light at night, usually it will cause cryptoptera to fly over, and it is also easiest to find cryptoptera gathering under the lights at night, so when the summer is outdoors to cool off or play mobile phones, you need to pay special attention to avoid having cryptopters fall on the body, subconsciously to beat it, once the cryptoptera is broken on the body, then the back may suffer.
Note: June to September of each year is the season of cryptoptera, after October, it will gradually decrease, so this time to go to outdoor activities especially pay attention to, find or feel the skin bare parts of the insects, do not easily go to the patting, first check what bugs are, and then make a decision to deal with.
The brightly colored cryptoptera illustrated in the text is more toxic, please remember what it looks like, and avoid it in life.
