Do you know the dirt dog? The earth dog is not a dog, nor a poultry, but a small insect that has basically been seen since growing up in the countryside, and often caught him to play as a pet. The scientific name of the earth dog is mole clam, and some people call it a spicy cooing dog, water dog, etc. It is an insect of the Orthoptera family Orthoptera that is only three to 3.3 cm long and is very strangely long, gray-brown with antennae on the head and tail. Call him like a crab, only four small short legs, say he is like a cockroach, but the front legs have a pair of terrifying pincers, a bit like the feeling of mutant bugs in sci-fi blockbusters, if you magnify it tens of thousands of times, it is estimated that Godzilla is not his opponent. The earth dog is an all-round general, who can fly in the sky, run on the ground, swim in the water, and even drill underground, there is nothing he will not. It is also a phototactic insect that gathers when it sees light at night, and takes out a large 40W bulb every summer. You can tempt the mole to go up and hold it down, and then put it in your hand. The earth dog struggled desperately, kicking his small short legs hard, it seemed that his strength was not small, but he couldn't hurt people at all. Some people like to put them in the water, watch them swim, and when they have had enough, they will be trampled to death and thrown into the chicken cage to feed the chickens.
The nutritional value of local dogs is very high, rich in protein, carbohydrates and minerals, so they are discovered by foodies, fried, grilled, guillotine, as long as it is a way to eat, local dogs can not escape, taste good, some night markets began to sell local dogs, the price of this delicacy is not low, 60 to 90 yuan a pound. In addition to being able to eat, earth dog seeds also have medicinal properties. Native dogs are rare Chinese medicinal materials, and people in some places use it for medicine, so humans began to capture local dogs in large quantities. Native dogs are either killed by pesticides or caught by humans, resulting in fewer and fewer numbers. Nowadays, it is rare to see the wild. The earth dog never thought that he would be played when he was a child, and he would be eaten when he grew up, which can be said to be ill-fated.
Rural elders often say that local dogs can predict the weather, as long as they are seen crawling around in the field, it will not be long before it rains heavily. Children living in the countryside, as long as they see the earth dogs crawling around, either running home to collect clothes or going back to collect rice, the earth dogs are a weather forecaster for them. But the earth dogs who are helpful to humans are basically invisible now. When people's demand for "native dogs" is increasing, and the number of wild "native dogs" is no longer enough to meet the market demand, more and more people begin to join the ranks of artificial breeding "native dogs". And the broader the market, the higher the price. Captive-bred "native dogs" are also popular for being cleaner and safer. Merchants have a gimmick that can be publicized, and naturally begin to raise prices, and some places have even sold them at a high price of 300 yuan a pound.
