Preface
Recently, an insect called "Cryptoptera" suddenly swiped the screen in the circle of friends, not because of its peculiar appearance, but because its bite will have certain harm, and may even lead to burns. I believe that many people are no stranger to this insect, it often appears in the summer where we live, especially in the early morning or dusk after rain, and the number is particularly large, if you are not careful, you will be bitten by it. So, what kind of insect is Cryptoptera? What harm does its bite bring us? And how to effectively prevent and deal with it? Next, let's uncover the mystery of Cryptoptera and learn to live in harmony with it.
1. Get to know Cryptoptera
Cryptoptera, as the name suggests, is an insect that folds its wings on the side of its body while resting, so that it is impossible to see the wings from the outside. Its scientific name is "longhorn", it is a kind of bird, insect animal, there are many kinds of cryptoptera, according to statistics, there are more than 63,000 species of cryptoptera known in the world, it can be said that it is a huge family. The larvae of cryptoptera are mostly carnivorous and like to feed on decaying plants or other insects, while adults mainly feed on pollen, dew, etc., and also have a certain effect on plant pollination.
Cryptoptera has a special activity time, generally in the early morning and dusk these two time periods are more active, and their activities are also affected by the weather, most like to come out in the early morning or dusk after the rain to forage or mate and breed, so we can often see them on the grass and leaves at this time.
2. The harm of cryptopteryx
Although the cryptoptera itself is not aggressive and generally does not bite people easily, its bite hides a certain amount of harm. If this venom comes into direct contact with the skin, it will cause a local burning reaction, with symptoms such as edematous erythema, papules, blisters, and even scars in severe cases, bringing pain and discomfort to the victim.
Therefore, once you are bitten by cryptopterus, you must not be careless, and take effective treatment methods in time to avoid venom from continuing to cause damage to the skin.
3. How to effectively prevent and deal with cryptoptera bites
1. Pay attention to the cleanliness of indoor and outdoor environments
Cryptoptera generally hides in grass, leaves, and soil, so in summer, we should pay special attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the indoor and outdoor environment, often tidy up and clean the flowers and plants at home, do not let them have a chance, and at the same time clean up the weeds in the yard in time, keep the lawn trimmed and tidy, which can effectively reduce the breeding and reproduction of the cryptoptera.
2. Pay attention to personal protection
In summer, especially in the season when cryptoptera is more active, it is best to wear long-sleeved clothes when going out to avoid direct exposure to the skin, and at the same time, you can also install screens indoors to prevent insects such as cryptoptera from flying into the room and biting people.
3. Learn the right way to deal with it
If you are accidentally bitten by a cryptoptera, you must not panic, you must take the correct treatment method in time, first of all, you can stick the bite site with tape, drag the cryptoptera out, do not pat directly with your hands, so as not to squeeze the venom, and then thoroughly clean the bite site with water or alkaline soapy water, and then you can properly apply some anti-inflammatory and anti-itching ointment, if there is an allergic reaction or pain and discomfort, you must seek medical attention in time.
4. Enhance self-protection awareness
In addition to cryptoptera, there are many other insects in summer, such as mosquitoes, flies, bees, etc., they will also inject venom into the human body when they bite people, bringing certain harm to the human body, so in summer, we must enhance our sense of self-protection, do not directly slap these insects with your hands, you can properly spray mosquito repellent when you go out, check whether there are these insects on the bed before going to bed, avoid being bitten, and at the same time do not throw away garbage indoors and outdoors, so as not to attract these insects.
Through the understanding of the cryptoptera, we can better prevent and deal with its bites, and at the same time, we can realize that when we come into contact with various insects, we should maintain a sense of awe and respect every life in nature, so that we can better live in harmony with this colorful natural environment.
