If you want to know more about the three rural areas, please click the above two words "Attention", thank you! The theme shared today: looks like a praying mantis, eats tens of thousands of mosquitoes a year, is eaten as a delicacy, fried and crunchy!
Children living in rural areas should have such memories, especially after the 70s and 80s, in their childhood, most of the things they played every day were made from the wild, such as gyroscopes, which are made of wool chestnuts, such as fishing rods, and cut a long and straight thin bamboo on the mountain. There are also some insects or weeds, which have also become children's toys, like dog tail grass, plush to take to tickle is particularly comfortable, like a cockroach, put up in a cage, happy to play with it tirelessly.
People know that most of the insects such as cockroaches and grasshoppers live on land, few insects live in water, but the world is so wonderful, there will always be yin and yang balance, all things are relatively born, since there are insects living on land, then there must be insects living in the water, such as the insects that Xiaobian wants to talk about today, it is living in the water, looks like a praying mantis, eats tens of thousands of mosquitoes a year, is eaten as a delicacy, fried and crunchy!
What are insects that love to eat mosquitoes and can be eaten as delicacies? Some people think of it as a frog, but it is not an insect, but an animal, this insect is called a water ant (Chai), which is also commonly known as "water scorpion" and "water beggar" in the countryside.
Water dragonfly is a general term for insect insects of the insect order Dragonfly, the body color is generally dark brown or dark green, it likes to live in the cave in the water, during the day it hides in the cave to sleep, in the evening it comes out to feed, creeping on the stump leaves on the water, waiting for the arrival of mosquitoes.
It can be seen that the waterfly is a beneficial insect that is beneficial to crops, many people do not know the waterfly, in fact, it is not accurate, everyone knows the dragonfly, and the waterfly is the larvae produced by the dragonfly, like people often say "dragonfly point water", not dragonflies love to play, in fact, dragonflies in the water to lay eggs, breed offspring, eggs in the water to develop into waterflies.
Water bugs to eat plankton and small bugs as food, in the summer, mosquitoes are particularly infested, so water bugs in the summer mainly to eat mosquitoes for a living, according to expert estimates, a water bug to eat tens of thousands of mosquitoes a year, to eat more than 10 pounds of plankton, so some people jokingly called water bugs as "mosquito control experts".
Although the water ant is a mosquito-eating insect, for some foodies, they feel that the water lice is a very delicious food, contains high protein, is a very nutritious insect, so it is often eaten as a delicacy, fried crunchy, although Xiaobian has not tasted, but heard foodies say that it is crunchy and crunchy, there is an urge to taste.
