Insect selection, insect raising, insect fighting, and insect tasting are mutually reinforcing, and the lack of one is difficult to achieve positive results. * In the four links of insect selection, insect raising, insect fighting and insect tasting, insect selection is easy to raise insects, insect raising is easy to fight insects, and fighting insects is easy to taste insects. * In terms of insect selection, because almost all the northern and southern insect friends have continued to use the old ancestor's comparative insect method, they cannot break through in quantitative terms, so after the research on insects reaches a certain level, they will encounter bottleneck problems and it is difficult to improve, forming a situation of one hundred steps and fifty steps. * Specific performance: When you turn from focusing on big prices, big heads, big teeth, and big feet to looking for flat color and flat phase in tens or hundreds of yuan, dry old, thin glutinous, and pursuing the essence, qi and spirit of insects, when you spend relatively little money and have the overall upper hand, it means that your level of playing insects has reached a considerable level. *But it is quite difficult to improve on this basis. It's not a question of IQ, effort, but because it's determined by the method of research. The nature of the worm determines that there will be no big money, high technology and large groups involved. It can only be a large sample, a small input, and the history of nearly a thousand years of playing insects is the best annotation. * In terms of fighting insects, it is mainly the bucket level, but also the bucket probability, while the level of the insect is relative and infinite. Probability is even more uncontrollable. * Throughout Qiuxing, there are countless insects, and large, medium and small insects are pagoda-shaped. The real Worm King is like the jackpot of the welfare lottery, reaching tens of millions of dollars. * It is possible that you have received a worm king for tens of yuan, a few hundred yuan, and people spend hundreds of thousands of yuan, only the whole shed of worms is better, the worm king is not, this is a very cruel, very realistic probability. * Only insect breeding can best reflect the level and skill. * Two worms fall into the fence to compete, there will be victory or defeat. Under the conditions of god, color, form, and basically similar work, the fight is to cultivate the gong. * In the state of life and death of two insects, the worm has one more bite and the worm has one less bite, which is the standard for testing the level of insect breeding. * God is full of qi and feet, flesh and pincers are old, fighting between the mouths, and serving the country loyally, which is the way to raise insects. * Early autumn food rest, Mid-Autumn with female training, late autumn to promote food insulation, for the art of insect raising. *Raising crickets depends mainly on the environment and rearing. * Cricket-catching insect lovers know that crickets like to be dry but not dry, moist and not wet and relatively quiet environment. * However, what is dry but not dry, moist and not wet, for example, a pile of soil, grasped in the hand, squeezed hard, can form a ball, thrown to the ground, will be loose. This is run. * A pile of stones or a brick wall, crickets like to hide in the part where the stone and the dirt are in contact or the part of the wall near the foot of the wall because that part is moist. *When the ground is dry and many cracks appear, crickets like to hide at the bottom of the cracks. Again, because that part runs. *This run is one of the necessary conditions for the survival of early autumn crickets. * According to this characteristic, we must create such a dry and dry, moist and not wet environment for crickets, so that it can adapt as soon as possible in such an environment that is closer to natural conditions, and survive healthily, without constantly climbing the basin to reduce food, or even jumping. *Due to differences in insect nature and differences in the bottom plate of the insect, the adaptation time of the insect to the pot will also vary. * A simple way to tell if a worm is adapted to the environment of the pot is to see if it is winged and chirping in the pot at night. As long as it can chirp, it means that the worm has adapted to the environment in the basin. *As a rule of thumb, most of the large-winged and some of the less tender insects on the bottom plate and a very small number of potted insects have poor potting, and will crawl and jump in the evening and the first half of the night, and the result is to hurt the claw flowers and jump the head. * For this part of the insect feeding, it must first remove the space and conditions for it to climb or jump. *The specific method is to use the second low basin, which is filled with the bell room or the bamboo tube with the smooth skin removed, and the cricket either enters the bell room or stands on the bell room or bamboo pipe, and its double whiskers have touched the basin cover, and there is no room to climb or jump. After one or two days, you can take the pot. *However, as far as I'm concerned, I don't like pot-climbing insects, even if it looks good. Because most of the insects that climb the pot are flat and thin insects and insects with insufficient bottom plates, it is difficult to make a difference. * Worms with large waists and thick tails and old legs on the bottom plate are unlikely to be unconscioned. But I understand that the fact that insects do not climb or jump in the basin does not mean that they are very comfortable, but only that the temperature and humidity of the basin can withstand and adapt quickly. * Just like in the past we made a cage type for insects, the worms with old feet on the bottom plate, under the light baking, did a ten o'clock, eight o'clock is no problem at all, the upper grid as usual a mouthful of a mouthful, heavy mouth frequently. The bottom plate is a little worse, a few points of moisture buckle, began to climb the pot, the grass also did not eat. The insects that often do the cage type quickly do not go long. * Why do worms not obey the pot? * In the long-term process of raising insects, I found that crickets are very sensitive to temperature and humidity, and when the temperature is high, the frequency of insect calls is high, and the temperature is low, and the frequency of insects is slow. The humidity in the basin is low, the insects will be restless, they will crawl randomly, and the insects with high humidity in the basin will feel comfortable and will raise their wings and chirp. * Typically, when we are in the place of origin, open any small jar, use grass to hit the teeth of insects, there are very few insects that do not open their mouths, because that is the nature of insects. But after a few days at home, a large number of insects no longer graze. The reason is that the temperature and humidity change after the insect changes the environment, and the discomfort and discomfort become weaker, and this phenomenon slowly improves after one to two weeks. * Also, every year there will be insects, fighting insects, due to the large number of insects, always from the morning to the afternoon, often the morning insects are very fighting, and in the afternoon, there are a considerable part of the insect bucket deterioration, which is mainly because of the convenience of carrying, large boxes for small cans, or afraid of touching crickets and taking away the basin caused. Because the environment has changed, the humidity has changed, and the insects' fighting ability has become worse. * The insects live in the ground, according to the natural conditions of autumn, hot during the day, high temperature and low humidity. The night is cool, especially in the second half of the night, the temperature is low and the humidity is high, the dew is clicking, and there is very quiet, no sound. So how to create an environment in the basin that makes the insects feel adaptable and comfortable, there must first be a large environment, that is, the room for raising insects. *Insecticide rooms that are closer to nature are preferably ventilated south-facing rooms. During the day, the windows and doors are closed and the curtains are closed, the role of which is to isolate noise and avoid direct sunlight. Create a quiet environment for insects and a space with suitable humidity. * At night, let the cool breeze blow in, and as the temperature decreases, the amount of water evaporation in the basin decreases, reaching its best state before dawn. At this time, the worms that do not accept the pot will also be quiet in this relatively comfortable environment. * Here's a question for bug lovers; have you ever seen a worm crawling in the wee hours of the morning? Why? Because the temperature in the early morning is the lowest, the humidity is the greatest. * In China, the solar terms of the lunar calendar are mainly based on the Yellow River Basin, which is quite different from the Yangtze River Basin. During the Bailu Festival, many people in Ningjin already wore cotton coats in the morning, and Shanghai shirtless shorts abounded. * The three solar terms of white dew, cold dew and frost fall mean the process and degree of temperature drop in a year, and also the evolution process of water vapor from the evaporation of summer to the slow condensation and sinking of autumn. * Crickets also live in this particular autumn when the temperature ranges from high to low and the humidity is from small to large. * With the insect environment, a good insect environment is also very important, and this so-called good insect environment is determined by the good or bad of the pots we use to raise insects. * Through observation, we found that very dry pots can not raise insects, and pots with peculiar smells can not raise insects, because we know that insects like to live in a relatively moist, cleaner, and quieter environment. *But how to create such an environment, we can pay attention to it from the three aspects of moisturizing, clean and quiet. * First of all, the problem of run, run is an adjective, not a quantifier, so it can only be used for qualitative, not quantitative. * My understanding of the pot is: raise the pot first, the pot is placed outdoors for 3 to 5 years, let the wind and rain and frost hit, but do not fill the water inside, so as not to grow algae to block the internal small space of the pot wall, thereby reducing the permeability of the pot. The microstructure of the treated basin itself will produce some changes, just like the casting in our metal materials profession, after baking and placed in the field, after a certain period of time, through the internal microstructure changes to change the internal quality or other use performance of the casting, this process is called annealing, also known as aging treatment. * I like to travel, especially in some places where the cultural heritage is more deep. A thick pulp, after hundreds of years of house pillars or stone stele, the first visual effect is run. The first thing you feel when you enter a centuries-old brick and wood house is cool, and this coolness is the best note of moisturizing. *This pillar, stone stele and old house are the product of aging treatment. * After several years of aging treatment, these internal organizational changes can play a certain role in buffering, regulating temperature and humidity. * In the process of feeding insects, with the change of temperature and humidity in the air, this aging basin can absorb temperature and dehumidify and cool down to absorb moisture for circulating heat exchange. The longer the pot lasts, the better the effect will be. * Coupled with the evaporation and rise of the water in the basin, the formation of air convection heat exchange, resulting in the effect of heating up and down, humidity and temperature will be adjusted with the working conditions of the environment. *I think crickets would feel more comfortable in an environment where temperature and humidity can be regulated. * In the natural environment, due to the large space and wide area, every insect, even if the bottom plate is poor, can find an area or space where it thinks that humidity and temperature are suitable for survival. And foraging in this particular environment, growing, reproducing, and dying. * However, in the pot the situation is very different, the insect room, the insect pot and other working conditions are ever-changing, for the worm, there is no choice, which is cruel. For the insects with a good bottom plate, the temperature and humidity of this basin are different from those in the wild, but they can still withstand it. For insects that do not adapt to the environment, they can only take the initiative to leave, and the specific manifestation is to keep climbing or jumping vigorously during a specific period of time when it thinks it is most uncomfortable. * In summary, to ensure that the insect can have a moist environment is a primary condition, the living environment is not good, the insect wants to escape all day, even if there is a mountain treasure and sea flavor, it also has no intention to enjoy, three or five days a climb, claws overturned, waist collapsed. * Second, I found that worms are very fond of cleanliness, and when I was young, I paid more attention to the grade of insects than to the feeding of insects. Sometimes when the master comes to see the worms, he will criticize: You look at what this basin looks like, the hard rice is not taken off, the water in the water bath is yellow, the cricket feces at the bottom of the basin are everywhere, such an environment, how to raise good insects, how to call the insect spirit loyal to the country, the insect fight to the critical time, the grade is not lost, but the mouth is insufficient, it is lost in the problem of one more bite and one less bite, and this one or two bites depends on the usual cultivation skills. Would you be comfortable if you were allowed to live in a hut every day, crickets are just like people, but they just can't talk. * The master's words are very reasonable, whether a worm can fight enough, whether it can be loyal to the country, although there are many factors involved, but the feeding environment is one of the important factors. * In general, crickets like to stand in a relatively clean place, it has a fixed area for, only when the worm does not accept the pot and when it just enters the basin it will anywhere, and there is a cold and, after the worm enters the basin for a period of time, the form of the it pulls changes from liquid to solid, then the worm will collect the solid feces to a non-conspicuous, unimportant place. In most areas, it looks clean and refreshing. And the worms that pull the in the rice bowl are mostly worms that do not obey the basin, are sick or have a bad bottom. * There are also those who like to bite the bottom paper, crawl in the rice bowl water bowl, claws, whiskers on the water to eat the insects that do not like to clean, jump in the basin, fall down into the water bowl to make the water splash caused by the bottom of the wet answer to the insects are basically useless insects. * I raise insects, worms into the pot to pad thick grass paper, change once a week, the effect is very good. * Thick straw paper due to thick, for the overly wet old pot and too dry new pot can play a certain role in isolation and buffering. It can also participate in the exchange of heat and cold in moisture absorption and heat preservation, and the crickets in the early autumn pot feces are mostly liquid, and the thick grass paper can play a role in absorbing liquid feces. Keeping the pot clean greatly reduces the workload of insect farming to clean the pot. *Crickets like to be clean, not only limited to the cleanliness of the environment, but also including their own cleanliness. * A few years ago in ningjin chai hu shop to catch the market, just dawn, the worm especially like to escape, I just opened the lid in front of a big mother stall, the worm took the road and fled, three times two times jumped very far, the big mother mouth while shouting, hey, run, run, while people rushed over. In a few moments, the worm was arrested and arrested. Looking at the dusty head, the big aunt said, Hey has turned into a mud monkey. By the afternoon I woke up and the mud monkey had already sorted out the mountains and waters that he had sorted out. Although there is no water in the small jar, the worm has its own way of cleaning. * We can also often see in the process of raising insects, some insects after eating and drinking enough, leisurely rationalize, scratch their heads with their front claws, wipe their faces, rub their backs with big jumps, and clear their tails. Do some cleaning on your own. *But I've never seen any crickets lying in a water bath. * From childhood to the master's house to see the insects to listen to lessons, sometimes watch the master bathe the insects, in order to prevent the insects from escaping, the master will use two paving boards to form a square with a corner of the room, the master shorts vest, sitting on the floor. A basin of water, two nets, a stack of straw paper, while washing, while appreciating, enjoying very much, I was on the periphery with the master and brother to hold the basin in and out, the worms are not allowed to touch. * The master teaches while washing, and the insect keeper should be diligent. An insect is an animal that can't speak, but it's the same as a man, it's so hot, it's sweaty, it's uncomfortable. So bathe it often, and you see how dirty the water after bathing is (with a layer of oil), how comfortable it is after bathing.... *Do crickets need to take a bath? My conclusion is that crickets do not need to bathe. * First of all, we know that crickets are afraid of water, when we catch crickets, it thinks we can't help it in the hole, in fact, a soak of urine, two tails and three tails one by one scramble to flee out, when we give insects a bath, the first reaction is to rub and bounce, escape is important. It won't be a fierce man diving into the water to enjoy a swim. * Second, the oxygen breathed by insects is the same as that of us humans, which can only be the oxygen contained in the air, and the dissolved oxygen in the water is unacceptable, and it will die due to lack of oxygen after a certain period of time in the water. *Third, what is the purpose of bathing insects? * In the natural state, the worm will not climb into the river to bathe, because it likes to moist environment, rather than the humid environment, and does not like water, this is a kind of nature, will not be easy and should not change. As for the insect being contaminated, it has an innate ability to clean enough to keep it alive. *In addition, the most important thing is that in my own long-term insect rearing process, I have never found any examples of insect breeding or denaturality due to not bathing insects. * When I was young, I wanted to ask the master, why do you want to bathe the worms, and after the worms have bathed, what substances are floating on the water? Does this substance have any effect on the survival of the insect? Give the worms a bath, press the worms in the water several times as appropriate, press one or two times, afraid that the oil on the worms can not be washed clean, press more, the worms are filled with a stomach of water, the worms on the paper tail pull water, wipe the stomach, wipe the butt busy, sometimes the back of the wings has water ulcers, the worms are even more uncomfortable. But I am afraid that the master will say that people are sad not to take a bath, and I am even more afraid that the master will say that I am sorry, such a shallow truth does not understand waiting, and that is it. * We often call the insects that have been hot and stuffy as sweating, in fact, this is the worm dehydrated at high temperatures, the performance of this type of insect is color mixing, color paste, listless, bad appetite, basic scrapping, and bathing has nothing to do with it. *In summary, since insects don't like water and can't tell what benefits bathing brings to insects, why should we bathe insects? * It seems that the mistake of taking it for granted, there are still some differences between people and insects. * Many years ago, I saw a small story told by Mr. Wang Jiyun in Shandong, a friend entrusted him to collect a batch of insects, and then because this batch of insects had osmanthus flowers, etc., he thought that the insects were relatively wet and did not want this batch of insects, and in desperation, Mr. Wang Jiyun had to stuff some food into it every day without starving to death. Unexpectedly, a large number of fierce heads appeared in this batch of insects later. * This little story caused me to think deeply, and realized two truths, first, the insects should be quiet, and second, try to fall late to the female, less female, or even not female. Practice has proved that the effect is remarkable. * My master said very early that the early autumn insects should be quietly cultivated, and they should raise claws, teeth, flesh, and essence. To see less, feed more, take a bath and do not move the grass, the master's words are very reasonable. to be continued......
