"This insect usually breeds in early summer, and when I was a child, I sometimes saw this insect in the countryside by stoves, in the voids near chimneys or in cracks in walls. In recent years, due to the use of natural gas and liquefied gas and other modern kitchen equipment, this insect has become relatively rare. Mr. Feng said.

The reporter learned through the inquiry information that the living habit of the sudden stove ant is to hide in the corner gap near the stove during the day and other suitable hidden places, and come out at night to find warmth and shelter on the stove and around. It is phototropic, sometimes jumping near the light at night, feeding on the stems, fruits and leaves of plants in the wild, and rice grains and vegetable crumbs indoors. The worm has no wings, rubs and whistles on its hind legs, is not dangerous, and can be medicated. Reporter Liu Xiaomei
