In the darkness of the night, the sound of "chirping and chirping" came from the kitchen in the country, which was a sonata in the night and a symphony; because there was the scream of the textile lady in the night sky, even the night cicadas came to join in the fun, and from time to time there were a few singing, and the frogs in the pond rose and fell, and the aria of the owl came in the distance.
The sky is full of stars, decorating this stage. The dim moonlight reluctantly cast the shadows of the trees in the courtyard. I sat alone at the stone table, there was no light, and the red wine in the glass could not see the color, so I sat quietly, quietly enjoying the bustle, thinking of nothing...
Just after the summer, a first-year nymph of the stove chicken broke through the soil and hung upside down on the plant and began to molt for the first time. They molt several times to become adults, and mature after 3-5 days after the last molt.
Soon, the mature stove chicken will be scattered throughout the field grass, soil gaps, stone crevices, tree holes, looking for their love. Chickens that spend the winter in the kitchen will also join this courtship journey.
Stove chicken, also known as stove horse, camel ant, and trichom, is an insect of the order Orthoptera cave borer family. They often haunt the crevices between stoves and debris piles, feeding on leftovers, plants and small insects.
It is slightly smaller than a cricket, looks like a mixture of crickets and crickets, has an earthy yellow, rounded head, degenerates and disappears hindwings, has thin and short forewings, and a hunchback, making it more visible as a camel. It has long hind legs, is good at jumping, and can make a "chirping" song, which is very pleasant.
I only know that the stove chicken is not a chicken, and as for why it was given this name, I have to ask Adam, because he was the first person in the world, and all animals are his name.
Stove chickens like to live in the kitchen, and they can often be seen on the stove top where the pot is cooked, especially on the earth stove in the countryside. When the weather is warm, they like to crawl outside the stove, leaving a trail of inconspicuous traces when crawling, which is the "horse trace" in the idiom "clue". So it has another name called Stove Horse. In winter, the chickens will hide in the cracks of the stove for warmth. They live in a stove, and that's probably why they call it a stove chicken.
Drying the whole worm of the stove chicken is a good Chinese medicine. It tastes spicy, salty and warm, and enters the lungs and spleen. Mashing the external compress can cure bamboo thorns into the flesh, and has the effect of removing thorns and reducing swelling.
I've tried the effect of prickling and swelling, and it's really good.
I don't remember a proverb in any place where there was such a saying - cockroach with stove chicken, a good couple. It means that ugliness and ugliness are not mutually exclusive.
In fact, cockroaches and stove chickens can't become husband and wife, and I don't think they are ugly. But cockroaches and stove chickens are regulars in the kitchen. The stove chicken seems to be able to bring a breath of life to the stove house, and as for the cockroaches, it is another matter...
