Ant Feather, witty. Yi'er descendants, Zhen Zhenxi.
Ant feathers, grasshoppers. Descendants of Yi'er, the rope is tight.
Ant Feathers, Whips. Yi'er's descendants, stinging.
The above is the fifth part of the "Poetry Classic, Guofeng Zhounan", these few words of the circle of circles, in fact, have one meaning: the grasshopper spreads its wings, the hissing and hissing, your descendants are really so many, the generations are extended... This expresses the urgent mood of our Chinese ancestors to pray that "there are many descendants and many words."
Whether the direct translation of the grasshopper into the grasshopper is accurate, the brick family does not seek to understand, nor does he bother to check. But we should know that the term "ant" now refers to a large number of species of the orthoptera ceratophylla, and the grasshopper is only a species of the genus Aster, Gampsocleis gratiosa.
Among the orthoptera insects, except for a small handful of slightly evil ones such as caddisflies and trolls, most of them are loyal and pure, at least it looks like the heavenly court is full of squares, and the grasshopper locusts belong to this category. Grasshoppers and locusts are somewhat similar, but the difference between the two is also obvious, first look at the antennae: locusts have short, thick and stiff antennae, while grasshoppers (and other grasshoppers) are slender and ethereal.

In the "Vase Flower Collection", it is said that the grasshopper is "like a grasshopper and fat", and the body length of the grasshopper may not be comparable to that of the cotton locust, but the body is strong and powerful, and the female is better than the male. However, its wings have "birth defects". The average orthopteran insect, such as the cotton locust, "has long, narrow, leathery forewings... The hindwings are folded fan-shaped longitudinal folds under the forewings", while the forewings of the grasshoppers are degenerate, and the hindwings are shorter and cannot cover the body, while the females have only wing buds, basically "in and out of the skirt".
Don't look at the short wings of the grasshopper, short and short, the reason why the grasshopper is widely popular is due to the short wings. Whenever the male grasshopper courtship, it will rub against each other with the sound file and scraper on the short wing. It is this sound of "grasshoppers" that makes grasshoppers enter poetry and paintings, winning two thousand years of clean reputation. Perhaps this is the source of the elegance of the "elegant grasshopper".
The advantages and disadvantages of the sound of grasshoppers have been discussed by the former sages. In general, people do not like sharp and high-frequency sounds, preferring low, powerful, thick and soothing tones, called "screaming". How to describe it? If the former is equivalent to Stringer Rile, the latter is Xu Xiaofeng. In fact, the brick family can not hear it, raised when I was a child, I can give face a few shouts, even if it is good, what bicycle do you want?
As we all know, the call of male grasshoppers is used to seduce sisters, not to please humans. Female grasshoppers rely on large long legs... On the hearing device to identify the sounds of the same kind, and then choose their favorite little brother. In addition to the degenerated wings and the naked carcass, the female also has a feature of dragging a slender sexy egg layer behind her..... The male grasshopper sings with its ukulele, waiting for the girl in its mind.
After confirming the call, it is the right worm; and then of course it is the round house hemi, which works together for the pleasure of flying. This series of tedious processes are all for the purpose of selecting high-quality genes, in order to "adapt their descendants, revitalization", the purpose is very strong, not like human beings are busy in vain and busy... The eggs of grasshoppers are laid in the mud, and their spawning process is quite strange. Before spawning, the female grasshopper uses the spawner to make a piston movement against the soil, and the land is loosened before laying eggs.

The elegant grasshopper is a grasshopper in the general sense, also known as the short-winged grasshopper or short-winged songhopper because of its short wings. Have short wings and no long wings? There is also a dark brown grasshopper (Gampsocleis sedakovii) that is more common in the north, as shown above. This insect has long wings and a very unpleasant sound, and is generally called "squeak". In the absence of grasshoppers, it is also possible to be stiff, and it is better to talk than nothing.
The grasshoppers sold on the market are, of course, mainly elegant grasshoppers. Autumn has arrived, the time is not waiting, if you have a yaxing that enjoys playing with songbirds, you may wish to get one. If properly reared, it can survive the winter, and by the second year of Qingming, it can still be "moths". Remember, grasshoppers are omnivorous insects, and should not only be fed fruits and vegetables, but also with meat and vegetables.
