While wandering in the valley of the Liubu Forest Farm in Jinan, I found that such a device was hung on the tree next to the hiking trail at a distance.
The black lantern-like plastic shelf, a bottle at the bottom, and a bottle on the middle shelf, could it be that the birds are fed water to drink?
Look closely, the label of the bottle has this on it, it was originally used to trap the celestial cow!
Many children who grew up in the countryside have mostly caught it when they were young, tied a thin line to its legs, let it fly like a kite, and make a "hissing" sound.
The Celestial Bull is a general term for insects of the Coleoptera family, with chewing mouthparts and tentacles that often exceed the length of the body, making it look mighty.
There are many varieties of Tianniu, and according to statistics, there are more than 20,000 species in the world.
Because the celestial bull is a plant-eating insect that often harms woody plants, most pines, cypresses, willows, elms, walnuts, citrus, apples, peaches and teas, as well as some cotton, wheat, corn, sorghum, sugarcane and hemp, will be affected by it, so it is considered to be the main pest in forestry production, crop cultivation and construction wood.
The reason why the tianniu is called the tianniu is very powerful, its larvae moth the base and main root of the trunk, which seriously affects the growth and development of the tree. Adults bite into the cortex of young branches, forming dead shoots.
Over the years, people have tried many ways to eliminate the Tianniu, and the conventional prevention and control is mainly drug spraying, artificial hunting, etc., but it seems that they are not very effective, this is not, there is this new "weapon"!
