If you walk around the park, open the back of the leaf and take a look, it will occasionally surprise you: there are a lot of emojis on this leaf that are smiling at you.
If you look closely, you will find that this is actually the eggs of the bugs, the two small dots that resemble the eyes of the bugs that have not yet broken the shell, and the black line that resembles the mouth of the smiling smile is the tool they use to break the shell, called the egg breaker, similar to the eggs and teeth of birds and reptiles.
Bugs are a common insect in our family, belonging to the insect family, the winged suborder, the hemiptera, the heteroptera, and the family Bugs. Most of them suck on plant sap and are agricultural pests. Their eggs range from white to pale green, and generally a dozen to dozens of grains are gathered together, and they will show a smile-like expression when they are about to hatch.
The main varieties are green bugs, tea wing bugs, lychee bugs and nine incense worms that can be used in medicine. Let's take a look.
Green bugs (scientific name: Nezara viridula Linnaeus), mainly harmful to rice, citrus, solanaceous plants, legumes and so on
Tea wing bug (scientific name: Halyomorpha halys), is what we often call pear tsubaki elephant, stinky big sister.
The text we learned when we were young, The Yellow Oriole and the, has a description of this insect.
A flew in and landed on a nearby tree, swallowing a piece of bark-like thing. The little yellow oriole cried out in amazement: Aunt, how do you eat the bark! ”
"Child, you don't know. This is not bark, it's pear tree elephants. They suck on juice and suck it up! When the finished, she took another pear elephant and went to feed her child.
A month passed, and the little yellow oriole and the little grew up. They flew around in the leafy fruit groves, following their mothers to catch pests.
In autumn, the fruit trees are full of fruit. A gust of wind blew through, and the red begonias and the yellow pears all nodded lightly, thanking the yellow orioles and.
It can be seen that this insect is very harmful to fruit trees. The bugs are still quite cute before they break their shells, and after they break their shells, they are not like that.
Please be mentally prepared
Studies have shown that the larvae of bugs break their shells at the same time, mainly to allow more larvae to survive.
Because the larvae of bugs have a habit of eating eggs that have not hatched to replenish their nutrition, if they break their shells late... Then it is likely that the remaining larvae will not have a chance to break the shell again.
So how do these larvae ensure that they break their shells at the same time? Is it a creature? Or temperature?
In fact, it is very simple, it is vibration. When the first larva comes out of the egg, a vibration of a specific frequency is produced. When other nearby larvae feel this vibration, they immediately begin to break their shells.
In order to test this hypothesis, scientists have done a lot of experiments and found that these eggs are basically hatched at the same time when they are next to each other. But if the distance between the eggs is far away and the other larvae do not feel the vibration of the broken shell, there is no such phenomenon.
So distance produces beauty, and that's true for these larvae.
Lychee bugs (scientific name: Tessaratoma papillosa), which mainly harm lychees and longan, are more common in the south. Nymphs are very beautiful, but be careful that its urine has a certain corrosiveness, if the eyes are accidentally sprayed into the eyes by its urine when picking fruit, it will cause damage to the eyes, resulting in redness, eye pain, burning sensation, conjunctival edema and other discomforts.
The nine-spiced insect, known as the melon black bug (scientific name: Coridius chinensis), is somewhat similar to the tea-winged bug, but without spots.
In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is recorded that the nine incense worms are produced in the Wei chishui River in Yongning, Guizhou. Big as a small finger, shaped like water, blue and black. In the winter, it lies under the stone, and after the sting, it flies out, and it is not available. Therefore, Li Shizhen said it: salty and warm, non-toxic, rational qi and pain relief, warm aphrodisiac, "long service benefits people", "natives take more to fill people".
The "Dictionary of Chinese Medicine" contains: Nine incense worms have significant curative effects on neurotic stomach diseases, heartache caused by mental depression, spleen and kidney weakness, waist and knee weakness, impotence, enuresis and other symptoms.
There is a local saying that rich people eat deer antler velvet, and poor people eat stink bugs.
After experimenting on mice with impaired reproductive system, it was found that testicular damage in mice injected with the solution of the worm heliopa was significantly repaired and improved.
The local people also use nine incense worms to cook, which is said to taste similar to coriander, and I really admire these people who dare to explore food.
brief summary
There are many species in the family Bugs, and most plant-fed bugs secrete a pungent-smelling liquid, so when we encounter them, we should pay attention to our own protection. Don't be fooled by their smiles.
