In the previous mammal taxonomic system, there were two orders named after food: one is carnivorous, like cats, dogs and dogs, all belong to this order; the other is the insectivorous order, including hedgehogs, moles, shrews and other small animals. Until the emergence of the evil molecular biology, the inherent sequence was quietly broken.

Based on DNA sequencing and analysis, the classification has changed dramatically. The carnivorous order Tim Ting was imported and re-incorporated into the genus of marine predators such as sea lion seals and walruses, listed as a pinniped suborder. The insectivorous order, on the other hand, was found to be a polyphyte and was brutally divided. Some insectivors, like carnivorous orders, are classified as suborder Lauyas (Shrews and Hedgehogs), while the other part belongs to the General Order of African Mammals (like Shrews and African Hedgehogs), while individuals such as tree shrews belong to the general order Primates (Tree Shrews) as well as humans. Of the four newly established general orders of the suborder Euphrasia, only the heteroarticular order has not been infiltrated by the proto-insectivore order.
There is a way that "it is easy to divide, gather and gather, love and hate for eternity", not to mention that juju is "the fault of the world", divided into "causes and effects passed down in past lives", and DNA is the "cloud-turning rain hand after the face of earthly transformation". Since then, "each of them is well, forgotten in the rivers and lakes", there is no longer the name of "insectivorous order" in this rolling red dust, leaving only a faint whisper following their legends.
There is so much "long breath" in the air, is it related to the theme of this article? Not really. Only because "insectivores" are also stained with the word "insectivore", by the way. This is like the reason why "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" became the ending song of the TV series "Bao Qingtian" is only because the last sentence "In the human world is already epilept, why bother to go to the blue sky, it is better to sleep with gentleness" There is also "green sky". In detail, my degree of nonsense is much inferior.

Well, let's get to the point. It is said that the insect family is extremely prosperous, not only has many species, the crown of the animal kingdom, but also widely distributed, it can be said that there are places in the underground water in the sky (it seems that there is no seawater). Coupled with the fact that those insects are not insects, they form an extremely large food resource, can they turn a blind eye? As a result, insect-feeding or by-food mammals abound, including primates, and are by no means limited to species of proto-carnivorous order. Can't beat the tiger, leopard, jackal, bully a worm jackal is still hand to hand. In fact, many people will consciously or unconsciously eat many "worms".
For example, if someone likes to eat bayberry, or likes to drink bayberry wine, pay attention to the above picture! A bayberry has a vintage wine bug that has been sleeping for many years, and it can get off the stomach without paying attention. This is not only the case of bayberry, for example, citrus cherries also have fruit fly larvae. The so-called "Buddha's temple is a bowl of water, forty-eight thousand worms", even in the chocolate there are insect corpses, bugs are everywhere, you can't hide. Can't get away with it? Quite simply, pretend not to see or not know. You see it or not, it's all there, just eat it.
Moreover, the history of "insectivivation" of our people has a long history, not to mention that Tang Taizong swallowed locusts in anger for the sake of locust plague, even if it dates back to the pre-Qin era, there are relevant records. In the "Zhou Li", there is: "Sacrifice, co-conspire, win, and oysters, in order to grant people." These two things, "cockroaches and cockles", seem to refer to mollusks such as shellfish snails, while "worms" are white ant eggs (sauce made of sauce). In the Book of Rites, there is a saying of "腶修蚳醢", which means that the monarch should eat dried meat with ant sauce; there is also "Jue Que Fan" in the recipe of the king, "Jue Que" is a bird, and "蜩" refers to cicadas, and "Fan" is a bee. Obviously, insects are definitely not inferior, and even Zhou Tianzi is also to be eaten.
Zi Yue: "Zhou Jian yu second generation, depressed Wen Zhao, I cong zhou." "Of course, we can eat what Zhou Tianzi can eat." Especially for the people of Shandong, the hometown of Confucius, eating insects is not an embarrassing thing, and not eating is a problem. And the most widely accepted, basically regardless of men, women, old and young, should be regarded as one of Zhou Tianzi's recipes, cicadas. Common is the grasshopper, scientific name Cryptotympana atrata, a genus of grasshoppers in the family Hemiptera. The most favored is its nymphs, as shown above---- this photo is OK, the light and shadow are amazing, the delicate is complete, I myself worship.
The picture above is my childhood favorite, crispy fried golden Zen seeds (Khun Tan Gong De Buddha even sneezed a string of sneezes). In fact, most insects only have this one method: slightly pickled and then fried. When I was a child, I also ate "braised" grasshoppers at my next-door neighbor's house (a classmate may have forgotten this), and braised fire could not cope with the chitin of insects, and the taste was not good. Moreover, when I was younger, I wandered in the countryside, caught grasshoppers and grasshoppers, skewered them up and stretched them under the soil stove, roasted them slightly, and ate them, especially the mother grasshoppers with a belly seed (the Buddha of The Lotus Dragon Virtue Buddha committed a vow of anger for this), which is called an incense! Crunchy chicken flavor, eat until the mouth full of soot does not care....... But overall, it is best to fry.
Not only can nymphs be eaten, but they are also edible after the "golden cicada has shed its shell". Insects are so "perverted", not to mention the "total perversion" of butterflies, and even the "semi-perverted" of cicadas is inseparable from the two insects. Compared with before it was taken off, the meat feeling is not good, but it is too crispy, and some people specialize in this bite. In fact, even the middle-aged and even elderly grasshoppers of black and gray are also loved by some people. Don't be surprised, there is nothing you can't eat!
In addition to the grasshopper in the picture above, it is a silkworm pupa, which should be a tulip silkworm pupa, which is generally fried or roasted, such as the "sea cucumber roasted silkworm pupa" in Liaoning. More commonly eaten is the silkworm pupa, which is much smaller than the tulip pupae, but the former enriches the latter hollow, or the silkworm pupae is better. Bee pupae can also be eaten (that is, in the fourth picture), not to mention that bugs are fried out of a taste, bee pupae is far more delicious than silkworm pupae. At the Laoshan farmer's banquet, the bee pupae was often two or three hundred yuan a plate, in addition to slaughtering customers, it was also a noble reason.
The densely packed, shoulder-to-shoulder East Asian pincer scorpion (scientific name Buthus martensii), this scene made me think of the ancient feelings, remembering the "grasshopper basin" of the King of Shang. Of course, there are no insects in the "grasshopper pot", which belongs to the arachnid scorpion family, which is another type of insect that is popular with diners in addition to grasshoppers and silkworm pupae. Perfume is poisonous, scorpions are more poisonous, although generally not fatal, but also quite violent, otherwise it would not have been named "the first of the five poisons" since ancient times. In Journey to the West, after being pushed by Rulai, the scorpion spirit "turned the hook and stuck the thumb of Rulai's left hand, and Rulai was also in pain", which was the only cruel character in the Three Realms who had injured the Buddha and made the bodhisattva "unable to get close to him".
Although the Buddha boasted that he "knew all the things of Zhou Tian and knew the types of Zhou Tian", he may still not know that scorpion poison is poisonous, but he can't hold the frying. Gein scorpion toxin is a class of poisonous proteins, and once cooked at high temperatures, the activity is completely lost. Centipede venom and snake venom are similar, so cooked food is worry-free. Jun didn't see the ancestor of the immortals, Zhen Yuanzi, and when he didn't agree, he put on a frying pan and fried it, in the end it was his Buddha's mercy, and such a vicious thing could not be done... But not necessarily, after the Buddha was stung, "that is, Vajrayogini took him", and it is difficult to say what to do after taking it.
OK, all of the above, including scorpions, are conventional weapons, and they are not strong enough. Let's introduce a few rare things to feast on you. This was all photographed by me at the Qingdao Sugar Ball Club, and I rushed to them. Delicious or not, don't inquire, it's all tears, I forgot to bring money!
This is the field turtle, a fierce underwater predator, hemiptera possum bug family (intensive control please search for possum bugs, there are surprises). Looks a bit like knowing, and there are incense glands that can emit fragrance, it is said to be a strong mint and osmanthus fragrance, so there is a more elegant name: osmanthus cicada. This stuff is common in Cantonese cuisine, and the way of eating it is quite exquisite. It is said that its head is uncovered with a hard shell and meat, known as "lean meat", and the taste of chewing is sweet and fragrant, and some people specifically eat this piece of meat. This is really authentic foodie, "the head of the turtle is picked from the fine meat, and the mosquito belly is cut with fat oil", thanks to the old man!
Notice that I did not take the Latin name as usual, because I was not skilled in my studies and could not accurately identify it (the same below). Bugs, recognize the family on the line, because it is really difficult to identify. When I asked an expert on the forum for a kind of bee, people said, your photo is no longer clear and useless, you have to send a specimen ...
Rainforest scorpion, don't think it's burnt, this cargo is also so dark before it was born. It was much larger than the East Asian pincer scorpion, especially a pair of large claws, which were particularly powerful, as if Cheng Biting Jin was wielding a Xuanhua plate axe. It looks very frightening, but the toxicity is far weaker than that of the pincer scorpion, and it is said that the sting is slightly stronger than the bite of a mosquito. Some people raise it as a pet and can even "get started". Get started... Think about it creepy, eat no problem, raise absolutely not dry, no matter how weak the toxicity is.
This is the "bamboo elephant" loved by the people of the southwest, and the Coleoptera weevil family is of a certain family, which may be the bamboo elephant beetle. Its head tube is slender like an elephant's nose, hence the name. You see this all-bearded, full-tailed, elytra and membranous hindwings are all fried. However, this is not unfamiliar, our hometown will eat a kind of local name "blind breaker", it seems to be a kind of Coleoptera Lijin turtle family, it is also concocted. It doesn't matter if the wings are hard, they will be crispy as soon as they are fried.
Bird Catcher Spiders! It was blown up fiercely, a little out of the shape of a spider, just like Sun Wukong had swept away the pan silk hole. Although the scorpion in front of him is also a member of the arachnid family, after all, it has a long history of eating and is still easy to accept; this thing is a real spider, a spider with a large body to become a fine spider, and a real man or a real woman who dares to eat it please raise your hand. In addition, bird-catching spiders can also be kept as pets, do you want to try? If you are dead, you can also fry it and eat it.
The last appearance must be the finale. Some kind of giant centipede, visually measuring about 20 centimeters in length. I think this is a thriller blockbuster, and the bird catcher spider shines with each other, and it is bright for a while. I am most afraid of polypodical things, mainly because I am not familiar with them... When it's fried, it really looks a lot better.
It is said that there is a plot of Hong Qigong preying on centipedes in "Divine Eagle Heroes", which is like this: only to see Hong Qigong take out a knife, cut off the head and tail of the centipede, gently pinch, the shell should fall in hand, exposing the flesh, snow white and transparent, like a large shrimp, very beautiful. I have to say that Jin Daxia is too able to fool, and it may be possible to "shell" the centipede, after all, it is originally molted, but the flesh that exposes "snow white and transparent" is purely YY. Moreover, Hong Qigong also boiled the snow and boiled it, in order to try the centipede to "spit out all the venom and urine", which was obviously superfluous.
However, Hong Qigong has a saying that is very good, "There are many people in the world who are not ashamed to call themselves heroes and good men, but those who dare to eat centipedes cannot find a few", which is really loud and urges people to forge ahead! Life is not only in front of you, but also eating and far away; life is so short, only food can not be disappointed, want to eat wild meat and do not want to break the law (for example, some officials in Guangxi who have eaten pangolins in the past two days, I am afraid that I am going to be sentenced), bravely joining the "insect eaters" is a good choice.
Moreover, (Kun) worm is indeed a good source of protein, if you can partially replace meat, you can reduce carbon emissions to save the earth's mother, this is really "poor is good at their own, up to the world", why not enjoy it?
