I don't know if everyone still has an impression of a small insect that I used to play with when I was a child, it is a celestial cow. Maybe Tianniu has been forgotten by us, but this time the content is about Tianniu.
↓ Peach-necked celestial cow
The Celestial Bull is a general term for insects of the family Polyphagous, chewing mouthparts, with long antennae, often longer than the length of the body, and there are more than 20,000 species worldwide. There are some species that are pests whose larvae live in wood and can cause harm to trees or buildings. Most of the pine, cypress, willow, elm, walnut, citrus, apple, peach and tea, etc., some cotton, wheat, corn, sorghum, sugarcane and hemp, a few wood, buildings, houses and furniture, etc., are the main pests in forestry production, crop cultivation and construction wood.
Many people don't like the celestial cow because it will cause harm to a tree throughout "childhood" and even lead to plant death. Although we children are children after all, we know that they are pests, but we can't suppress our playfulness.

In fact, Tianniu still has one thing to fear: biting!
The most common Celestial Bull we have encountered may be the bare-shouldered Celestial Bull in the picture above, it is usually very docile and will not actively attack any creatures, but if you pinch it pain, it will use a strong jaw to bite, tear, a pull, if you can not get rid of it in time, the skin may be broken.

In fact, in the insect fighting world, Tianniu is not very powerful, but Tianniu is still undeniable in terms of self-defense. Yunban White Striped Celestial Bull, a large Celestial Bull, is 5 to 6 centimeters long, and one can completely bite a praying mantis that comes to prey on it. Even in the face of small scorpions and bird-catching spiders, it can use its hard shell and strong bite force to subdue each other.

Here are some encyclopedias about it:
The adult body of the Titan Beetle can reach 6.5 inches (about 16.7 cm) long, and if its antenna length is included, it can reach 8 inches (about 21 cm) long. It is said that the lower jaw of the Titan beetle can bite off a pencil or cut into human skin. Adult Titan beetles never eat, they just fly around in search of a mate, and are easily attracted to the glare of the dark. The Titan beetle's larvae have never been found, but scientists believe that the larvae should inhabit the wood for several years before fully growing, after which the pupae becomes an adult.
Titan Beetles terrorize enemies by making hissing sounds, and have hard exoskeletons and powerful jaws. But it is reported that unless they are teased, the large insect will not easily attack humans.
Such a huge beetle, you must know for the first time: "Oh, it turns out that this guy is the same kind of thing I played with when I was a child!" ”
