The abdomen and back of wild cicada monkeys are black, relatively small, and the overall size is uneven. The whole body of farmed cicada monkeys is yellow, brighter, and the size is slightly more uniform. When raising cicada monkeys, the collection of egg branches is very important. Cicada monkeys usually lay eggs around August every year, so you must choose egg branches from wild artificially collected fruit trees. Cicada monkeys mainly live on healthy tree species that grow vigorously and have a lot of sap, such as poplar, elm, willow and other tree species.

1. The difference between wild cicada monkeys and farmed cicada monkeys

1. Differences in appearance: The abdomen and back of wild cicada monkeys are black, relatively small, and the overall size is not very uniform; the cultured cicada monkeys are yellow all over, brighter in color, and slightly more uniform in size.

2. Price difference: The price of wild cicada monkeys will be more expensive, while the price of farmed cicada monkeys will be cheaper.

3. When breeding cicada monkeys, the collection of egg branches is particularly important. Cicada monkeys usually lay eggs around August every year. You must choose egg branches from wild artificially collected fruit trees. After the cicada monkey lays eggs on the new branches of the year, it can usually be seen within a few hours. At this time, the branches will wither and die, and some punctured bark can also be seen on the branches. If there are no punctures on the branches, The bark of the tree means it does not contain cicada monkey eggs. Generally, the cicada monkey egg branches collected in the same year must be kept in a cool and humid room after manual pruning.

4. Cicada monkeys generally live more in healthy tree species with vigorous growth and more sap, such as poplar, elm, willow and other tree species. These tree species are preferred by cicada monkeys. When planting trees, you can also intercrop some crops, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and other vines. Although root crops cannot meet the food needs of cicada monkeys, rhizome vines can provide it with better shade conditions.

2. How many years does it take for a cicada to appear?

1. Under normal circumstances, it takes 3-5 years for cicada monkeys to emerge. The specific time depends on the spawning time and breeding technology. Cicada monkeys usually lay eggs in June-July (egg of the current year) or September-October (2-year eggs). It takes a certain period of time to hatch out the cicada ants. After the cicada ants emerge, they need to grow underground for 3 years. out.

2. A cicada monkey needs to go through three stages: egg, nymph, and adult in one cycle. Cicada monkeys are also known as cicada monkeys, golden cicadas, cicada turtles, crawling grasshoppers, etc. In most areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, there is a habit of eating cicada monkeys. Cicada monkeys are rich in nutrients and at the same time they are It is also a commonly used Chinese medicinal material.

3. When the cicada monkey matures, it will slowly emerge from the ground and climb up the tree trunk. You can make an isolation belt 30-50cm away from the soil on the tree trunk. The width of the belt must be controlled at about 10cm, and the surface must be smooth. So you know The monkey can't climb up. Cicada monkeys generally like to be unearthed after rain, because rain can help them carry out activities in the soil, so when the weather is dry for a long time, artificial rain must be applied to encourage them to unearth. Cicada seeds cannot be harvested in one go. The harvesting time can last for nearly 1 months, or even longer.
