For special animals, ground beetles can be said to be the best insect to raise. Its feed is widely available and easy to find, its feeding technology is simple, its labor intensity is low, its environmental requirements are not strict, its skin is easy to molt, and there is basically no death. Farmers can breed successfully regardless of their cultural level.

Compared with scorpions, the value of ground beetles is not high. In the medicinal market, its selling price is only 1/10 of that of scorpions. At present, in the medicinal materials market in Bozhou, Anhui Province, the sales price of freshwater scorpions is 550 yuan/kg, while the local price is 30 yuan/kg. Because scorpions love to eat earth element, scorpion farmers generally like to raise earth element as an excellent feed for scorpions. In recent years, due to the lack of breeders and the popularity of the market, prices have gradually increased. In addition, the feeding cost is low, and it is also a better family wealth project.
