2, look at the abdomen:

Yellow is female, white is male.

3, look at the pupa:

Below the tail end link of the pupa, the female pupa has an X shape, the male pupa does not, and the female pupa is fatter, the male pupa is more pointy and long.

Conditions to pay attention to sericulture:

1, temperature control

Sericulture is more sensitive to temperature, in a warm environment is conducive to the development of the embryo, so it is best to control the temperature between 20-25 degrees Celsius, and can not be lower than 20 degrees Celsius, if the temperature of the breeding is too low, the silkworm babies will stop growing.

2, provide light

In the process of raising silkworms, you need to provide it with appropriate light, can not be placed in the shade for a long time, otherwise it will affect the appetite of silkworms, in the clear weather, you can put the silkworms in the semi-shade, so that it accepts the natural light irradiation.

3, feeding feed

Silkworms have a fragile stomach, try to choose more soft leaves, such as mulberry leaves, cabbage leaves, pay attention to the leaves to be chopped into small pieces, easy to eat, so as not to be difficult to swallow the baby silkworms.

4, clean up the debris

In the process of raising silkworm babies, pay attention to the health of the box, found that there are leaves as well as feed accumulation should be cleaned up, to avoid rotting and breeding bacteria, resulting in diarrhea, silkworm babies, and in severe cases, will be infected with disease.

Because they have mysterious manipulation ability, because in nature, there are many examples of post-infection fungal manipulation, for example, the behavior of ants infected with fungus is completely manipulated, when the fungus reproduces, these ants will find a piece of leaf slightly higher than the ground, and then bite the vein with their mandibles, and finally, directly will be hanged, the spores in the ants The spores grow and spread on the head, and the ants are picky about where they choose to die; usually, they are a certain distance from the ground, neither too high nor too low.

The surroundings are also perfect for the fungus to grow, which makes people sigh, and many ask if these fungi are really that smart, in fact, because how fungi manipulate their hosts has always been a hot but difficult topic for scientists to study, but some studies have reported that scientists may have found some clues, and most of the scientists believe that although how the fungi control the cicada hosts' mechanism remains to be explained, but there are clues that the controlling behavior may be linked to certain psycho-chemicals.

One of these is the flat mushroom, which may not be familiar to everyone, but it is familiar to plants containing this neurotoxin, especially to those who grew up in Yunnan when they used to eat hand greens with naked mushrooms, a statement that seems like it should only be on movies, but it is, and while there are some elements of artistic exaggeration, I think words are not in the cards for us at the moment won't happen.

Because the viruses and parasitic fungi we've discovered so far are relatively benign and don't have a strong ability to control animal consciousness. However, art is actually derived from real life, so some of these sci-fi movie scenarios actually have some scientific basis in the fact that in nature, especially in the insect world, hallucinogenic fungal infections are usually present and are manipulated by the fungus according to its own intentions, so we can't stop this type of insect from continuing to develop.

The question of why zombie cicadas that have lost their abdomens remain undead and can even mate is explained here today.

How to tell the baby silkworms from male and female pictures

The tail of baby silkworms:

The female silkworms have four concave dots on the ventral surface of the second and third segments of the tail, which are named Ishidu's glands; and the male silkworms have a protruding small round dot point between the second and third segments of their tails, which is named Heliotrope's glands.

The abdomen of the silkworm baby: yellow is the female, white is the male.

Speaking of silkworm pupae: in the pupa tail end under the link, the female pupa long there is an X-shaped occlusion hole, the male pupa is not, generally speaking, the female pupa is more fat and bloated, the male pupa is more pointed long and thin.
