In order to breed cicadas, you need to go through steps such as collecting cicada eggs, selecting a site, burying egg branches, paying attention to waterproofing and epidemic prevention work.

1. Collect cicada eggs

Before breeding cicada monkeys, you need to collect cicada eggs. Female cicadas mostly lay eggs on willow trees, apple trees, or white wickers with dense foliage, and the branches after laying eggs will wither within a week. At this time, dry branches can be obtained from the above three trees and selected The branches with granular eggs in them were collected.

2. Select a breeding site

After collecting cicada monkey eggs, you also need to select a breeding site. Cicada monkeys can obtain nutrients from the roots of willow trees and apple trees, so the planting area needs to have the above two trees. If not, you can also choose an area with open terrain and plant white willow seedlings as a breeding base for cicada monkeys.

3. Bury egg branches

After selecting the breeding site, you can bury the collected branches in the soil of the base, two branches per square meter of area , cover the top of the branches with three centimeters of soil, and then compact it firmly. While burying, you can also dig some drainage ditches for the cicada monkeys to prevent water from accumulating in the soil during the rainy season and affecting their growth.

4. Waterproofing work

When managing cicada monkeys in the later period, you can regularly loosen the soil and drain excess water from the soil, and you can also water the trees in the breeding site every day. , allowing trees to grow better and providing sufficient nutrition for cicada monkeys underground. It is also necessary to install protective measures at breeding sites to prevent livestock from trampling on the soil and affecting the growth of cicada monkeys.

5. Epidemic prevention work

When the golden cicada is discovered, it has many enemies, so we must be prepared for epidemic prevention at the beginning. Usually there are snakes, rats and sparrows. Creatures that like to eat insects are our nemesis. Guardrails must be set up nearby and supervision must be increased. In addition, other microbial strains such as Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae may be harmful, so reasonable sterilization must be carried out. The next step is to prevent the damage caused by chemical fertilizers to golden cicadas. Special attention must be paid when breeding.
