Golden Fishery

Then ask for a recommendation ticket, today we will do it with the recommendation ticket, because the ranking is too bad. ****

When the children came back from school and saw the huts built, they screamed excitedly, dropped their schoolbags and ran in and crawled in and out.

Playing until eating, Qin Shiou called them several times but no one listened, so he spread his hands and shouted: "You are all big kids, don't be so secondary?"

Xue Li was dissatisfied: "This was originally prepared for us. Don't you think that a six or seven-year-old kid can use a juicer and an ice machine?"

Qin Shiou shrugged, and said indifferently: "Very good, you can sleep in it if you like, and you will live here in the future, so you don't have to come back for dinner."

"Then are we really sleeping here?" Shirley looked at Qin Shiou and asked. The cold drink cabin has a small bed, and there is also a home cabin, which even has a bathroom.

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, what do you want to do, wait until midnight to feed the mosquitoes.

The children were very interested in sleeping in the hut in the wild, and actually ran in with their little quilts in their arms, but ran back after a while.

Qin Shiou was chatting with Mario about the farm, and when he saw the children running back in disgrace, he gloated and said, "What's the matter, are there a lot of mosquitoes?"

Winnie stood up and said, "It's okay, I'll find you an electric mosquito coil."

Shirley wrinkled her pretty face and said, "No, it's not a mosquito, it's a bug. The bugs are squeaking. The noise is too loud, so I can't sleep."

"Bug?" Qin Shiou was taken aback. Immediately realized, "You mean the cicada, right?"

A cicada is a cicada, but naturally there is no such name in North America.

Shirley and the others nodded. Gordon said dissatisfiedly: "Yes, it's that kind of bug. It's really annoying. It screams endlessly. They also attract many other bugs around. The roof of the hut is full of bug droppings!"

Qin Shiou didn't pay attention, he seemed to know a lot this summer.

Shirley and other children called cicadas insects. It's not that they are cute, but that's what Canadian kids call this insect. Because this thing is relatively rare, they only saw it once in their entire childhood.

Canadian cicadas and Chinese cicadas are not the same species. Cicadas are insects that grow periodically. Their nymphs live underground, and finally the adults will live on the ground for a period of time, usually in the summer and early autumn months,

Then die.

Most Chinese cicadas are three-year cicadas, five-year cicadas, etc., while Canadian cicadas are a type of North American cicadas, whose name is seventeen-year cicadas!

As you can tell from the name, this kind of cicada can live for 17 years, but they hide underground for more than 16 years, and fly out of the ground in the last few months. Find a mate to leave eggs, then die.

Indians in some places still use cicadas to count their own lives. When cicadas first appeared in large numbers. He may be a child; when he marries, a swarm of cicadas will appear; when his own children marry, they will appear again;

If you are lucky. These Indians can go through another era of cicada outbreaks, and then they will die.

Cicadas are creatures that are global. It happens every year. Qin Shiou also heard cicadas singing on Farewell Island last year, but the number was rare, so he didn't care.

But this year, it seems that the cicadas' cicadas have suddenly become chaotic, and the number seems to be much higher than last year.

Qin Shiou briefly mentioned it, and Mario smiled and said, "Didn't you notice? This year is the seventeen-year cicada outbreak cycle, and the three provinces of the grassland are already making disaster prevention preparations."

At that time, Qin Shiou didn't care. Cicadas only sucked tree sap, they didn't hurt people, they didn't bite people, and they didn't eat crops. What kind of disaster could it be? He thought Mario was joking, but a few days later he found out that it was not a joke!

The population of cicadas exploded very rapidly. Qin Shiou didn't feel anything the day before, but when he was running in the morning the next day, he suddenly saw a group of dark insects flying out of a small forest, and then flew back after a circle. There was a 'cheep' sound in the woods.

"Damn it, wouldn't it be all cicadas?" Qin Shiou asked in astonishment.

The soldiers ran with Qin Shiou, and when he heard his question, Heidao smiled and said, "Of course, those are cicadas, those are seventeen-year cicadas, I am deeply impressed by them, seventeen years ago when I was on duty in Washington, But I have suffered from them!"

As he said that, Hei Dao became emotional: "God, can you slow down time? In the blink of an eye, it will be seventeen years, and I was still a young man at that time, alas."

Qin Shiou said strangely: "Cicadas, what can you suffer? They don't bite people or eat crops, and they are still a delicious food."

A group of soldiers stared at him with strange eyes, and BB Shuang said exaggeratedly: "Food? No, I won't eat such ugly guys. They are like, uh, like aliens, yes, aliens, very scary!"

The doormat also said: "They really don't bite, but they are very annoying. As long as there are trees, they exist. You have to keep driving them away, or they will buzz all day and all night. Crunching and chewing leaves on top of your head...God! That's a disaster!"

"Cicadas don't eat leaves, ok?" Qin Shiou said.

Trigger defended the doormat and said, "No, they eat it. There used to be a small poplar tree in my yard, and it turned out that about seventeen years ago, a group of cicadas invaded it, and it didn't take long for the leaves to disappear. Naturally, that tree The poor little tree is dead too!"

Qin Shiou laughed. He thought this group of Americans was very interesting. They were experts in some fields, and they were idiots in some fields.

There was nothing to argue about, Qin Shiou acquiesced to what they said, and ran to the side of the grove to listen for a while.

The noisy chirping of cicadas is too loud, not pleasant at all, but a bit harsh, which shows how huge their number is.

After returning to the villa, he checked the Internet. Mario was not joking, and the three provinces of the grassland had indeed issued an outbreak warning for the 17-year cicada.

According to the different months of adult maturity, there are two species of 17-year-old cicadas, which are located in the United States and Canada respectively. Except for the North American continent, they have not been found in other parts of the world.

In fact, cicadas have been documented as far back as the continental United States has been settled, but even today entomologists still don't fully understand what is said to be the most populous insect on Earth.

Seventeen-year-old cicadas in the United States occupy more than 15 states, and the entire mid-Atlantic region has been taken by them, such as most of Virginia, New York, Western Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, and northern Georgia Wait.

Seventeen-year cicadas in Canada mainly live in the three prairie provinces, Ontario, Quebec and southern parts of Newfoundland, such as Farewell Island.

The reason these insects are considered a disaster is because their outbreaks are so violent that the average number of cicadas per acre of land can reach 1.5 million in climate-adapted forest areas! (to be continued)
