Live the leisurely life of the mountain village

Chapter 419 Ghost King Katydid!

"After all, the female praying mantis has to use camouflage to protect herself and ensure reproduction. There is no need for this male praying mantis."

"It's not just that."

Zhuang Qiu took the topic and explained.

"This camouflage is also for the convenience of catching prey. Ambushing in the dark, the possibility of catching prey is higher. The volume of the male mantis is half that of the female mantis, and it is also for this reason."

"This thing is brutal."

Natasha pouted and said.

"So, just this little thing?"

The people in the live broadcast room looked at the beautiful appearance of this mantis, but it really couldn't be connected with the word ferocity.

"Haha, it's just such a little thing, it's really fierce."

Zhuang Qiu explained with a smile.

"The life cycle of this orchid mantis is relatively short, only 6-8 months. It emerges from the egg sac in spring and dies in winter."

"During this eight-month period, they molt several times, with different colors at different stages."

"The first few minutes of the orchid mantis' life are when they are most vulnerable, and they must quickly hide and wait for their soft bodies to harden."

"Within 20 minutes, their legs will turn from white to black, from soft to hard."

"As it grows up, after the first molt, it will molt into white and pink colors, and the pink will gradually disappear after adulthood, and brown spots will appear. Maybe it has experienced multiple deaths at birth. threat, so forged the ferocious nature of their group."

"The orchid mantis is not only extremely vicious when it's preying, but also vicious towards its own kind. After mating, the female mantis will eat the male mantis, and they will also hunt each other when they are usually hungry."

Hearing that the people in the live broadcast room here are excited.

"I'm going, isn't this the black widow of the praying mantis world? She even eats her own spouse, so she is considered non-toxic and not a husband."

"We usually eat each other when we are hungry, absolutely."

"Or the most poisonous woman's heart, it's okay if this woman is ruthless, even a female praying mantis is so scary when ruthless."

"Some people say that non-toxic is not a husband, this is just the way of nature's survival."

"That's it."

Zhuang Qiu lowered his head, opened the bottle of mineral water, took advantage of the mantis not paying attention, and snapped it up.

As soon as the orchid mantis entered, it fluttered wildly, making muffled noises in the bottle.

"Yo, this little thing is really ruthless."

"Yes, twice."

Zhuang Qiu took out his pocket knife and cut a few holes in the mineral water bottle as breathing ports to ensure that the orchid mantis can maintain normal breathing.

After all, this official requirement must be a living thing in the end.

"However, this orchid praying mantis is really rare. It's not easy to find even if you want to look for it. If you are lucky enough to meet it in the wild, don't catch it and let it go away."

Natasha couldn't help adding.

"Yes, yes, protection of rare animals, this should be publicized."

"Yes, we also caught this orchid mantis alive, and we will release it after a review."

"Not only the orchid praying mantis, if you see other rare animals, remember to release them."

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhuang's live broadcast room spreads positive energy every day."

"In the first place, it is necessary to spread positive energy to be able to broadcast for a long time. What attracts everyone is the positive things in the live broadcast. Those crooked ways can only attract temporary popularity."

"Oh, there is something in the story upstairs."

"Hahaha, it's not that there is something in the words, I just said it clearly, some anchors on the outside station know the connotation of others' enthusiasm, and they have no capacity for any live broadcast. The live broadcast is not positive at all."

"Okay, let's just watch our own live broadcast room. Don't worry about other people's. After all, it's his father's business, and it's not good for us to do it for us."

After Zhuang Qiu put away the bottle, he threw it lightly.

"Pfft, Master Zhuang is still so natural and harmless, but it's extremely insulting."

"That's right, his father didn't teach his son well, and it's not the case that we always do it for him."

"I'm dying of laughter, Mr. Zhuang 66666. Cowpiklas."

Zhuang Qiu turned his head and was about to leave, but saw Natasha's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

"What are you looking at?"

Zhuang Qiu followed Natasha's line of sight.

"Wow! We are really lucky!"

At this moment, Zhuang Qiu's pupils dilated involuntarily.

"This is……"

"Ghost King Katydid!"

Zhuang Qiu and Natasha spoke out at the same time.

At the same time, a scary-looking insect lying on a leaf also appeared on the screen of the live broadcast room.

The body length of this insect looks about 7-10cm long, the whole body is emerald green, there are yellow spine-like protrusions on the top of the forehead, there are 3 pairs of large thorns on the edge of the head, the upper jaw is huge and yellow, and the adult wings are wide, covering the abdomen. The lower abdomen is yellow, and the six legs are covered with spikes.

"This thing looks very unique."

"The name is also very cool, Ghost King Katydid, just like the big boss in the anime."

"I seem to have seen this thing when I went abroad to play before. I heard from the tour guide that it is very fierce. It is an omnivore and not only eats grass."

"That's right, I know this thing too. It seems to be called a golden-faced unicorn. Not to mention, many anime are based on this thing."

"Master Zhuang, popularize it."

Zhuang Qiu thought for a while and said.

"The ghost king katydid is indeed an omnivorous insect. It usually feeds mainly on leaves and flowers, and sometimes uses its spiny forefeet to catch prey, such as other insects and small reptiles. In fact, only the spines on the forefoot play a role in predation , while the spines on other parts are defensive in nature, physically defending against potential predators, such as birds and lizards."

"When threatened, it will open its fangs, raise its front feet, and its limbs and face are full of thorns. The bright yellow sharp jaws and arrogant posture leave a deep visual shock.

As night falls in the forests of the upper Amazon, male adult king katydids rub their wings together and send out a loud, high-pitched, whistle-like song that travels high up in the tree canopy and into the ears of listening females. attracts females. "

After Zhuang Qiu finished speaking, he rummaged through his backpack for a long time before he found a bottle with a slightly larger caliber.

"Fortunately brought this out."

Zhuang Qiu looked at the people in the live broadcast room and explained.

"This thing is very vigilant, it moves fast, and it can also attack people. So it's better to use a bottle with a larger caliber to catch it safely."

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Qiu slowly approached the ghost king katydid step by step, for fear that one of his steps would be too heavy and disturb it.
