Chapter 796

Ask for recommended tickets again. Today we'll work with recommended tickets, because the ranking is too bad****

When the children came back from school, they saw several huts built. They immediately screamed excitedly, threw down their schoolbags, ran in and climbed out.

Until dinner, Qin Shiou called them several times, but no one listened. He had to spread his hands and shouted, "you are all big children. Don't be such a second grader, will you?"

Shirley said discontentedly, "this is originally prepared for us. Do you think a six or seven year old boy can use a juicer and an ice maker?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said indifferently, "very good. If you like it, sleep in it. You don't have to come back for dinner in the future."

"Then we really sleep here?" Shirley looked at Qin Shiou and asked. The cold drink cabin has a small bed and a home cabin with a bathroom.

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "whatever you like, wait until midnight to feed mosquitoes.".

The children were so interested in the outdoor sleeping hut that they really ran in with their little bedding, but they ran back soon.

Qin Shiou was chatting with Mario about the farm. When he saw the children running back, he gloated and said, "what's the matter? Are there many mosquitoes?"

Winnie stood up and said, "it doesn't matter. I'll find you an electric mosquito repellent incense."

Shirley wrinkled her face and said, "no, it's not a mosquito, it's an insect. The insect is squeaking. It's too noisy to sleep."

"Bugs?" Qin Shiou was stunned and immediately responded, "are you talking about cicadas?"

Cicada is cicada, but there is no such name in North America.

Shirley and others nodded. Gordon said discontentedly, "yes, it's that kind of bug. It's really annoying. It screams endlessly. They also attract many other insects around. The roof of the hut is full of bug shit!"

Qin Shiou didn't notice. He seems to have a little more cicadas this summer.

Shirley and other children call cicadas insects. It's not that they sell cute, but that's what Canadian children call them. Because it's rare, they only met once in their childhood.

Canadian cicada and Chinese cicada are not the same species. Cicadas are periodic insects. Their nymphs live underground. Finally, adults will live on the ground for a period of time, usually in summer and early autumn, and then die.

Most of the Chinese cicadas are three-year cicadas and five-year cicadas, while the Canadian cicada is a kind of North American cicada with the name of seventeen year Cicada!

It can be understood from the name that this kind of cicada can live for 17 years, but they have more than 16 years to hide underground. In the last few months, they fly out of the ground, look for their spouse, leave eggs, and then die.

Now Indians in some places still use cicadas to calculate their lives. When the cicada first appeared on a large scale, he may still be a child; When he gets married, a large group of cicadas will appear; When his own children get married, they will appear again. When his children and grandchildren are full and about to retire, they will appear again.

If they are lucky, these Indians can experience another outbreak of cicadas, and then they will die.

Cicadas are global creatures and occur every year. Qin Shiou heard cicadas on farewell island last year, but they are rare, so he didn't care.

However, this year, it seems that the cicadas' calls are suddenly disordered, and the number sounds much more than last year.

Qin Shiou simply mentioned it, and Mario smiled, "didn't you notice? This year is a 17 year outbreak cycle of cicadas, and the three grassland provinces are already preparing for disaster prevention. "

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

The cicada population erupted very rapidly. Qin Shiou didn't feel much the day before. The next morning, when he was running, he suddenly saw a group of dark insects flying out of the small forest. After a circle, they flew back. Then there was a "squeak" sound in the small forest.

"Lying trough, isn't it all cicadas?" Qin Shiou asked in amazement.

The soldiers ran with Qin Shiou. Hearing his question, Heidao smiled and said, "of course, it's cicadas. It's cicadas for seventeen years. I'm deeply impressed by them. I suffered from them when I was on duty in Washington seventeen years ago!"

Then the black knife sighed, "God, can you make time go slowly? It will be seventeen years in the blink of an eye. At that time, I was still a young man. Alas. "

Qin Shiou said strangely, "what can you suffer from cicadas? They don't bite people, they don't eat crops, or they're a delicious food. "

A group of soldiers stared at him with strange eyes. BB Shuang exaggerated and said, "food? No, I won't eat such ugly guys. They are like, er, like aliens. Yes, aliens, very terrible! "

The receiver also said, "they really don't bite, but they are very annoying. They exist wherever there are trees. You keep driving them away, or they will hum all day and night and chew the leaves on your head... God! It was a disaster! "

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

The trigger helped the receiver to defend: "no, they eat. There was a small poplar in my yard. As a result, about 17 years ago, a group of cicadas invaded it, and soon the leaves disappeared. Naturally, the poor little tree died!"

Qin Shiou laughed. He thought these Americans were very interesting. They were experts in some fields and cute idiots in others.

There's nothing to argue about. Qin Shiou acquiesced to their statement and ran to the woods to listen to it for a while.

The noisy cicadas are so loud that they don't sound good at all. On the contrary, they are harsh, which shows how huge their number is.

After returning to the villa, he checked the Internet. Mario was not kidding. The three grassland provinces did issue a 17 year cicada outbreak warning.

According to the different mature months of adults, there are two varieties of 17 year cicada, which are located in the United States and Canada. They have not been found in other parts of the world except North America.

In fact, cicadas have been recorded since people settled in the mainland of the United States, but even today, entomologists still can not fully understand this insect, which is said to be the largest number on earth.

The seventeen year cicada of the United States occupied more than 15 states, and the whole Central Atlantic region was taken by them, such as most of Virginia, New York, West Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, northern Georgia, etc.

Canada's 17 year cicada mainly lives in the southern regions of the three prairie provinces, Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland, such as farewell island.

The reason why this insect is regarded as a disaster is that it is very violent when it erupts. In the forest area where the climate conditions adapt, the average number of cicadas per acre will reach 1.5 million!
