Tianfu Nature 丨 Insect "Puppet Gentle" (July 24, 2022)

Speaking of the name of the wax cicada, everyone may not be familiar with it because the Department of Cicada is a large family, which refers to a large family of nodular animal doors, six -legged gates, insects, winged subclase, and half -winged. insect. They are often bright in color and easy to identify. Some types can secrete waxy, and some larvae have wax fluff.

Bybolt of the wax cicada is often white and grows very "fairy"; adults often wear "wave dot" jackets, which are quite beautiful and fashionable. But in sharp comparison with the beautiful appearance, they are very harmful to the agricultural and forestry.

For example, the blue moth wax cicada looks like a jade earrings, but it will have a high probability that the pathogenic fungus will be transmitted to plants when absorbing plant juice, which will cause secondary damage to plants. Another example is the fancy spots and wax cicadas. Where they gather, whether it is a tree or on the ground, it is always humid, and it looks like it is immersed by oil stains. It turns out that after eating the juice of vegetation, they will excrete transparent and sticky honey dew. Once these honey dew is precipitated, blackmium will grow, and it will prevent the photosynthesis on the leaves and affect the growth of vegetation. If the leaves fall off, the severe will wither and die.

The harm is so great, no wonder some people say that they are "pseudo -gentlemen" of "puppet gentlemen" with "appearance".
