Feeding and its value
First, high-scale artificial breeding technology Already have a maturity of more than 30 artificial breeding techniques. Provenance Collection: a variety of mantis egg masses are the branches, trunk, stem, or stone walls on the winter. Usually in September to the second year in February may start ovum. Ovum, _select_ the egg mass, surface protection layer of thick, shiny and strong, tear-free egg outside, wear or parasites Zhukong high quality, robust egg, egg masses of the adhesion with the branches of a cut, put a little into the canned water bottle. Intrathecal hatching eggs begin to hatch before (before the temperature rose to 20 ℃), should do the preparatory work before feeding. Feeding insects: praying mantis insects are predators, like catching live insects, especially the movement of insects for food. 3 years old before the young nymphs, such as no live insects, is difficult to raise successfully. Therefore, in the praying mantis egg before hatching, should be prepared to feed live insects such as aphids and houseflies and so on. Aphid fecundity is very strong, and easy to raise. Can advance in flower pots or small plastic Yang Qi, planting cruciferous plants until after emergence, constriction aphid inoculation serving, let stand reproduction. Other mellonella insects feed, corn, cabbage butterfly, earth element, Tenebrio and so on. Artificial Ingredients: 3 Age greater food intake after the praying mantis nymphs, live food alone can not meet the limited needs, therefore, must be the preparation of artificial feed. Here are three successful artificial feed formula: Formula 1: The first 250 ml of water into the container, whichever is the small amount of water, yeast tablets will be broken up into 5 grams dissolved in water, and then 50 grams of egg yolk, 20 g honey, 20 grams of sugar all into, after stir evenly, into the steaming pot boiling, cooling the reserve. Formula 2: 100 grams of fresh liver (the liver of other animals can also be), washed and chopped into a paste bad cut, add 50 grams of sugar, mix well spare. Formula 3: 100 ml of water, 40 grams of fresh liver, aphids powder 20 grams, 5 grams of soy, sugar 20 grams, agar 20 grams, 1 gram of yeast tablets. Applying the above three formulations, we should pay great attention to sanitation and disinfection. After cooling, with a good diet, can be placed in the refrigerator for short-term preservation, on-demand access. Such as mass rearing, the best the next day according to the amount of preparation time. Feeding and management: mantis kill each other due to the habits, so artificial cage has some difficulties. Outdoor 12 m × 6 m × 2 meters large enveloped feeding, cage transplant trees and cotton planting small isolated objects, and for the praying mantis habitat, reduce opportunities for contact, to avoid cannibalism. Meanwhile, fed with artificial paste diet. Shandong Agricultural University, Institute of Entomology, feed and fly larva feeding insects mantis, to complete the process of growth and development and lay eggs. Environmental control: man-of-season training, breaking dormancy, temperature and humidity simulation, artificial creation of natural conditions, 250-watt infrared light per day, plus other photo ultraviolet rays. Harvest processing: in the fall to next spring harvest. Post-harvest clean-up of impurities, immersed in boiling water for 30-40 minutes or steam to kill, to kill the eggs in the egg sheath, steamed through the dried or drying is the traditional Chinese medicine san cuttlebone, standby or sales. Note that you must kill the eggs, or hatched larvae, the efficacy decreased, affecting the quality. Processing: Take protozoa finishing clean, with 2% -5% of the saline solution, mix well, moistening, steamed out 2 hours, dried, or slow fire fried dry. Second, the economic use of Medicinal Value: TCM Division Sang cuttlebone is the mantis egg cases of insects. Sang cuttlebone contains 18 amino acids, of which 8 were essential amino acids, also contains 7 kinds of phospholipids. Sang cuttlebone and astringent with anti-frequent urination. Phospholipids have to reduce the role of atherosclerosis, and can promote the development of red blood cell membrane synthesis and Qi Ta Sang cuttlebone of sweet, salty, warm, non-toxic, hepatic, kidney. Have kidney impotence, urinary function solid minified. Indications enuresis, nocturnal emission, then the frequency, kidney lower back pain, weakness, also apply to women, vaginal discharge, menstrual blood does not transfer embolism. Sang cuttlebone has reached the market price of 60-80 yuan / kg. Sang cuttlebone than outside can also be used as medicine mantis, mantis about to dry and adult medicine. Mantis has nourishing the physical, Jianshen essence, only pull the frightened and function. Indications physically weak, weakness, impotence, seminal emission, convulsion convulsions in children, enuresis, hemorrhoids, and neurasthenia. The main clinical application compatibility with other drugs, such as rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Biocontrol value: more than 40 species of prey mantis can be pests such as flies, mosquitoes, locusts, Tettigonioidea bitter insects, moth, butterfly eggs, larvae, pupae exposed, adult and other small insects, cicadas, locusts and other large insects. Edible value: Mantis is a nutritious high-protein food insects. Ornamental value: through artificial-season training, you can make people enjoy the annual mantis. Mantis is also building a small zoo, wildlife park insects good material.

Knives mantis tenodera aridifolia stoll English name: chinese mantid Mantis Mantodea mantodea families are mantdae. 70-100 mm body length, body large, all green or brown. Triangular head, short antennae. Mantis insect known as the praying mantis, mantis knives, axes and other refuse, it is more ancient insects, its morphological structure and the four million years ago, the fossil mantis is almost similar. Mantis often with mimicry and camouflage, with green leaves shaped like leaves, flower or bamboo-like and so on. Mantis insect metamorphosis is the sound of rain. Egg mass as cuttlebone, produced in Mulberry Mulberry cuttlebone who said, can be used as medicine. Mantis is carnivorous, ferocious, aggressiveness, feeding a wide range, and a large appetite, in agriculture, forest predators many insects, is a variety of natural enemies of pests. Distribution: all over the country. ------- The praying mantis mating In 1984, two scientists Riske (e.liske) and Davis (wjdavis) it is also observed in the laboratory knives mantis mating, but made some improvements: they eat enough in advance to feed the mantis, the lights down dark, and let mantis own entertainment, not on the side of people watching, and use the camera records. The results were unprecedented: In the thirty mating in the field, not a husband to eat there. Instead, they first recorded the mantis complex courtship ritual: both male and female dance, the whole process a short 10 minutes up to two hours long. Riske and Davis that the previous reason why people frequently observed in the laboratory mantis eating her husband, one of the reasons is because the direct observation of the conditions, the loss of "privacy" no chance at mantis mating ritual, and this ceremony will remove malicious female mantis is mantis male mating success in necessary. Another reason is because the mantis feeding in the laboratory are often hungry, hungry praying mantis female, to her husband as delicious. To prove this, Riske, and Davis in 1987 and a series of experiments. They found that those at the height of hunger state (hungry, has been 5-11 days) male saw the female mantis mantis to eat pounced to grab little interest in sexual intercourse. A moderate hunger state (hungry, 3 to 5 days) of the female mantis for intercourse, but intercourse during or after the intercourse, will try to eat the spouse. Those who do not female mantis is hungry spouse does not want to eat. Visible female mantis eating her husband's main motivation is that hungry. But in the wild, the female praying mantis is not able enough to eat, then eat the husband to still possible. In 1992, Lawrence (selawrence) in Portugal, the European mantis mating behavior of the first large-scale field research. He observed the mantis mating phenomenon, about 31% occurred in eating behavior husband. In the wild, the female mantis are probably in a moderate hunger. Eat the male mantis, the mantis is also really good for future generations. A study in 1988 showed that the female mantis eats the spouse, number of offspring than their spouses should not eat more than 20%. Riske and Davis also admitted that the European mantis eating husband phenomenon may occur mantis far than any other general, is that they bring bad name to the mantis. However, the male mantis is obviously not willing to be eaten. About two years ago, the United States out of a book entitled "Sex and Death: An Introduction to Philosophy of Biology," a senior textbook. This book introduced the discussion is all about "evolution", "gene" Philosophy of Biology these very specialized problems, and sex and death have nothing to do. Why it has such a title it? The author explains that "because the subject is very interesting," "biosphere is a wonderful and strange, at least was more than we can imagine weird." Can be more aware of the fact that: because of sex, death is eternal biological themes, like love and death is the eternal theme of literary works the same. "But in fact, the praying mantis eat it even with her husband's habits. This is really amazing! Her husband eating it when the female mantis will bite it her husband's neck, and then a bite to eat. Finally , except that it left behind by her husband's two thin wings only. This is really incredible. "From this description we do not know Fabre is looking eyes see, or just an accepted fact in speech. Anyway, as the "Insect" swept the world, the female mantis "The Butcher's Wife" (or, more precisely, "eat husband"), the notoriety and the male mantis "sentimentalism" and also well known by reputation. Biologists have even tried to argue "eat Husband" reasonable. Some said that the female praying mantis eggs requires a lot of energy, the male mantis is an excellent source of energy for the meat. To complete the decapitation of the male praying mantis mating, which has been experimentally confirmed is because the nerve is not in control of mating head, and in the abdomen, and, because some of the central nervous inhibition in the head, but also to facilitate the first to be eaten enhance male sexual performance in it. Male mantis die, really heaven tolerate the. However, very few people observed in the wild, the female mantis eat the husband. We say that the mantis, but the general term for a large class of insects (which is a directory under Insecta - Mantodea), including morphology, ecology and varied than 1500 kinds of mantis. Most mantis species have not been observed in the phenomenon of eating husband, the fame, mainly attributed to two widely distributed mantis: Mantis Chinese broadsword (tenodera aridifolia sinensis) and the European mantis (mantis religiosa). And the two do not necessarily eat mantis husband, the scientists found that those in a high state of hunger (have been hungry 5-11 days) male saw the female mantis mantis to eat pounced to grab little interest in sexual intercourse. A moderate hunger state (hungry, 3 to 5 days) of the female mantis for intercourse, but intercourse during or after the intercourse, will try to eat the spouse. Those who do not female mantis is hungry spouse does not want to eat. However, the researchers report the phenomenon of eating husband are observed in the laboratory, in such conditions, the fear of animals often have unusual move, in its natural state, is it really so? This is true with the reproduction of killing each other, or kill each other simply to feed the stomach? Mantis does not deny killing each other, while the much smaller sub-male praying mantis can easily become a victim of the female mantis, the question is whether there is reproductive significance of this?
