The Summer Solstice has passed, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is something that cannot be avoided in summer. If you are right, it is the cicada. Cicadas are written and called cicadas. The ancients said that the Summer Solstice had three phases: "one is deer horn solution, the second is cicada singing, and the third is Pinellia ternata." In fact, the vernacular on our side is called "uh-huh". Because they "uh-huh" yell, it's annoying.

But for children, "uh-huh" is a very funny thing. Like catching cicadas! There are many ways to catch cicadas, such as when the cicada pupa has just emerged from the soil for molting, or by turning on the lamp to catch it in the woods at night. Of course, these are the grasping methods of literary and art children and stupid children. ordinary children are looking for bamboo poles, with a curved circle tied to the top of the bamboo pole and stirred with cobwebs (we call them Boss webs). Then, at noon, while the adults took a nap, facing the sun, followed the cry to find the past, took a cobweb cover, and became. Of course, most of the time, it can not be covered, first, because the branches are blocked, it is not convenient to cover, and the second thing, um, ah, ah,

If you catch it, it's usually packed in a bottle or in a box to play with. But when we were young, we had a new way of playing, and that was to let Umm sing rhythmic songs.

It is said that ah ah zi is a singer, that is to praise them, screaming non-stop, hot weather, in fact, it is quite annoying. It will scream. Uh-huh, it's male, and it has a phonator in the abdomen. On the other hand, the female is silent, but she has ears in the abdomen and can hear the song of the male cicada. Do you understand? Yes, the reason why the male cicada keeps calling, it is in estrus, provoking the female cicada. You can sing love songs if you like.

When you find the pronunciation of the male cicada, you have a new way to play-- hold it with your finger, one finger on the back, one finger on the abdomen, and when it barks, pinch it, loosen it, pinch it again. In this way, the cry of ah, has a sense of rhythm. If you know music and can pinch out a song, it's much better than letting it scream hysterically.

Play with it and let it go. In fact, it is not easy for cicadas in this life. It is said that the larvae go to the ground early to suck the juice from the tree roots and have to stay underground for several years or even more than ten years. After the emergence of the adult worm on the ground, the life span is only 60-70 days. And in this short period of two months, they seize the time to sing love songs and fall in love. ), laying eggs. And then he died. It would be very touching if it were written as chicken soup. I spent more than ten years practicing in the dark, only for the splendor of the summer of these two months. Well, I can't write anymore. (net diagram)
