Have you ever studied monkeys in the summer solar terms?

Yes! Cicada monkeys are cicada larvae. Now the cicada is still chirping outside, and the larvae must be there.

Do you know? Cicada is a pest that feeds on sap. When there are too many cicadas, trees will even die in pieces. It is the pest that fruit farmers hate most, but its larvae are delicious, called cicada monkeys.

At the end of June every summer, it begins to climb out of the ground and deform on the trunk. This process will last for a while, so you can catch cicadas in June and July.

Because cicadas are cicada larvae, they can't fly during this time and move very slowly. So coming out at night can reduce death, and catching cicadas can start around 8 pm in summer. Cicadas are usually on the branches at this time, so it is easy to catch them.

According to the analysis, monkeys are rich in amino acids, protein and trace elements, among which amino acids are 46.7%, potassium is 0.58%, calcium 1.6mg/kg and zinc is 82.2mg/kg, which has many health-care and health-preserving effects, such as tonifying deficiency, lowering blood fat, lowering cholesterol and resisting aging.
