Guoguo's living habits.

Most adults emerge in the morning, and mate after 7- 13 days, lasting about 30 minutes. The males excrete the milky white sticky testis with a diameter of 65438±00mm, and attach to the female genitals, and the mating is over.

At this point, the female insect's abdomen bends forward, and she bites the testis and squeezes the sperm into the seminal vesicle. If she doesn't eat the testis, she can't produce fertilized eggs. Yin Yan can mate many times in his life. The female begins to lay eggs 13-20 days after mating, and the spawning period is very long, and the weight can be increased by about 3 times after pregnancy.

When laying eggs, the abdomen is lifted upward, the ovipositor tube is vertically inserted into the upper part, and the ovipositor flap moves up and down, so that the eggs are laid in the soil and scattered. After spawning, pull out the spawning tube, forcibly bounce the soil backwards to close the spawning hole, and then continue to spawn. Spawning occurs more during the day than at night, starting in early July, peaking in August and ending at the end of September.

Extended data:

Breeding eggs: All the eggs laid in the current year overwinter in the topsoil. In April of the following year, when the weather was wet, the eggs expanded rapidly, increasing by 4 4 -58% in length and 93- 126% in width.

After the eggshell broke during hatching, the worm crawled in another membrane and finally broke the membrane and was unearthed, which lasted about 2 hours. If the weather is dry, the egg period is prolonged or hatched every other year. The egg period is 244-669 days.

Nymphs: Nymphs molt for 4 times, and grab attachments with their heads down. The head and chest molting line is cracked first, and then the front legs, middle feet, hind feet, tentacles and abdomen are molted in turn for about 65 minutes. Then eat molting.
