After the precipitation of history, we know that locust plagues have brought great losses to human society, but in modern society, such disasters have become sparse and commonplace, what is the reason? It turns out that the richness of China's food culture has led to a wide variety of local foods, and even creatures such as termites and turkeys that have wreaked havoc in other countries cannot make a big splash in China. Alien species, regardless of their origin, can often become a delicacy in people's mouths. For example, African bullfrogs, crayfish, and African giant snails, which are rampant in other regions, are popular food ingredients in our country.
Although locusts are a pest, they are well used in China. Its rich nutritional value makes it a delicacy on people's tables, and many people even taste it without guilt. More interestingly, Chinese medicine has also begun to focus on the medicinal benefits of locusts. It is understood that locusts have significant curative effects on some diseases, especially suitable for people with high cholesterol and obesity. In addition, because locusts contain more nutrients than regular eggs, they are especially beneficial for ** people. It is worth noting that although locusts are rich in nutritional value, they still cause some damage to farmland, so why can we suppress locust plagues?
Studies have found that each locust plague is usually preceded by a severe drought. After intensive research, scientists have found that the arid environment is conducive to the reproduction of locusts, and they are extremely adaptable to food. During the dry season, locusts have an increased appetite and tend to eat crops until they are left with dead branches and leaves. In addition, the dry season is exactly the time when the locusts are in dire need of water. As a result, they absorb water from their food as they eat, which undoubtedly increases the risk of locust infestation.
