How to raise the praying mantis breeding method

Many people now want to raise, but most people do not know how to raise praying mantis. The following is the method of breeding of the mantis that I have carefully organized for you. Let's take a look.

This method of praying mantis The life cycle of the mantis is about nine months to one year. From eggs, nymphs to adults, because the praying mantis is an incomplete perverted insect, there is no stage of pupae. From nymphs to adults, the female praying mantis can peel off seven to nine times, and the male praying mantis peels six times. Although the praying mantis is the top of the food chain of the insect world, it is necessary to prevent parasites such as ironworms. The mantis in the wild is usually eaten with the smaller bugs than him, and there is also the opportunity to eat animals such as small rats, birds, and geckos.
The mantis can be played and will not fly away. The praying mantis only needs to eat a meal for three to five days. It does not need to take a lot of time to take care. On average, one praying mantis only takes an hour to take care of it. Most of the mantis mantis Can not reproduce alone, and will not cause ecological hazards. The space of praying mantis occupies very small, very quiet, mantis is non -toxic, and can also be used as medicine.
Mespasis is different from other pets. The shape of the praying mantis in the pet world is small. You must rely on insect slaves to observe them often, look at their needs, and rely on the care of insects to eat, drink, and sleep. The insect slaves with bad eyes need to prepare a magnifying glass.
The mantis is a predation insect and likes to capture live insects, especially with small worms in exercise. The young nymph before the 3rd, if there is no living insect, it is difficult to raise it successfully. Therefore, before the praying mantis egg block incubation, living insect feed, such as aphids and house flies. The aphid has a strong breeding force and is easy to raise. In the flower pots or small plastic yang, you can plant the cruciferous plants. After the seedlings are erected, it is inoculated and the aphids are inoculated to allow it to reproduce for use. Other feed insects include large waxy, corn buns, vegetable powder butterflies, soil elements, yellow pink worms, etc.
This 3 praying mantis nymphs after the age of 3, and it is difficult to meet the needs by limited live bait. Therefore, artificial feed must be prepared. The following introduces three successful artificial feed formulas:
Formula 1: Pour 250 ml of water into the container first, take a small amount of water, put 5 grams of yeast slices into the water to dissolve, then 50 grams of eggs of eggs The yellow, 20 grams of honey, and 20 grams of sucrose are all poured in. After being fully stirred, put it in the pot and rush to cool.
Formula 2: 100 grams of fresh pork liver (other animal liver), washed and chopped into a paste, add 50 grams of sucrose, mix well.
Formula 3: 100 ml of water, 40 grams of fresh pork liver, 20 grams of aphid powder, 5 grams of bean powder, 20 grams of sucrose, 20 grams of agar, 1 gram of yeast tablets. When using the above three formulas, pay attention to sanitary disinfection. After cooling the feed, it can be stored in the refrigerator for a short time, and it is available on demand.
The praying mantis can be purchased from insect shops or Taobao. Novices recommend raising the praying mantis nymphs of the fourth or more. Generally, the female praying mantis has a long life, the appetite is better, and the head is relatively large. You can start with some cheap mantis first, and generally do not buy more than 50 yuan first. It is recommended to raise a large Chinese knife, wide -belly praying mantis, African bud wing mantis, Lim green praying mantis, ax praying, elegant praying, etc.
The praying mantis also needs to drink water. Generally, the mantis can keep the humidity of 50 % to seventy. The nymphs of the first to three -year -olds will drink water droplets by themselves, and they can spray some water droplets for them. Those who are more than three years old are best to feed him with a dropper, squeeze a small water droplet, put it on the mouth of the mantis, the mouth of the dropper mouth, Do not leave the praying mantis mouth. He thirsty will drink himself. After drinking enough, he will push away the dropper without drinking. Do not shake your hands, otherwise the praying mantis will be scared, and the next time you feed water and feed will increase the difficulty. I personally recommend that the small dropper in the pregnancy test bag is best. The insect friends who can't buy can use chopsticks to dip the water to feed. The time for feeding and feeding is the same, and it can be fed once every three days. It is recommended to use the cold water that worm slaves drink to ensure that there are no parasites or bacteria.
The friends who started feeding can prepare a small cage for their praying mantis, which puts the items of the branches and grass, and it is enough to clean up on time.
Thenasiers of praying mantis breeding technology (1) The collection and preservation of seed eggs
three kinds of praying mantis all over the winter with eggs on the branches, trunk, grass stems, walls, or stones. Eggs can generally start in mid -November. When picking up, you must first observe. Select the large egg block, thick surface protective layer, strong gloss, and no high -quality, robust eggs with no breaks, wear and parasitic holes outside the egg block, and cut off with a section of the adhesive branches of the egg block. , Insert a small canned bottle with a small water, wrap it in gauze, place it in an empty room without mice, no rumors, etc. The room temperature should be 0-5c. When the room temperature rises to 1512 the following year, it should be observed in time. At this time, the egg sheath is slightly swollen than before the winter, indicating that the particle embryos in the sheath begin to develop. If it is necessary to incubate in installments, it is easy to feed management. When the room temperature is about 10 ° C, it should be stored in the refrigerator of 5 one IOE. When the temperature is stable at 20C, it is the beginning of its starting incubation. Pay attention to check in time and move the egg block to the breeding cage. When the temperature rises to 2U 2512, it will enter the heyday of incubation.
(2) The breeding technology of the praying mantis
1. Preparation of the breeding appliances
The eggs in the egg sheath should be prepared before breeding. The use of praying mantis is: several wooden cages made of 2 meters X1.5 meters made of 20 meters of iron gauze; several tin frame gauze with a diameter of 30 cm and 50 cm high; Or a short perennial bushes, as a place where the mantis is inhabited, is also an isolated substance that prevents each other; flower pots and potted plants with 35 cm diameter; small boxes and knives for artificial feed; refrigerators that save feed.
. Preparing for natural living feed
Mu Yans is a predating insect. Whether the nymph period or adult period, I like to capture live insects, especially the small worms in the exercise Young nymphs, if there is no living worm, it is difficult to raise success. Therefore, before the praying mantis egg block incubation, living insect feed should be prepared. There are mainly aphids and house flies. The aphid has a strong breeding force and is easy to raise. In the flower pots or small plastic yang, you can plant the cruciferous plants. After the seedlings are erected, it is inoculated and the aphids are inoculated to allow it to reproduce for use. House flies can be raised in large quantities of artificially prepared feed.
. The preparation of artificial feed
This 3 years old praying mantis nymph eaten a large amount of food, it is difficult to meet the limited live bait to meet the large amount of survival and the spawning process of the spawning process? Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for preparation Artificial feed to supplement the lack of feed. Formula: First pour the container of 250 ml of water, first take a small amount of water, put 5 grams of yeast tablets into the water to dissolve, and then the 50 grams of egg yolk, 20 grams of honey, and 20 grams of sucrose are all poured well. After the water is fully stirred, the people are boiled in the pot, and the cooling is cooled. It should not be too long to place the feed, otherwise the praying mantis does not like to eat. Generally prepared every other day.
. The breeding technology of the praying mantis
The mantis egg block will hatch inch, which can be moved to the cage or cover with the chiefs of the eggs. In the cage, it can be put into density at about 50 heads per square meter, or a valid egg block is fixed on the dry branches of the shrub. Or reed foil and other covers, generally to be covered with sunny rain, reveal sooner or later, and cover at noon. The little praying mantis nymph began to eat after more than 10 hours. Before the age of 3, the insects are weak, and the artificial feed placed should be made into a paste. It is painted with a small stick on the dry branches or hanging coatings. To cast less at one time, observe the food situation at any time and gradually replenish the amount of feed. A lot of cooking at a time, not only waste, but also anorexia in the old feed, and will attract ants or plant food mites to fight for food, disturbing the normal life of the mantis.
Plash when nymphs develop to 3 years old, they can be put into steamed artificial feed, placed in small paper cylinders or rubber plots, fixed on the wall or branch of the cage or branches. The praying mantis is easy to find and convenient for feeding. It is necessary to check frequently, eliminate the food, and replace the new ingredients. At this time, large live feeds such as flies should be put in time to avoid their predation habits, causing individuals to kill each other.
This breeding of the praying mantis requires a waste carton to wrap the surroundings with a transparent tape, open a hole above, 2.3cm from the long, width and breeding box, cover it with the yarn net A hole of 20cm long and 10cm wide, and then cut a piece of paper that is enough to cover the small hole from the just opened large hole, fix it with insect needles, open it in the feed when feeding, and then close it. Put some fine sand in the box, and put some branches for praying mantis climbing. Food can be fed 1 to 3 years old aphids, 3 ~ 6 -year -old fruit flies, mosquito, flies, 6 or more age can be fed, lover, bread worms, dragonflies, etc. Essence
