Jin Lingzi is mainly distributed in Sichuan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and other provinces in the Yangtze River basin in China, with a small amount in other areas. In many areas, it may happen twice a year. The first generation of adults emerged in August and began to sing after beginning of autumn. The second generation of adults emerged in early June and sang 65438+ 10.
Jin Lingzi often lives in two kinds of environments, and catching gold bugs should also be carried out in the following two places.
One is to catch it on the back of the green leaves. The catching tool is generally a glass bottle with a slightly larger caliber and a paper funnel with a paper mouth. Cut off the tip and insert the funnel mouth into the bottle. When grasping, aim the paper funnel at Jin Lingzi's head and catch the bug from behind with your other hand. This insect has phototaxis, and at this time it will jump to the bright glass bottle mouth. There are a large number of Jin Lingzi, and dozens of them can often be caught per hour/kloc-0.
The second is to catch in grass and leaves, and the above method is also adopted. Jin Lingzi, who is mostly caught in the grass, is not strong in physical strength and poor in singing. It is better to climb on bamboo poles and tree trunks than Jin Lingzi. It is worth noting that Jin Lingzi, who climbed on bamboo poles and tree trunks, crawled quickly and moved flexibly. He often escapes from the gap when he swoops with his hand, so it is difficult to catch him. The catcher must be very clever, accurate, agile and flexible.
