Survival Master of Wilderness Live

Chapter 268 Blood-Spitting Armor Cricket
When the time was approaching noon, Chen Hu and Isabel were already on their way back to the camp, and the domestic time in the live broadcast room was almost at the stage of having dinner.

After Chen Hu said a few words to Shou Shuang, who had finished filming, he turned off the video connection. The tourists in the live broadcast room were disappointed when they saw this.

But fortunately, the live broadcast is still going on. Chen Hu rides a big zebra, and rushes on the African savannah without any haste. etc.

But at this time, when the horse's hooves stepped on a patch of grass, a five-centimeter-long black bug jumped out instantly. Seeing this, Chen Hu, who had sharp eyesight, immediately got off his horse, and then looked at the armored, headed insect. Wearing a purple gold crown with phoenix wings, cool and unwanted insects.

"Is this a cricket?"

Chen Hu was a little surprised. This insect looked very similar to a cricket, but it was bigger, and it had a thick layer of armor on its body. There were sharp barbs on the surface, so it didn't seem easy to mess with.

The most characteristic feature of a cricket is the two antennae on its head, which grow towards the sky, very similar to the monkey's phoenix-winged purple-gold crown. Tourists in the live broadcast room saw this insect and immediately exploded.

"I'll go! What kind of bug is this, so handsome!"

"It looks a bit like a cricket, but isn't that armor too exaggerated?"

"This cliff is a fighter jet in the insect world, stop it!"

……

At this moment, Isabel also stopped the off-road vehicle, and then walked over to have a look. After seeing the insect on the ground, she couldn't help laughing:
"This is the armor cricket, it has a thick armor to prevent the enemy from swallowing it."

Armor crickets?The tourists were stunned, but this was the first time they heard of this name. Many people quickly learned about it, and after discovering that this kind of insect really existed, they couldn't help but sigh that nature is really amazing.

At this moment, Chen Hu also received the message from the system, so he began to explain:

"In nature, because of different environments, many species will undergo some changes. In the African savannah, for crickets, the protection of the shell alone is not enough."

"The 'battle armor' cricket also has some bizarre and eye-catching tricks to ward off predators like birds, lizards, and more."

As Chen Hu said, he pulled a grass stalk and poked the armor cricket. As a result, the bug sprayed out a green liquid. Not too stinky, but disgusting.

"When they are in danger, they will spit out poisonous blood, or spit out the food they eat to pretend to be sick, so that they don't look so 'delicious'."

"In the same way, some insects such as beetles, katydids (katydids), and grasshoppers, when attacked, will not squirt blood, but will bleed themselves to disgust the predator."

After hearing what Chen Hu said, Isabel was immediately surprised and said:
"I didn't expect you to know this."

Chen Hu smiled, but the armored cricket's "blood spurting" defense mechanism aroused the excitement of all the tourists in the live broadcast room.

"Remember your love: sows can climb trees these days, and it's no wonder crickets spurt blood!"

"Transferring private: You're right! But I think the armor cricket doesn't spray blood, it sprays loneliness."

"Wang Weiwei: Like those trolls? (squinting smile)"

"Shanze Genli: It's a pity that this cricket is poisonous, it seems that it cannot be eaten."

"Clan Mao: Unfortunately +1"

……

In the rapidly scrolling barrage, Chen Hu continued to explain:
"This disgusting defense mechanism also has the downside that armor crickets often gather to find new food sources that contain protein and salt."

"If they find a plentiful food source, they will prey on each other, feast on each other, kill all their competitors, and eat them."

Kind of prey on each other?Tourists are not surprised, because many insects have the habit of cannibalism, but this seems to have nothing to do with negative effects, right?
Chen Hu continued to speak:

"The armor cricket sprays its own poisonous blood, as if to send a signal of injury, thereby attracting the attention of other crickets who like to eat their own kind."

As soon as the words came out, the tourists understood, but Isabel's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that Chen Hu not only knew a lot, but also had a thorough analysis of this insect.

However, the armor cricket that was induced by Chen Hu with a grass stalk to spurt out green blood, after realizing that the danger had passed, cleaned up even a small drop of residue on its limbs very carefully, and then quickly escaped. land, apparently worried about attracting those murderous kin.

Although this defense mechanism can effectively resist predators, it will attract the same kind, so it has advantages and disadvantages.

And Chen Hu has the special effect of being able to eat poisonous insects raw, but such a disgusting thing as armored crickets, let's forget it, at least when he has a choice, he has not yet reached the point where he can't choose what to eat.

Afterwards, the two returned to the camp again, and after about half an hour, they returned to the baobab tree.

Hubi and Sister Pingtou had been sitting at the entrance of the tree hole and waiting. When they saw Chen Hu coming back, they immediately roared and expressed their dissatisfaction.

Chen Hu smiled, if he brought them in the morning, one of the poisonous snakes would be found and one would die, and even the black mamba would still be reduced to a spicy strip.

In fact, it is true. Not to mention poisonous snakes, even pythons with the thickness of a bowl have been killed by honey badgers. Even a large python climbed up a tree in order to avoid honey badgers, but in the end it was still taken from honey badgers. The tree was dragged down.

After Chen Hu started grilling meat for lunch, the two little guys calmed down. Isabel sat aside and processed the research data, but she didn't plan to go out in the afternoon.

Chen Hu was very satisfied with earning [-] experience points in one morning, and although he didn't need to go out to study animals in the afternoon, he still had a lot of things to do.

First of all... Chen Hu looked at Isabel who was typing on the laptop, and then said in his heart:

"Now it's time to make a queen bed."

Armor crickets squirt blood, and so can you!An evil smile appeared on Chen Hu's face, and the tourists in the live broadcast room were inexplicably excited seeing this.

Obviously this is the rhythm of things going on, but the more exciting thing is yet to come. Now that Wu Shuang has already connected via video, what about Liu Tao?

What kind of scene will it be like when Da Taotao appears in the picture?In fact, Chen Hu had wanted to have a video with Liu Tao a long time ago, but he still couldn't bear it at this moment.

If you want to wait until night to make a video, then the question arises, why wait until night?
