Is it illegal to catch golden cicadas? Is it illegal to catch wild monkeys?

According to the 2020**, China's law does not clearly stipulate this. But the state calls for the protection of wild animals and the elimination of wild meat, which does not belong on the table.

Although cicadas are pests of agriculture and forestry, they also have a good side. Due to the unique flavor of the golden cicada, rich nutrition, and good medicinal and food health care effects, with the continuous improvement of people's living value level, as a highly nutritious, green and delicious golden cicada, the market demand is also increasing, and the first is also increasing.

Many regions in China have the habit of eating golden cicadas, Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Shanghai, Beijing, Shandong, Guangdong and other provinces and cities are particularly popular, and the most common way to eat is "fried golden cicadas". The golden cicada nymph (known turtle) has extremely high nutritional value and unique taste, can be the best among edible insects, at present, the golden cicada has become a delicacy for guests of all grades.

Freshly unearthed golden cicada nymphs contain protein, fat. Total phosphorus, calcium, zinc. It is a rare high-protein, low-fat game delicacy, a plate of "fried golden cicada" can be sold for forty or fifty yuan, and in some star-rated restaurants it can be sold for hundreds of yuan a plate.

Catching the "golden cicada" (commonly known as: knowing the monkey) is not a crime. The edible method is mainly fried, the nutritional value is particularly high, per 100g ** cicada nymph contains 72g of protein, 15g of fat, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, zinc, iron ash and a variety of vitamins and trace elements, the human body must have amino acids account for the total amount of amino acids In addition, it also contains essential calcium, phosphorus, iron and a variety of vitamins and trace elements.

The golden cicada (scientific name: cryptotympana atrata fabricius), also known as grasshopper, black cicada, etc., is a representative species of cicada insects. The golden cicada has high nutritional value and medicinal value, especially the skin of the golden cicada, which is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, and the idiom of the golden cicada shelling also comes from it.

Although the cicada's living territory is becoming less and less, its number has not decreased, and now in order to meet the market demand, some people have used artificial breeding methods to obtain it. The adult cicada is 40-48 mm long and has a wingspan of 125 mm. It is black generally, and there is luster and is metallic.

Compound eyes pale russet. There are yellowish-brown spots on the anterior edge of the head** and above the cheeks. The dorsal plate of the mesothoracic plate is broad, with a yellowish-brown "X" shaped bulge.

No, I see that many cities in the south will eat golden cicada pupae in summer. Or eat golden cicadas, and there are a lot of them, and they can't stop screaming, it's good to catch them!

Because of the epidemic, the just-issued wildlife fasting record prohibits the consumption or sale of wild golden cicadas!

However, we also understand that there are many places where people specialize in planting or breeding golden cicadas, and there are some snakes and the like, so I believe that the state will have relevant documents for this!

It seems that catching golden cicadas is now a crime, and cicadas often belong to any protected animals.

Anyway, we don't allow arrest here.

It seems that there is no such regulation, and there are still breeding.

It is not illegal to catch the wild. At present, China's laws do not clearly stipulate this.

From mid to late June (around the summer solstice) to early August (around the beginning of autumn), it is the best time to harvest in the fields. Among them, the weather in early July or after the rain is most concentrated. The nymph (chiri-tortoise) digs out of the soil with a pair of jagged forefeet in the soft and wet ground, and after crawling out of the ground, it makes a short movement on the ground.

Then climb along the trunk or trellis to prepare for molting The next morning at 4 6 o'clock in the morning to emerge into an adult cicada, which can be illuminated by a flashlight, and at night it can be caught on the ground under the tree and on the trunk. Or catch the young cicadas in the trees early in the morning.

At the beginning of 2020, the "wild ban", known as "the strictest in history", was promulgated, and except for the animals included in the catalogue of livestock and poultry genetic resources, which are domestic animals and poultry, which can be raised, sold and eaten, other wild animals can no longer be raised, sold and eaten. However, the monkey was not included in the catalogue of livestock and poultry genetic resources.

How many years have we eaten such a delicacy, but now we can't eat it because it belongs to "wild meat"? Since there is no clear rule that it is forbidden to eat monkeys, the author consulted the relevant departments of the county, and the reply was that although there is no explicit provision that it is forbidden to eat, it is clear that monkeys belong to terrestrial wild animals in the "wild ban order", and the relevant regulations on wildlife protection are applicable, and not only can they not be eaten, but they cannot be caught.

Some people have said that since the monkey is applicable to the "wild ban", then it is always okay not to catch it yourself, nor to eat the wild monkeys in the natural environment, but to eat the specially bred monkeys, right? The answer is still no, why can't artificially farmed meat belong to wild meat, and can't be eaten?

This is because, after the "ban on wilderness" came into effect, the breeding of monkeys, bamboo rats, snakes, bullfrogs and other characteristic species did not have a breeding license. Since there is no breeding certificate, it is impossible to judge whether it is artificially farmed or wild, so it cannot be eaten in captivity.

Some people may have questions, now I still see people eating, and there are people in the countryside at night, why does no one care? In fact, no one cares about it now, it doesn't mean that it is legal and compliant, and it doesn't mean that no one will take care of it in the future. In any case, since it does not meet the latest regulations, it is better not to catch it again.

For ordinary people, not eating and not catching monkeys actually has little impact, but for monkey farmers, the impact is relatively large. Like bamboo rats, bullfrogs and other characteristic farmers, now know that monkey farmers are about to withdraw, fortunately, there are exit subsidies, if you want to breed again, you can choose pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and so on.

The easiest and quickest way to catch it at night is as follows:1. Find a hole to know that you live 30 50 cm below the soil, in order to be able to unearth and shed shells on time at night, you will dig a hole in advance, you can catch golden cicadas through these holes before dark. This type of hole is small and thin, and when you touch the soil at the entrance of the hole with your finger, it will fall, revealing a relatively large hole, and you will feel it when you put your finger into it.

2. Dig a nest. Each branch of the tree contains 100 200 cicada eggs, but only 10 or 30 can grow into them. Since it is on the same egg, it basically goes into the soil in the same place.

In addition, the golden cicada has a small range of activity in the soil, so we can use a cicada hole to dig out the entire nest.

3. Flashlight. After dark, a flashlight is used to illuminate the tree, and the most common method is to catch the golden cicada that has already climbed the tree. The brightness of the flashlight light is not too important, but it must be concentrated, according to the law from near to far, from bottom to top, from positive to negative, and follow the light without letting go of every tree and every treetop.

At present, there is no legal protection in our country to know and can be captured.

You might as well ask if it's illegal to kill rats, flies, and mosquitoes.

The golden cicada appears in month and ends in August, with the highest reaching between June and July, and is usually caught from early to mid-July. After the golden cicada completes the whole life process of the larval stage in the soil, the mature larvae burrow out of the soil from late May to August, crawl to the branches of shrubs, the stems of weeds, etc., fix them to the bark and branches and leaves with the thorns of their claws and forefeet, and molt and feather into adults. <
