Chapter 218

The island owner caught a lot of scorpions when he was a child, and he knows a lot."

"The theory is rich, but it depends on the practical ability. I hope it is not just talk."

"If you don't understand, just ask, why do you need to hold a miner's lamp to catch scorpions?"

The audience in the live broadcast room spoke freely.

"This is not a miner's lamp, but an ultraviolet lamp!"

Jiangnan lifted the lamp on his head and explained: "It's actually very simple to catch scorpions. Why is it simple? Because as long as they are exposed to ultraviolet rays, their bodies will emit a strange fluorescence."

"It's similar to the effect of the Iron Blood Warrior looking at the alien."

While speaking, Jiangnan gently turned over a large stone.

As the ultraviolet lamp shone down, a touch of fluorescence appeared.

"Yes, this little light spot is a scorpion!"

Jiangnan raised the tweezers in his hand while speaking, and quickly clamped the tail.

The most powerful weapon of the scorpion is its tail. Once its tail is pinched, it will be completely controlled and cannot break free.

The scorpion is as long as a thumb. After realizing that it was caught, it waved its tweezers frantically, its tail swung, and the flashing poison needle kept stabbing at the tweezers.

It's a pity that it was just a useless effort.

Jiangnan threw the tweezers into a plastic bottle, screwed on the bottle cap, and imprisoned it forever.

In order to prevent the scorpion from suffocating to death, he also poked a few small holes in the bottle cap to facilitate air circulation.

After entering the bottle, perhaps because it was in an unfamiliar environment, the scorpion finally calmed down.

Little sea dog 404 was full of curiosity about it. He tilted his little head and looked at it seriously. He also put his nose in front of the bottle cap and smelled the scorpion's breath through the small hole.

"As expected of the island owner, he is fast, steady and accurate!"

"Island owner: I admit that I am steady and accurate, can you please stop saying I am fast!"

"To be honest, under the irradiation of ultraviolet light, the scorpion looks pretty green!"

"Keep going! Island owner, please keep going, I want to see more!"

Under the urging of the audience, Jiangnan continued to look for scorpions tirelessly.

Unknowingly, Jiangnan had arrived at the building complex.

After coming here, his speed and efficiency in catching scorpions became faster and faster.

Many scorpions hide in the cracks of the wall, and they will not come out until night falls, and they will run into Jiangnan by chance.

And Jiangnan also has his own principles, he will not catch small scorpions and pregnant female scorpions.

"At this time, scorpions will crawl out of their caves and start looking for food. They are very easy to catch, but I only catch the larger ones."

"You know, although scorpions are ugly and poisonous, they are actually beneficial insects. They will kill locusts and other pests."

Jiangnan encountered another small scorpion and let it go as if he didn't see it.

These are not just what Jiangnan said casually, but he has experienced them personally.

There were a few years when the price of scorpions was very high when I was a child, which set off a craze for catching scorpions. Not only people in one village were catching them, but even villagers from several surrounding villages went out.

Because they caught too many and too hard, the price of scorpions continued to soar in the following years, but no matter how hard the villagers looked for them, they couldn't find them.

Then, various pests began to appear on the crops in the fields, so they had to buy pesticides to spray them.

In the past, crops in the fields were rarely sprayed with pesticides, and they were basically pure natural.

This is why many people think that the fruits and vegetables they ate when they were young are more fragrant and flavorful than those they eat now.

"Woo woo woo!"

Little sea dog 404 kept sniffing with his nose. Suddenly, as if he smelled something, he moved his fat body and rushed over, still calling out.

Jiangnan hurriedly followed and found a large vat in the corner of the house.

And little sea dog 404 was calling out to the bottom of the vat.

"Is there a scorpion under it? I hope you don't fool me!"

Jiangnan muttered half-doubtfully, and then moved the vat away with force.

When he looked down, he was stunned.

The expressions of the audience in the live broadcast room were almost the same as Jiangnan's.

There was indeed a scorpion under the vat, and it was very big, about 20 centimeters long.

"This scorpion is so fat and big!"

"It's so big, this is the first time I've seen such a big scorpion!"

"Fourth brother's nose is good, island owner, please send Fourth brother to me, I will rely on its nose to catch scorpions in the future!"

"Wait! Something is wrong, is this a scorpion? Why is it white?"

"Is there a white scorpion in this world?

Scorpions? Could scorpions also have albinism? "

Jiangnan didn't have time to reply to the audience in the live broadcast room. He ran away quickly, and when he came back, he had a canned glass bottle in his hand.

In the glass bottle, there was some moist soil, and even a grasshopper that he had just caught.

He also threw away the tweezers, used the bottle cap to hold the huge scorpion, and then gently poured it into the glass bottle.

During the whole process, the huge scorpion did not react much, as if it had been acupunctured, and it seemed that it had no physical strength.

When Jiangnan was done, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm so lucky to have picked up a treasure!"

"Now let me tell you that there are really white scorpions in the world, but they are not albinos, but newly born baby scorpions."

"A female scorpion gives birth to at least five or six babies at a time, and at most more than a dozen. ”

“Scorpions are oviparous animals, so their eggs are naturally white. The mother scorpion will lay all the eggs on her back and let them grow naturally into baby scorpions.”

“Because of this, the baby scorpions are born white, and they will all quietly crawl on the mother scorpion's back.”

“When their bodies slowly begin to change color, they will gradually leave the mother scorpion's back.”

“During this period, the mother scorpion will basically stay quietly in one place, not running around, and will not catch food.”

“That is to say, for nearly a week or so, the mother scorpion can only starve to protect her babies.”

“Similarly, the baby scorpions will not eat much before leaving their mother's back, and they will mostly absorb nutrients from their mother.”

“Occasionally, if they are too hungry, they will eat their own eggs.”

“Before pregnancy, the mother scorpion's belly can be twice its own size. When the babies leave its back, its belly will be as thin as a piece of paper. ”

Jiangnan said this, zoomed in the camera, and said: "Everyone look carefully, in fact, this is not a white scorpion, but a pregnant mother scorpion."

"On its back is its baby."

"But at present, it has not yet fully formed, and the baby scorpion should come out within two days."

"And the belly of this mother scorpion is not fat, which means that before giving birth to the baby, it did not eat well. Maybe it was because it was born too hastily and did not have time to fill its stomach. ”

"If it continues to stay here, there will be only two situations. First, the mother scorpion is too hungry and will eat its own baby."

"Second, if the mother scorpion insists on not eating the baby, it will be exhausted and physically exhausted. If other animals come to offend them during this period, it will not be able to protect itself at all, let alone its baby, and the whole family will die tragically in the end."

"In order to better protect and take care of their family, let me take it away."
