The Banks of the Jinshui River near Dongming Road on Jinshui Road are lined with trees and winding paths, and are a favorite place for nearby residents to walk and relax.
However, after entering May, there are many annoying pests in the locust trees on the riverbank.
That's it! Some lie on the leaves, some spit long silk hanging in mid-air, and others climb all over the painted walls.
These pictures in front of people can't help but get goosebumps, and it is estimated that friends with dense phobia have closed their eyes at this moment!
These small insects, known as "hanging ghosts" by the citizens, are scientifically named huò (inchworms), and they are a pest that specializes in eating the branches and leaves of the national locust.
In this section of the Jinshui River, many citizens passing under the trees are carefully passed, and the inchworms hanging from the trees are bouncing around in the air like dancing, and some fall from the trees and fall on their bodies, which is disgusting.
Many of the locust leaves have been eaten, revealing bare branches.
On the afternoon of May 23, the Future Road Patrol took medicine and sprayed them in a place where the huò was concentrated in an attempt to eliminate the bugs.
Captain Wang of the greening department said that the national locust ruler worm (huò) is the larval form of the national locust ruler moth, and then it becomes a pupa, and when it comes out, it is the national locust ruler moth, and the inchworm is the green "hanging ghost" that we often see, mainly endangering the national locust, the dragon's claw locust, and sometimes also endangering the locust. Eating leaves with larvae, when severe, can cause plant death, is the greening of China's garden, the main leaf-eating pest of street tree species, and the greening department has arranged for spraying.
On the morning of May 24, the reporter went to the Jinshui River on Jinshui Road on Dongming Road again and saw that the inchworm (huò) here had been cleaned up.
According to garden experts, the first generation of larvae entered the peak of harm in mid-May, and when it was severe, it could eat all the leaves of the tree within a week, and spit out feces, which seriously affected the growth and landscape effect of the national locust, and also posed a threat to the urban environment. If citizens and friends also find that there is a large number of inchworms (huò) where there are, they can report to the greening department so that timely measures can be taken to eliminate them.
