average citizen who does not have the suburban area, relatives in the village, and in general are not interested in how grow tomatoes - in a tree, or they dig out of the ground - terribly surprised, even frightened if to show him live that's weirdcreature - Medvedkov.
It is possible that he does not even believe in his earthly origin, thinking that the first contact took place, and the Martians came to us with an unfriendly visit.And knowing that this insect - an ordinary citizen of our gardens, is not likely to believe the information.And yet it is true.This monster is almost affectionate name "mole cricket", and biologists refer it to the Orthoptera insects.Yes, mole cricket is not a beast, as you might think, looking at the furry body.Mole Cricket - an insect.He bites and can eat alive anyone who approach her.And its size can be as high as 10 centimeters.What is not a monster from a horror movie?
Medvedka - underground inhabitants, it is on their own would not come out to the surface.So not only inveterate city dwellers, but even some gardeners may never live to see this "mole", encountering only the destructive traces of his activity.
But the first impression of the type of mole crickets nearly all the same - fear and loathing.It looks extremely unattractive, if not ugly, and it is unclear why it got its name - mole cricket.He bites it must have hurt, otherwise you can not think, looking at the powerful jaws.They need it to gnaw tunnels, as well as to deal with the Met underground mining.A prey for mole crickets is almost everything from plants and ending with fellow insects.With its Latin name means "the cricket-bat," and it can actually roll up at night recitals, notifying relatives about their location.
On the question of whether the mole cricket bites, amateur entomologists not give a direct answer, referring to the fact that cases of bites have been recorded yet.But when you look at an insect covered with harsh hair, no one there is no doubt that if it had not bitten anyone, it is only because no one in his right mind, even gave her the chance.
This insect-survivor, able to live about five years, which, in fact, is not typical for insects.Moreover, she is also an excellent swimmer and can fly quite quickly runs.Gardeners can not choose which of the insects do more harm: Colorado potato beetle, grasshoppers and mole cricket.Bites or not - minor matters, but it is able to collect the harvest is very high quality, which can not have a positive impact on the relationship between the owners of the land, and Medvedkov.With her fighting by using poisons, traps put it, pour boiling water over her burrow and even try to scare ultrasound.But not all seek to destroy this underground cricket called "mole cricket".Bites or not - for many is not so important.
desperately to withdraw from the garden medvedok wildly farmer will know that there are enthusiasts who seek not to destroy, but on the contrary - to create conditions for life and reproduction of this insect.From medvedok make drug that helps tuberculosis and apparently even treating cancer.The basis for the drug is imago mole cricket.Bites Does it cost?In principle, not as "raw material" you can prepare yourself, just to catch insects.They are dried, pounded into powder, mixed with honey and insist night in the dark.That's the whole trick.Only take the medicine it is better to consult their doctor.
