What's so scary about the worms? How to prevent the hidden wing beetles? In fact, the hidden wing insect is also a "back pot man"

Summer and autumn are the seasons when many insects are active, and there are many kinds of poisonous insects among them. Mosquitoes, ticks and other poisonous insects are really annoying. What would ordinary people do if they suddenly felt a pain in their neck?

Most people slap it subconsciously, and then slap it. Isn't it easy to kill a bug? But there is one kind of bug, if you slap it like this, it is likely to cause serious consequences. This kind of bug is the hidden wing bug.

Once abroad, a man accidentally crushed the octopus that fell on the skin with his index finger, causing burns and stings on the index finger and the skin. At that time, the information about the octopus toxin on the Internet was demonized, and it was accompanied by many terrifying words. Pictures of skin ulcers exaggerate its toxicity.

The man was worried that the toxin of the octopus would lead to his death. In fear and panic, he chopped off his finger. Fortunately, the severed finger was finally picked up by the doctor. What kind of insect is the cryptid, and is it really so poisonous?

Hidden winged beetles are actually a general term for a class of beetles, belonging to the order Coleoptera of the class Insecta. At present, scientists have discovered nearly 37,000 species of Hidden winged beetles.

As the name suggests, the octopus actually has wings, but it is often hidden and can grow up to about 4 centimeters. If the delay is successful, it is called a farmer. Scientists can only see the octopus with the help of a high-speed camera that can take more than 400 pictures per second. How winged insects unfold their wings to take off, land, and finally fold their wings.

There are many members of the cryptoptera family, but there are only more than 200 kinds of poisonous cryptoptera. There are mainly three types of poisonous cryptoptera in my country, namely yellow-footed, black-footed and strange poisonous cryptoptera.

The body color of the poisonous beetle is bright, black and yellow, and it appears in the wet water source in autumn. It has phototropism and algotropism. Feeds on various small insects and decaying organic matter.

People's fear of the stegosaurus mainly comes from some pictures and articles on the Internet, and these pictures and articles almost exaggerate the toxicity of stegosaurus in order to attract attention, which makes people nervous after watching. In fact, more than 90% of cryptoptera are non-toxic, and the toxicity of venomous cryptoptera is not enough to kill.

So where do the horrific pictures of the cryptid on the Internet come from? In fact, in most cases, Cryptoptera has become a scapegoat. Although a lot of exposure to Cryptoptera toxins can also cause herpes and erythema, it is by no means as scary as it appears in online pictures. The originator of the online pictures actually comes from a plant: poison ivy.

Poison ivy is a climbing plant that is mainly distributed in the Americas. Its leaves are similar to the leaves of beans. Although it does not look dangerous, poison ivy contains a lot of urushiol, an allergenic substance.

Urushiol is an oily organic substance. If the skin comes into contact with urushiol inadvertently, it will cause allergic dermatitis. Herpes and erythema will appear on the skin, with burning and swelling pain. For those with obvious allergies, a large amount of urushiol Can even cause death.

The "back pot man" can indeed cause herpes and dermatitis, but the symptoms are mild. This series of symptoms is not caused by the bite of the venomous beetle. After the outflow of the body fluid of the venomous beetle, it will cause a series of symptoms when it comes into contact with human skin. Their venom is just a weapon to protect themselves, and if humans don't harm them, they won't have an allergic reaction.

There are three ways in which the toxins of the cryptoptera erode human skin:

The first is direct infection, which causes allergies by artificially slapping Cryptoptera on the skin; indirect infection, when fingers are contaminated with Cryptoptera toxins, and then touching other parts of the body with fingers to cause infection; Cryptoptera sometimes hides In a towel or clothing, the person unknowingly crumbles it to cause the infection.

In fact, the degree of the poisoning of the venom is related to the amount of exposure to the venom. The venom toxin will not cause danger to life. If a small amount of contact occurs, the skin will only appear flaky erythema and itching. When the amount of toxin is large, it may cause nausea, Symptoms such as vomiting can be recovered within seven to eight days after seeking medical treatment.

The toxin of the cryptoptera can sometimes cause herpes to appear. You can use a cotton swab to gently pop the blisters and rinse with iodophor or saline. The toxin may also cause necrosis of the contacted skin tissue and form a scar, which will fade over time. heal slowly.

Therefore, when you find that the octopus has fallen on your body, before you are not sure whether it is a poisonous octopus, don't slap it blindly, you can gently blow it away, or use tools such as pens and books to poke it away to avoid the skin. In direct contact with the venom of the beetle.

Although some octopus are indeed poisonous, this small insect is beneficial to humans in a broad sense, and octopus is a veritable beneficial insect.

In the control of agricultural pests, cryptoptera has also made its own contribution. It is the natural enemy of many pests. It can capture pests that harm crops such as corn, rice, etc., including aphids, Lygus bugs, cotton spider mites and other pests are hidden Wingworm food.
