The most terrifying thing in summer is thunder and rain!
But apart from thunder and rain, a trivial little insect is actually very scary! What scares
is not how powerful it looks; nor is it how disgusting it looks!
Its appearance can be described as ordinary!
But its reputation is known to many people, but it may have different names in different places. Its name is - Momo!
silently
Maybe it got its name because it always remains silent and moves quietly, right? But its name has not become unknown because of this! On the contrary, it made many people talk about it.
Its appearance is similar to a mosquito, but it is smaller than a mosquito, less than the size of a grain of rice, and its bite is more powerful than a mosquito.
Mosquitoes often move at night, and they make a buzzing sound that makes it difficult for people to sleep well.
But people have many ways to deal with it. A plate of mosquito coils and a bottle of insecticide are enough to make it disappear and no longer affect people's lives.
But this little bug is different. It is silent. Even if it flies to you and sucks your blood, you won't feel it. You can't hear the sound, and you can't see it if you don't pay attention, but by the time you find it, it has already eaten and drank enough and flew away.
left behind patches, even large patches, because they were silently ferocious and did not act alone. These patches are extremely itchy and become more itchy the more I scratch them.
Momo is not a specialty of any place.
This little bug is not a specialty of any place. It is distributed in many places in my country, including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Sichuan, Guizhou, etc. It exists everywhere, but each place may have a different name.
Regarding the experience of silence, fishermen may be more accurate, because there are more silences by the river. I remember when I was fishing, I always wore long clothes, long sleeves, pants and socks, but my exposed hands, neck, and face were still bitten in big and small bags!
The key is to hold the hand of fishing rod , and you have to keep hitting "Mo Mo", otherwise in the blink of an eye, several "Mo Mo" will bite you on your hand.
It's better for "rough men" fishing by the river, but it will be even worse for "little fresh meat"! Young ladies who like to play by the river are also the focus of "Mo Mo". As for children, they are often bitten by "Mo Mo" to the point of being miserable and even crying.
Momo's real name
Momo is just the name for it in some or most areas. In some places, it is called "Momo mosquito", Momo mosquito, chicken mosquito, wheat boy, small bite and so on. The real names of
are not the ones mentioned above. Its written name is - Midge . Both it and mosquitoes are insects of the order Diptera , but mosquitoes belong to the family Midiidae , and midges belong to the family of science, oh No, it belongs to the family and family . It has nothing to do with liberal arts and science, or even Cyprinidae .
Midges are not a specialty of one place in our country, nor are they a specialty of our country. They are distributed all over the world, even in cold places, and they can be found in summer. Therefore, people in northern my country should also have an impression of it.
There are many types of midges. There are about 5,000 species of midges in the world, but only 1,700 species can suck blood. Other midges do not suck blood. In fact, midges not only absorb human blood, they also bite animals. In some places, they are called "chicken mosquitoes" because they also bite chickens.
Being bitten by a midge feels extremely itchy, but besides that, what other harms does it have?
In addition to biting people, midges are more annoying because they prevent people from working peacefully and constantly harass people. For example, when fishing in the summer, especially on cloudy days, you may just play "silent" all day long.
For hard-working farmers, it is also very annoying. The sweating and bites of midges and other mosquitoes make people upset and unable to concentrate on their work.
People who go out for activities or enjoy the shade after meals will still be disturbed by it, especially those who are close to bamboo forests, grass, or crop fields, which are even more "excruciating".
Everyone's experience with midges is not exactly the same. Some people may only feel a little itchy; but some people may cause allergic reactions, redness and swelling.
Moreover, midges, like mosquitoes, some feed on blood, so they may also become vectors for the spread of some diseases. Therefore, if you are doing outdoor activities for a long time, try to take protective measures to avoid being bitten for a long time or in a large area. Of course, it is best to avoid being bitten as much as possible.
Midge prevention and control
For friends in rural areas, if they are bitten by midges, some rural mosquito control weeds, such as mugwort leaves, chrysanthemum leaves, etc., can be used to smear them. There is really nothing to use, but saliva (saliva) can also be used, hahaha. This is not just for entertainment. Saliva contains protease , which can decompose the toxins of midges. Maybe this is called one thing reducing another thing, right?
In addition, try to stay away from places with overgrown weeds, try not to go into small woods, try not to go to cool and humid places, do not plant too dense flowers and plants, etc., which can effectively prevent the breeding of midges. You can also plant some plants like mosquito repellent to keep midges away.
If you want to be famous for a long time, you can apply some toilet water , cooling oil, even garlic water, pepper water, etc. Of course, don't use seasonings such as "soy sauce, chili powder, and edible salt".
In places where midges are too rampant, try to wear long clothes, long sleeves, long pants, and socks when going out. It can protect a large area and effectively repel small exposed areas of skin. Otherwise, you may lose sight of one thing and miss the other after being bitten. Covered in "bags"!
Conclusion
Midges are loved differently by everyone. They prefer those with tender skin and white skin. At the same time, I like the young more than the old. Suddenly, I had a strange thought. Those who like to ask girls to go fishing at the river, or those who like to ask girls out to play, might they simply want to find someone to attract midge bites, so as to avoid being bitten by midges themselves?
In fact, the best way to prevent midges is to use mosquito repellent . As mentioned before, plants such as mugwort can be used to smear mosquito bites after bites. In fact, its smell and ingredients can also Prevent mosquito bites.
But mugwort is not available everywhere, and its taste is also quite special. There are some mosquito repellent water or mosquito repellent spray made with mugwort on the Internet, which are also very good. Especially female compatriots or children are most likely to be bitten by midges and other mosquitoes, so it is necessary to keep a bottle at home.
If you go out, take protection against midges and other mosquitoes. Don’t just worry about sun protection. Mosquito protection is also very important. If you are allergic to midge bites, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Don’t delay, you are allergic to midge bites. I won’t post the pictures, just remember not to be careless. Are there this kind of midge called "Mom" in your hometown? Have you ever seen this kind of bug? What is it like to be bitten by it? Everyone is welcome to leave a message and communicate.
