How to Raise a Greater Brown Trigonidium? Raising Methods and Precautions

The greater brown trigonidium is an insect whose call is very pleasant to hear, and many people choose to raise it in order to listen to its call, so how do you raise a greater brown trigonidium?

1. Living habits of the greater brown trigonidium

1. The brown trigonidium is highly active in calling, calling both day and night, and calling even more happily and loudly in the evening and early morning, with a rather urgent and fast rhythm.

2. It is oviparous and lays eggs underground. When the plant stalks in the cage wither and die, large numbers of newly hatched small larvae can be seen emerging from the soil.

3. The brown trigonidium has a rather small body, with a body length of only about 8 mm, and is golden yellow all over; the male's wings are glossy and shiny, transparent, with a relatively large sound-producing area.

4. The greater brown trigonidium has a body length of 7-8 mm, a body width of about 2.5 mm, and antennae 30-35 mm long; the head and the pronotum each have 2 broad bands, and the outer side of the hind femur also has 2 dark stripes, while the inner side near the end has 1 dark round spot.

2. How do you raise a greater brown trigonidium?

You need to prepare a transparent glass rearing box or plastic rearing box; the box should be rather spacious in volume, and a rectangular shape is best. Then prepare the foods the greater brown trigonidium likes to eat, such as pumpkin, apple, watermelon rind, and so on. Greater brown trigonidia cannot be kept together, otherwise they will fight, and in winter you also need to pay attention to keeping them warm.

The reason for choosing a transparent glass rearing box or plastic rearing box is that keeping them in a transparent plexiglass box allows the keeper to admire their pretty, slender figure at any time; the volume of the rearing box should preferably be 20cm×12cm×8cm.

When feeding, you can occasionally also give a little meaty food such as small maggots to increase its nutrition, make its constitution stronger, and make the tone of its call more wonderful and pleasant.

Brown trigonidia mostly live in low shrubs and among mugwort and weeds in the suburbs or mountainous areas, and they have a certain ability to resist cold, but in the severe winter season you still need to pay attention to taking heat-preservation measures for them to ensure they safely overwinter; if the measures are appropriate, they can be kept until March-April of the following year.
