Description

Beijing, Sep 21 (EFE).- A cricket throws its opponent through the air and falls belly up a few centimeters away. The men who surround the “ring” let out a cry of admiration, except for one, who smiles resignedly and leaves a bundle of bills on the table: the arthropod he bet on has lost the fight.

They will start to prepare grasshopper every September 15, then the business will peak in October and the hustle and bustle will continue until Chinese New Year. After that, the peak season ends.2. Cricket farmers collect some insects in the wild in summer and leave some of their eggs to hatch in winter. Although these insects are pests for crops, they are also a good source of income for farmers, because some people like to have these insects as pets, so it also helps them (farmers) earn more money.
