Saturday, September 28th.

Yang Bin woke up very late in the morning. When he got up and was having dinner with Yuya in the hotel, he just turned on his phone and received a call from Zeng Zhicheng.

Generally speaking, Zeng Zhicheng would not call at this time, mainly because he was afraid of disturbing Bin Ye's sleep. In most cases, Bin Ye would have a hard time at night, so he would wake up late in the morning, and sometimes he would even turn off his phone and sleep hard.

But since Zeng Zhicheng called, something urgent must have happened, so Yang Bin couldn't help but frown when answering the phone.

"Bin Ye! Our plantation was destroyed!" Zeng Zhicheng even had a little fear in his voice when he spoke.

"What's going on? Tell me slowly." Yang Bin couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard Zeng Zhicheng's tone.

Of course, for Zeng Zhicheng, the destruction of Binye's plantation must be a big deal, and it may not make Binye angry. But for Yang Bin, he no longer relies on these industries now. On the contrary, he has made additional money for some industries that are temporarily poorly managed.

"I was eaten up by bugs overnight! This bug is so terrible. I am now at the plantation site, all over the mountains and fields, and there are bugs everywhere!" Zeng Zhicheng still had some tremolo when he spoke, as if he had uncontrollable fear.

"Word? What insect? The Zerg launched an attack on the human race?" Yang Bin blinked a few times, obviously not focusing too much.

"It's just bugs... caterpillars are everywhere, and they turn all the leaves on the mountain, including the cherries, grapes, apples, pears in our plantation... everything is bare! I can't beat the medicine... they are all bugs!" Zeng Zhicheng was still trembling when he spoke, not because of fear, but because of disgust.

Because at this moment, the caterpillars were crowded together and kept squirming, and there were still a few more on his body at some point, and some even crawled into his collar and neck.

"It's just a worm disaster, right? I couldn't explain it clearly for a long time!" Yang Bin finally understood that it was either a science fiction incident, such as the Zerg invading the human race, or a common insect disaster in rural areas.

The weather is particularly hot this year. After the autumn begins, the temperature in Yunsha County has been relatively warm. It is not surprising that there will be a sudden insect storm.

"Yes, yes, it's an insect scourge." Zeng Zhicheng quickly changed his statement. He was too excited to say it for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly.

"I'll go over and take a look. Let's see what's going on." Yang Bin hung up Zeng Zhicheng's phone and was with Yama. After having dinner, Xie Rongchang slowly walked out of the hotel gate.

Chang Jingjing and Dai Hongfei called one after another, talking about the incident of insect disasters. It seems that this insect disaster was not only a complete outbreak in Yang Bin’s Dutou Mountain Plantation, but has affected agricultural growers in the entire Yunsha County.

"Shouldn't this be the business of the Agriculture Bureau?" Yang Bin was a little strange about the phone calls between Chang Jingjing and Dai Hongfei one after another. So he asked Dai Hongfei.

"The county agriculture bureau and the health bureau received the news early in the morning. Now they are all here, but they are at a loss. If the insect disaster continues like this, Yunsha County will have no grains this year. You will be investing in the early stage. The county government guides all farmers to plant grapes, cherries, apples, etc., and now it's all over! When the insect disaster is over, the farmers will have no income, and then it's probably a group incident!" Dai Hongfei said to Yang Bin very seriously.

"I'll go!" Yang Bin finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and it was related to him.

Because of the mezzanine space, Yang Bin encouraged farmers to build plantations in the early stage, and promised that as long as the fruits bear fruit, they would be purchased at a high price regardless of the quality of the fruits.

With such good conditions, and loans to farmers and providing technical support and seedlings for them to build plantations, farmers in most areas of Yunsha County have more or less rebuilt some plantations.

Now it's great, all of them were eaten up by the caterpillars.

Dai Hongfei was right. All the things were eaten by caterpillars, and the farmers had no harvest. They would definitely have to go to the government if they had no food to eat. Then maybe a group incident would break out.

Yang Bin stood on the street and answered Dai Hongfei's call. As he was talking, a caterpillar fell from the tree and fell into front of him with a "boom!", but he did not fall to death. He quickly arched his body and crawled forward squirmingly.

Yang Bin squatted down and caught the caterpillar and took it to his eyes. The caterpillar looked very unhappy after being caught. He struggled and twisted in Yang Bin's fingers, and then waved his two knife-like forelimbs and the extremely ugly mouthparts, which made Yang Bin's scalp numb.

After checking with Dai Hongfei, Yang Bin confirmed the caterpillar species in front of him, which was the caterpillar that appeared in the insect scourge at this moment. It was obvious that they had invaded the county town, and their figures had begun to appear on the street trees beside Yang Bin.

"I have consulted people. It is called the American mantis moth. It is a very ancient species that has disappeared in modern times. I don't know why it appeared in Yunsha County." Dai Hongfei said to Yang Bin.

"Does this thing bite people?" Yang Bin looked at the caterpillar in his hand and then asked Dai Hongfei.

"They do not bite people, but their front paws occasionally hurt people when they come into contact with people. Their recipes are very wide, and they eat almost all green plants. Wherever they go, as long as the green things are all gnawed, you can go to the disaster area to see it. This scene is simply terrible." Dai Hongfei and Yang Bin said, and after receiving the report of the insect disaster, they obviously rushed to the scene as soon as possible.

At this moment, Yang Bin didn't pay attention. The short forelimb of the mantis moth pinched on his finger suddenly scratched Yang Bin's finger, and a bloody mouth was cut on it.

"Damn!" Yang Bin threw the mantis moth to the ground and rolled heavily into a pile of meat paste.

"What?" Dai Hongfei asked Yang Bin, probably because he heard that he was cursing and was a little unsure.

"I was cut by this bug." Yang Bin looked at the wound on his finger and let it heal automatically after a few seconds, but his hatred for this bug soared in an instant.

"Is this bug also in the county?" Dai Hongfei confirmed to Yang Bin.

"It seems yes." Yang Bin raised his head, pushed his vision towards the canopy above his head, and pulled the branches close to his view. Only then did he find that many such caterpillars and their gauze had appeared on the branches and leaves of the street trees in front of the hotel!

Before eating, these caterpillars will wrap the food area with many layers of almost airtight gauze mesh. Among these white gauze mesh, there are often hundreds or even thousands of caterpillars. If you climb a tree and accidentally pull the gauze mesh on your head, hundreds of caterpillars will fall out from inside and fill your neck.

Yang Bin called Chen Pingping and asked her to accompany Yu Ya and Xie Rongchang. He went to Muyun Villa by himself, asked someone to prepare a helicopter and took Sun Piaoyun directly to Dutou Town.

According to the feedback from various places, Lutou Mountain is the hardest hit area of ​​this insect disaster, and the disaster situation in other townships is slightly lighter. Moreover, comrades from the Agricultural Bureau believe that the disaster situation was first transmitted from Dutou Mountain.

The American mantle moth is different from ordinary moths or mantis insects. It is a relatively marginal species and is not even easy to classify.

American mantis moths need to eat a lot during the larval and adult stages. After feathering into moths, they like to migrate in a large range like locusts, and can fly dozens of kilometers a day along the wind. After migrating and finding a new food source, they start laying eggs in large quantities. As long as the temperature is appropriate, they can hatch into larvae within one day, and then start eating everything they can eat wildly.

It is not just trees, including vegetables and grass. They eat everything, so their harm is not only to make farmers lose their grains, but even to eat up all the grass, vegetables and other things, cattle, sheep and other livestock that rely on grass to starve to death.

Therefore, the American mantle moth is called the king of insect scourges, and experts in the agricultural industry are all afraid of it. But fortunately, this species mysteriously disappeared before the emergence of human society, but unexpectedly it suddenly appeared in Yunsha County now.

If some landlords have better natural environments and American mantle moths appear in a small number, they will generally not be able to become a climate because they will attract a large number of birds to prey on them and strictly control their number.

However, in China, because of its blind pursuit of economic development, it has caused serious damage to the natural ecological environment. Birds, especially birds that mainly prey on insects, have almost disappeared under the application of pesticides and under the influence of many factors in recent years.

Therefore, after the American mantis moth appeared, there were no natural enemies in China, so it suddenly reproduced so rapidly.

Another reason is that pesticides and pesticides, which are currently popular on the market, have very limited effects on American mantle moths, and there are no special pesticides that can effectively kill them.

Before eating, American mantis moths will weave a lot of yarn mesh outside the feeding area. This kind of yarn mesh will block the pesticides that spray wine. Therefore, even if a special pesticide is found, it is still a big problem to make the pesticides reach the effective killing area.

Yang Bin's helicopter flew towards Dutou Town, and within half an hour he flew to Dutou Town.

After getting off the helicopter, the scene on the streets of Dutou Town can almost be described as devastated.

"From the ground to the wall, from the door to the windowsill, and the yard, these caterpillars are everywhere, which is so disgusting! Early in the morning, I cleaned up a few plastic bags and other bugs from my residence." I heard that Yang Bin and Sun Piaoyun came over, and Zhang Shengyi and others came over to tell them.
