Is it okay for the longan chicken to fly to the balcony?

The longan chicken, the insect name, is a member of the order Homoptera, the family Fulgoridae. It is widely distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan and Guizhou. It is also distributed in many countries in Southeast Asia.

In addition to longan and lychee, it also harms mango, olive, grapefruit, etc., and is a common pest in tropical and subtropical orchards. Its excreta can also induce soot disease.

Like other species of the same genus, the longan chicken feeds on the sap of the longan and lychee trees, and the method is to peck through the bark of the tree with its slender peck. [1

Tail lays eggs, egg masses are mostly laid in the main trunk or main branch meters above the ground, usually only one egg mass is laid per female, there are 60 100 eggs, and the egg period is 20 30 days.

In June, the nymphs are in full bloom, the first hatching nymphs are clustered, the nymphs are lively, good at jumping, and the insect mouth is densely spread among the branches and leaves when it is severe.

In early to mid-September, nymphs gradually emerge. [3]

Growing occurs once a year, and adults overwinter in the underside of the branch branches of fruit trees. In the second year, it resumes in early and mid-March, and after April, it flies actively, and May is the peak of mating, and eggs begin to lay 7-14 days after mating, and the eggs are mostly laid on the flat trunk of trees about 2 meters high and on branches with a diameter of 5-15 mm. Each female usually lays 1 egg mass, each with 60-100 eggs, several rows in a rectangular row, and covered with white wax powder.

The egg stage is 19-30 days, with an average of about 25 days. In June, the eggs hatch one after another, and the nymphs begin to disperse after lying on the egg mass for 1 day. New adults appear in September.

Nymphs are good at bouncing, and adults are good at jumping and can fly. Once disturbed, the nymph will bounce and escape, and the adult will quickly bounce and flee.
