Catching Cicadas
Childhood is memorable for everyone. My childhood was poor but full of memories.
When I was a kid, living conditions in the countryside were very poor. We had no toys, and life was really boring, so us kids had to find ways to amuse ourselves.
Thus, catching cicadas in summer became a popular activity for us.
We had a few methods to do so, all of which required a thin, long bamboo pole.
When using wheat gluten to catch cicadas, we first made the gluten, then spread it on the tip of the pole. Afterwards, we could use the gluten to stick to the cicadas' wings.
When using a long piece of horsehair to catch cicadas, we tied a slip knot at one end, then tied the other end to the pole' s tip—this tool was then ready, and we used the knot to snare cicadas.
Another method was to use a small empty washing powder plastic bag. We took a length of wire, threaded one end of it around the entire rim of the bag' s opening, then bent the wire into a circular frame, which propped the bag' s mouth open and kept it permanently open in a circle. Then we tied the other end of the wire to the tip of the pole, making the tool ready; we used it to trap cicadas.
Catching cicadas was great fun. Our ducks loved cicadas, so we' d feed them to the ducks.
