本文介绍了一种简易饲养喷沫蝉（苏利亚colorphiana（Lallemand））的技术。Aeneolamia reducta（Lallemand）等）和一种高效回收喷沫虫卵的方法。通过在带有铝盖的塑料盆中种植易感的草植物，获得了饲养蝗虫的有利条件。当环境湿度较低时，在若虫发育期间，盖子保持盆内的高相对湿度。黑暗和潮湿的覆盖也刺激表面的小根的增殖，并提供丰富的觅食场所的早期幼虫。本发明描述了一种产卵室，在该产卵室中，可以从容易制备的土壤基质中快速有效地大量回收沫蝉卵。
A simple technique for rearing spittlebug nymphs (Zulia colombiana (Lallemand). Aeneolamia reducta (Lallemand), and others) and a highly efficient method for recovering spittlebug eggs are described. Favorable conditions for rearing nymphs are obtained by growing susceptible grass plants in plastic pots with an aluminum cover. The cover maintains high relative humidity inside the pots during nymphal development when ambient humidity is low. Darkness and humidity afforded by the cover also stimulate proliferation of superficial rootlets and provide abundant feeding sites for early instars. An oviposition chamber in which spittlebug eggs can be rapidly and efficiently recovered in large quantities from an easily prepared soil substrate is described.
