In Shaanxi, Weihai, Shandong and Zaozhuang, the willow-cutting turtle is generally called cicada monkey.
Larvae have different names in different places, such as cicada monkey, whistle-eating dog, whistle-eating monkey (Jinan), top-thousand monkey (Boxing dialect), crawling monkey, crawling monkey (Shangqiu dialect), old-chirping-chirping-chirping-chirping-chirping-chirping-chirping-chirping-chirping-chirping-chirping-chirping-chirping monkey (Handan dialect), grasshopper, horse-chirping-chirping

In recent years, the phenomenon of catching golden cicadas for catering in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Anhui and other places in China is very serious. Because golden cicada larvae can survive underground for about 5-12 years before they break out of the ground, the number of golden cicadas has dropped sharply due to such crazy catching. In some areas, the sound of golden cicadas can no longer be heard in summer, and golden cicadas are facing a crisis of survival, and may even be extinct!
