The ground beetle, also known as the golden sand beetle, is the dried body of the larva of the antlion, an insect in the antlion family. It can be used to treat diseases such as malaria, boils, and lymphadenitis. However, ground beetles are toxic and need to be processed before use. Now let's learn about the method of using ground beetles to treat kidney stones!

【Cultivation method of ground beetles】
Currently, the number of these insects is very small, and they are almost impossible to be artificially cultivated, so their value is extremely high.
Ground beetles like to live in sandy areas and are common in sandy soil at the foot of cliffs.
Ground beetles can be caught all year round, mostly in summer and autumn when antlions are found. After catching them, they should be lightly stir-fried over a low heat until the larvae expand.
Ground beetles are light and brittle, with a slight fishy smell and a slightly salty taste. The best ones are large, intact, brownish-yellow in color, light in weight, and without sand or mud.
The adult ground beetles live in grassy areas and often fly in the evening, while the larvae live in dry sandy soil, building funnel-shaped burrows and hiding at the bottom of the burrows, waiting for small insects to fall in and then prey on them. They are distributed in South China, Taiwan, Sichuan, and other places.
