Kwang is the hard wing insect with 6 legs and horn on the head, but some type has no horn also. They like to dine on the sweet sugarcane. The season to catch the Kwang is July to October where they can go to look for the insects in the bushes or the dense trees.
Another way to catch Kwang is to use the female insect to attract the male by tied the rope around the female and let her fly around at night to get attention from the male to come in the trap.
The life cycle of Kwang is 1 year. In July to August, both male and female insects would come up from the ground to mate and lay eggs, this cycle is around 4 months. Early winter, female would dig the ground to lay eggs and died, the cocoons stay under ground until the early rainy season next year. Then the young Kwang would dig up the ground and start the life cycle.

Note from the staff that
once lived in Nan in her youth that she used to
bring the cute insects to school . By tied the Kwang
on a piece of sugarcane and left it at the back yard
at night, many of them would came from the forest
near the house and stayed on the sugarcane. It is
easy to catch them in the early morning. With the
thread to tie the legs of them, we can carry them
everywhere. They can make money on the competition.
There were plenty of these insects in Nan, but they
are difficult to find now as the environment is
deteriorated almost everywhere.
