The so-called hua niao yu chong (“flower, bird, fish, insect”) culture of China is a tradition related to the growth and raising of small and easy-to-care-for plants and animals. Typical of this culture is that of fighting crickets. Cricket fights, between two male crickets, is an amusement especially popular among urban dwellers. In the past it was followed by the emperor and the nobility, by the rich and by intellectuals such as the literati. Because of this, previous research into Chinese culture has tended to emphasize only the glamorous side of cricket fighting and paid scant attention to those who sustained it in the background. Nevertheless we cannot ignore those people in rural areas who go out to catch the crickets that will provide amusement for cricket-fight aficionados in the cities. In fact, both urban dwellers, as consumers, and farmers, as providers, sustain the culture of cricket fighting, but there are wide differences between them in terms of folk knowledge and skills. The knowledge and skills of the farmers who hunt crickets are concerned closely with the habits of crickets and resemble the type of knowledge that is based on observation, and so can be explained in terms of entomological ecology and behavioural science. Urban aficionados, on the other hand, care for crickets in terms of how they think crickets should live, quite differently from their natural habitat. They have anthropomorphized them, rearing them as if they were associating with other human beings, and in general have inserted human values into their lives.

Fifty-eight species of aphids from a wide range of host plants, one leafhopper species from Vitis sp., and a psyllid from Alnus rugosa have been examined for their salivary ability to hydrolyse carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) substrates. Most of these insects, when allowed to probe and secrete saliva into CMC-filled parafilm "sachets", reduced the CMC to glucose and sometimes to glucose and cellobiose. The presence of this cellulose-hydrolyzing factor varied among species, and within species according to morph, season, and host plant from which the insect culture had been derived. The behavior of the insects on the sachets resembled the characteristic "test probing" of aphids described by many authors. It is suggested that salivary components secreted during such test probes play a role in host plant selection and subsequent exploitation.

Аnnotation Purpose. To conduct integrated studies of complex biotechnical systems, to predict their sustainable and efficient functioning as a part of large biological factories, which will contribute to a significant increase in agricultural output at both the regional and national levels. Methods. Dialectic, system analysis and synthesis. Results. The features of functioning and properties of the biotechnical system of the entomological production are determined. The structural scheme of the technological system is developed. Conclusions. Taking into account all the peculiarities of reproduction of insect cultures in technocenosis and the principles of organizing an industrial enterprise from the point of view of system analysis, it has been proved that entomological production is a complicated open probable biotechnical system. Keywords: biotechnical system, production, technology, products, insect culture, technocenosis.
