米象飼養記 (Rearing Rice Weevil)

把米象養置一段時間後，大約於8月29日拿起來看時發現牠似乎已經僵硬，大概是掛了...

從一開始養到後來，牠有明顯變得稍微大些，但我沒有仔細測量單位。

我之前把牠養在一個小小的觀察昆蟲用的透明圓柱盒，裡面丟幾顆米。不知道確切掛掉的時間是多少。因為因應米象喜好陰暗的環境，我都把觀察盒用小紙盒罩著。

一開始沒用紙盒罩著的時候我會發現他一直想觀察盒上面跑，我有想過是不是缺乏氧氣？最近我也有好幾天沒有翻開來看，沒想到一翻開來就是僵硬樣。

從我上次寫米裡面飛出米蟲這篇文章的2021.02.23開始，大概養了六個月，跟網路上查到的壽命長度查不多。

On 2021.08.29, I found the rice weevil is dead. I've fed the rice weevil for about six months.

It was apparently getting bigger when I saved it from the rice washing. But having no idea what's the precise size it grew, because I didn't measure.

The rearing environment was only a small transparent cylinder box, I also put some raw rice in it. After few months, I put little paper box on it, because it like the darker environment. I had never opened the rearing box for some times, don't know how much the fresh air it need, either...
