Small insect/small spider specimen collection method and loading plate

Abstract

The invention relates to a small insect / small spider specimen collection method and a loading plate. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps: firstly, taking an opaque loading plate which is provided with a reticular interlayer and matched with a specimen to be sampled; secondly, poking dry branches and fallen leaves or weeds with hidden small insects / small spiders into the opaque loading plate with the reticular interlayer by using dressing pliers; thirdly, flapping the dry branches and fallen leaves or weeds in the plate on the reticular interlayer by hands or dressing pliers until all the small insects / small spiders pass through or fall into the bottom of the loading plate, taking the reticular interlayer down, and taking all the dry branches and fallen leaves or weeds away; and fourthly, shaking the loading plate, touching with a brush dipped with an anesthetic to anesthetize the small insects / small spiders when detecting the small insects / small spiders, adsorbing the small animals by utilizing surface tension, transferring the small animals into a specimen bottle, and sucking with a rubber dropper to take the specimen out when identifying the specimen. The reticular interlayer can perform the function of filtration to quickly separate the dry branches and fallen leaves or weeds from the specimen to be sampled. The invention is simple to implement, and can ensure the collection quantity and completeness.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for collecting small animals, in particular to a method for collecting small insects and small spider specimens hidden in litter and weeds, specifically a small insect and small spider specimen Collection method and carrier disk. Background technique

[0002] As we all know, the collection and specimen processing of small animals are technical methods that must be mastered in ecological surveys and animal taxonomy research institutes. Some small animals, such as small insects and small spiders, are not easy to be found due to their small size (only a few millimeters), and some have mimicry or protective colors; the discovered small animals are not easy to catch because they are too small and move fast. Clamping with tweezers, grasping by hand, or using a test tube cover will not achieve the desired results, or the worms will escape, or the integrity of the specimen will be affected. There is no good solution ...
