Insect phototaxis testing device

Abstract

The invention discloses an insect phototaxis testing device, which consists of an LED light source lamp tube, a power control box and a phototatic reaction box. The phototatic reaction box is divided into four areas including a dark chamber, a first phototatic channel, a second phototatic channel and a phototatic chamber via two partition boards, light intensity of a phototatic path from an insect box of the dark chamber to a light source is gradually and continuously increased, and the process of field insects trending to a trapping light source from a far region to a near region in a natural night environment can be simulated conveniently. The insect phototaxis testing device resolves the problem that a present insect phototaxis testing device is low in practicality, expensive in price or cheap in price but poor in practicality, and simultaneously difficult to carry out parallel comparison tests. Compared with the prior art, the insect phototaxis testing device has the advantages of low cost, high practicality, large spectrum selection range, more spectrum wave crests, high standardization degree, capability of carrying out comparison tests, and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a test device for exploring insect habits, in particular to a device for testing insect phototaxis by using an LED light source. Background technique [0002] There have been decades of laboratory experiments and field experiments on insect phototaxis at home and abroad, and the academic value and economic benefits of such experiments are very high. The purpose of the experiment includes observing the phototaxis behavior of insects and determining the sensitive light wavelengths of insects, so as to guide the relevant application fields of insect phototaxis research. worm) than the lowest target. [0003] A traditional laboratory test device usually consists of two parts: a light source for attracting insects and a phototaxis reaction box. [0004] In the laboratory test devices of insect phototaxis in the past two decades, the insect-attracting light source has a specific spectrum, usually with multiple different peak wavele...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

One is that the light source device is huge and complicated, and the imported filter set is used. The price of the whole test device is very high, and only a few units can afford it.

Second, there is no intelligent control function, and it is impossible to set more test variables related to the light source, which affects the test effect

The third is that the laboratory devices and research results cannot be extended to the field test and verified by the natural environment, and it is even more impossible to transplant them into the practical application of insect traps and exterminators.

Another limitation is that the devices of various research units are very different, and there is no standardization at all, so it is difficult to carry out the same test in different units to verify each other

Experiments whose results cannot be repeated, replicated, or traced, according to the general point of view, are relatively unscientific and imperfect
