Observation box for indoor behavior of insects and application thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to an observation box for the indoor behavior of insects and application thereof. A box door is arranged on one lateral surface of the box body; an observation window is arranged at the upper-half part of the other lateral surface of the box body; muffling felts are respectively arranged in parts of the box body except the part of the observation window; a layer of red copper mesh is also arranged in the box body; the red copper mesh in the box body is wrapped on the muffling felts except for the red copper mesh arranged at the observation window, which is made into a window curtain shape; infrared integrated machines are respectively arranged on four sides in the box body, are connected with an external computer and are controlled by a cloud desk to track, shoot, observe and record the behaviors of the insects from four angles. According to the observation box, the demands on acquisition of chirp signals of the insects and the observation of other various behaviors are met and the disturbance of outside electronic waves and noises can be effectively shielded; conditions in the box are stable and controllable; the observation box is matched with an infrared camera, daytime and nighttime behavior observation is carried out on the premise of not disturbing normal behaviors of the insects; the observation box is a good tool for researching the insect ethology.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of insect behavior, in particular to an insect indoor behavior observation box and its application. Background technique

[0002] Insect ethology is a discipline that studies the types, patterns and mechanisms of insect behavior. The behavior patterns of insects include feeding habits and foraging behaviors, clustering and transfer behaviors, reproductive behaviors (courtship, mating, egg laying, etc.), information exchange behaviors (chemical communication, auditory communication, visual communication, etc.), defensive behaviors (escape, suspended animation, intimidation, camouflage, etc.), social behavior (division of labor, cooperation, etc.), etc. There are 1 million insect species known in the world, and each insect has a behavior pattern different from other species. Take information exchange as an example. Most moths attract the opposite sex to mate by emitting chemical volatile substances, cicadas attract th...
