Indoor isolation feeder for spider mites

Abstract

The invention discloses an indoor isolation feeder for spider mites; the indoor isolation feeder comprises a culture dish which is composed of a bottom wall and a lateral wall and is open at one end, host leaves placed in the culture dish and protective isolation parts for preventing the escaping of the spider mites; the protective isolation parts are of wet bar-shaped structures around the leaves. The leaves utilized for feeding the spider mites are capable of preventing the spider mites from escaping and from being drowned; meanwhile, the technical problems in leaf feeding and water isolation feeding can be solved; the indoor isolation feeder for spider mites is simple in structure, does not need to utilize other complex escaping prevention measures and has the characteristics of being good in moisture retention, long in refreshing time of leaves, easy in temperature control, strong in operability and controllable in activity range of insects; the feeding process is simplified and the feeder can be used for performing indoor culturing experiments, indoor fertility and host selectivity experiments of the spider mites, pesticide efficacy and toxicity measurement as well as accurate measurement of predation quantity of natural enemies; the indoor isolation feeder solves the error problem caused by epitrophy and phototropism of insects to the experimental operation and solves the experimental errors caused by partial spider mites remaining at the top of a mite cultivating shade when the mite cultivating shade is utilized to perform an experiment in the prior art; the experimental errors are reduced and the experimental accuracy is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to insect cultivation, in particular to an indoor isolation feeder for spider mites. Background technique [0002] At present, the breeding experiments of spider mites are carried out on living host plants, and leaf cages or insect-proof covers are used to isolate spider mites and host plants from the external environment. However, using this method to carry out feeding experiments has many shortcomings. First, because it is a living host plant, it is very affected by the size of the space, and it is difficult to control the temperature and humidity; The error between is large. The application of leaf cages is easy to cause damage to leaves, which will lead to the escape of spider mites; while it is difficult to solve the experimental error problem caused by insect upwards with insect-proof covers. Tetranychus generally adopt the leaf rearing method or water isolation culture method. The leaf rearing method will easily cause the...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In view of this, the object of the invention is to provide an indoor isolation feeder for spider mites, which uses leaves to feed and prevent spider mites from escaping, and can use the device for indoor cultivation experiments, indoor fecundity and host selection experiments of spider mites. It solves the error problem caused by the upward nature of insects to the experimental operation, and the experimental error caused by the problem that some spider mites stay on the top of the insect hood when the insect hood is used for experiments in the prior art.
