Springtail specimen batch collection device in feeding box

Abstract

The invention discloses a springtail specimen batch collection device in a feeding box, and belongs to the technical field of entomology. The device comprises a springtail collection cylinder (1), a supporting column (2), a blower (14), an area-increasing box fixing rod (15), an area-increasing elastic membrane (17), a springtail collection hopper (18) and the feeding box (27). The device is characterized in that the supporting column (2) is a structure supporting the feeding box (27) and tilting the feeding box toward a springtail collection hopper opening (16), a supporting column body (3) is in a cylindrical shape, solid, and made of plastic, rubber, stainless steel or aluminum alloy, a supporting column top depression (9) is a spherical depression with the top surface of the supportingcolumn body (3) concave downward, a supporting rod (10) is in a cylindrical shape, hollow and made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, and the supporting rod (10) is connected with a right-angled box supporting rod (12) by means of a rotatable fixing shaft (11); the structure and function of the blower (14) are the same as a common blower. The device is easy to produce, high in operability, lowin cost and obvious in effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for collecting collembola specimens in batches in a breeding box, which belongs to the technical field of entomology. Background technique [0002] Collembola, commonly known as Collembola, is a widely distributed, native wingless arthropod. It has wide adaptability and mostly exists in humid and cold areas. Overwinters as an adult and is very active in snow. Exists in various undisturbed litter, soil and moss, feeds on hyphae, and obtains water by adhering to the lower surface of solid objects through the abdominal tube and absorbing the water droplets formed by condensation on the lower surface . Collembola are small in size, with an average body length of about 1 mm. Studies in recent years have shown that there are many active substances in Collembola that can be used to treat some human diseases, such as antimicrobial peptides, which can better prevent the growth of cancer cells. At present, the way people ob...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In order to overcome the low efficiency of collecting collembola currently used and the difficulty of quickly obtaining a large number of collembola specimens, the present invention provides a batch collection device for collembola specimens in a breeding box, which uses a breeding box to first collect collembola specimens in batches Raise the springtails, wait for the springtails to multiply to a certain number, and then use the wind to stimulate the springtails to make them jump up in the rearing box placed at an angle. Since the springtails have no fixed landing method and direction after jumping up, It just falls randomly with gravity, so almost all the springtails that jump up stimulated by the wind jump into the insect collection funnel next to the breeding box, and then fall into the collection bottle to be collected, so that the collection of springtail specimens can be achieved in batches Purpose
