Red imported fire ant field feeding and observing device

Abstract

The invention discloses a red imported fire ant field feeding and observing device which comprises a cement ground and a ventilation light transmitting chamber built on the cement ground, a door and ablind window are arranged on the ventilation light transmitting chamber, at least one glass frame is arranged inside the ventilation light transmitting chamber, the glass frame comprises an outer layer glass frame and an inner layer glass frame arranged inside the outer layer glass frame, the upper ends of the outer layer glass frame and the inner layer glass frame are both open, a solution is contained between the outer layer glass frame and the inner layer glass frame, and the inner layer glass frame is used for containing red imported fire ants and soil and food for allowing red imported fire ants to survive. By means of the red imported fire ant field feeding and observing device, red imported fire ant foraging and mating flight behavior observing research can be developed on the condition that the natural survival condition of red imported fire ants is simulated and it is ensured that red imported fire ants do not escape.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of insect breeding devices, in particular to a device for raising and observing red imported fire ants in the field. Background technique [0002] The red fire ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren) is a major invasive pest that seriously threatens human safety, public facilities, agricultural and forestry production, and biodiversity. and one of the aggressive invasive organisms. Since it was first discovered in Guangdong Province in mainland China in 2004, its occurrence range has expanded rapidly, and it has now spread to 11 provinces (cities) in the south. [0003] The most significant harmful feature of the red fire ant is that it will attack people through the venom in the poison sac of the chela needles in its abdomen. People with allergies and weak constitutions will feel severe burning pain after being stung by it, followed by redness, swelling, itching, Symptoms such as high fever, severe cases may also ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, at present, there are generally two problems in carrying out relevant research work in areas newly invaded by RIFAs: 1) The research objects or research sites are greatly disturbed by humans.

However, there is no record of field breeding and observation devices for RIFAs at present.
