Weevil breeding method

Abstract

The invention discloses a weevil breeding method. The method comprises the steps of bamboo forest selection, early-stage preparation, indoor incubation, bamboo bed cultivation, pupa harvesting and adult weevil capture. The breeding method is scientifically and reasonably designed according to the growth law of the weevil that one generation is formed every two years, so that pupas can be harvestedfor a long time, thereby meeting the eating needs of people, weevil eggs are artificially hatched indoors, and the hatching rate is high; the larvae are placed in a bamboo bed for cultivation, bambooshoot stems are put in to serve as main feed, petal feed is put in once a week, the larvae grow fast, and the formed pupas are nutritious and healthy; 3%-10% of the pupas are returned to a bamboo forest, thereby ensuring the sustainable development. The breeding method has low breeding cost and high economic benefits, and does not damage the bamboo forest and the surrounding ecological environment while ensuring that the breeding number of the weevil is large.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of artificial breeding, in particular to a weevil breeding method. Background technique [0002] Taiwan elephant weevil, body length 15-30mm, body color orange-yellow to orange-brown; there is a large black spot in the center of the rear edge of the pronotum, and the wing elytra has fine longitudinal grooves, and the grooves are darker in color. This brightly colored insect is called bamboo shoot insect, or bamboo cow in Sichuan, and it can be found wherever there are bamboo forests. Bamboo shoot worms live in bamboo forests and suck the juice of fresh bamboo shoots. Most of the body of the bamboo shoot worm is golden yellow, and its mouth is like a long straw. It can penetrate bamboo shoots and suck the shoot juice. It lives on the tail of bamboo and grows up by sucking bamboo juice and eating bamboo for a long time. It is estimated that the body is rich in of protein. Bamboo shoot insects are pure natur...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Bamboo shoot worms are harmful to bamboo shoots. Due to being killed by bamboo shoot farmers for a long time, there are not many bamboo shoot worms in the wild. Artificial wild capture alone can no longer meet people's food needs. Moreover, the Taiwan elephant weevil is said to be endangered in Taiwan
