Insect specimen manufacturing method

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of specimen making, and discloses an insect specimen making method, which comprises the following steps: stretching crimped whiskers, feet, antennae and the like from a collected or softened specimen in a softener by using a teasing needle, separately pressing down and resetting two wings, fixing an insertion needle, and making an insect specimen by using a wing-unspreading five-needle method and a wing-spreading five-needle method. The five-needle method provided by the invention mainly solves the problem that various large-batch insects such as butterfly, moth, bee, fly, cicada, dragonfly and the like need a specimen making technology for wing spreading, making, observing and researching characteristics, and has higher efficiency than the traditional groove and groove type wing spreading plate wing spreading making method with slower duty. By adopting the five-needle method, the insect specimen making efficiency can be greatly, quickly andwell improved according to local conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of specimen preparation, and in particular relates to a preparation method of an insect specimen. Background technique [0002] At present, there are more than 10 million species of insects on the earth, accounting for 80% of the animal kingdom. More than 1 million species have been identified, but more than 7,000 new species are still added every year. It is estimated that there are more than 1 million species of insects in China, at least 500,000 to 800,000 species, but only 90,000 species have been identified, and 50,000 species have been named by foreigners. How big is the gap between 90,000 species and 300,000 or 800,000 species? If compared with 1 million species, the gap is even greater. It can be said that the insect classification in our country is by far the largest in our country's insect taxonomy. deficit. Since the birth of human beings, they have often had direct or indirect relationships wi...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Through the above analysis, the existing problems and defects of the prior art are: (1) in the prior art, various large-scale insects such as butterflies, moths, bees, flies, cicadas, dragonflies and other groups need to spread their wings to make specimen preparation techniques for observing characteristics , the traditional step-by-step trough and ditch-type wing-spreading manufacturing method is very slow, low in efficiency, and wastes a lot of time

[0004] (2) The current method of making insect specimen grooves and groove-type wing-spreading plates is not only time-consuming, but also needs sulfuric acid transparent paper to make layers and insert 10-15 insect needles to fix the insects' wings.

[0005] (3) When the specimen is removed, the specimen is often damaged due to carelessness when pulling out the insect needle and removing the sulfuric acid paper.

Everyone can do specimens, but it is really not an easy task to make a good specimen
