Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of red imported fire ants breeding, in particular to a red imported fire ant breeding device. Background Art

[0002] The red fire ant is an extremely destructive invasive species. It is an omnivorous, soil-dwelling ant species. It is named because it is difficult to prevent and control. It poses a serious threat to human safety, public facilities, agricultural and forestry production, and biodiversity. The red fire ant attacks people with its venomous abdominal stinger. People with allergies and weak constitutions will experience a burning pain after being stung by it, followed by symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, and high fever. Severe cases may also go into shock or even death. Therefore, various universities, scientific institutes, and grassroots plant protection departments have successively carried out various observations and studies on the red fire ant. However, the area of ​​the red fire ant disaster is still gradually expanding, and new areas have broken out into disasters, and injuries occur from time to time.

[0003] Due to the high risk of red fire ants, all regions currently adopt the same killing method for their prevention and control. Once discovered, the government will take immediate measures. However, immediate killing will force the termination of continuous observation and research activities on the dynamic laws and behavioral characteristics of red fire ants populations, making it even more difficult to understand the laws of the occurrence areas of red fire ants. In order to study the occurrence laws of red fire ants, the first problem to be solved is their breeding problem. Traditional red fire ant breeding is often carried out by capturing multiple red fire ants and placing them in small breeding devices for breeding. Since such breeding devices are small, they cannot fully reflect the population situation of red fire ants. At the same time, the tops of such small breeding devices are open or the breeding devices need to be opened when feeding. There are a large number of winged ants in the red fire ant population, and winged ants are easy to escape at this time. Therefore, traditional breeding devices are not suitable for the breeding of red fire ants. Therefore, a red fire ant breeding device is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a red imported fire ant breeding device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] As an optional solution of the red imported fire ant breeding device of the present invention, the red imported fire ant breeding device includes a red imported fire ant breeding box, wherein an ant nest area for the red imported fire ants is installed inside the red imported fire ant breeding box, and the top cover of the ant nest area is transparent and can be opened;

[0007] A top cover is installed on the top of the red fire ant breeding box, and a feeding module is connected to the inside of the top cover;

[0008] A humidifying module for humidifying the interior of the red fire ant breeding box is installed on one side of the red fire ant breeding box, and a drinking water module for providing water for the red fire ants is installed on the other side of the red fire ant breeding box. A control unit fixedly connected to the red fire ant breeding box is provided above the drinking water module;

[0009] A humidified sand layer is laid on the bottom layer of the red fire ant breeding box, a partition fixedly connected to the red fire ant breeding box is provided on the top of the humidified sand layer, and a red fire ant active sand layer is laid on the top of the partition.

[0010] Traditional red fire ant breeding is often carried out by capturing multiple red fire ants and placing them in a small breeding device for breeding. Since this breeding device is small, it cannot fully reflect the population situation of red fire ants. At the same time, the top of this small breeding device is open or the breeding device needs to be opened when feeding. There are a large number of winged ants in the red fire ant population, and winged ants are easy to escape at this time. Therefore, traditional breeding devices are not suitable for breeding red fire ants. When breeding red fire ants, this device directly removes the top cover, then moves the ant nest into the red fire ant breeding box and puts the top cover back on. The red fire ant breeding box and the top cover are both made of transparent acrylic plates, which makes it convenient to observe the activity range of the red fire ants inside and facilitate the observation and research of the red fire ants' foraging, defense, nesting and other behaviors. In addition, when breeding red fire ants, it is necessary to add food frequently inside, and the winged ants can escape at this time. The winged ants are easy to escape, and the device can put food into it in advance through the setting of the feeding module, and the feeding port is automatically closed when the feeding is completed, which effectively prevents the winged ants from escaping. When the red fire ants drink water, the drinking water module is provided to facilitate the red fire ants to drink water, and the drinking water area of ​​the drinking water module is located inside the red fire ant breeding box, and the water replenishment area of ​​the drinking water module is located outside the red fire ant breeding box, which is convenient for timely replenishment and is not easy to cause overflow inside the red fire ant breeding box and pollute the internal environment when changing water. The red fire ants generally live in a relatively humid environment. At this time, the humidification module is provided to humidify the bottom of the red fire ant breeding box, thereby ensuring the internal environment of the red fire ant breeding box. The device is simple in design, safe and reliable, easy to use, and easy to carry and display. At the same time, it is equipped with a device to prevent winged ants from escaping, which is very convenient when feeding.

[0011] As an optional solution of the red fire ant breeding device described in the present invention, wheels are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the red fire ant breeding box to facilitate the movement of the red fire ant breeding box. When breeding red fire ants, the red fire ant breeding box needs to be moved frequently, and the provided wheels facilitate the movement of the red fire ant breeding box.

[0012] As an optional solution of the red fire ant breeding device described in the present invention, the inner side of the red fire ant breeding box is coated with a circle of Teflon coating. The Teflon coating can make the inner wall smooth, which can prevent the red fire ants from climbing to the inner wall of the top cover to a certain extent, has the purpose of limiting the movement range of the red fire ants, and can effectively prevent the red fire ants from escaping to a certain extent.

[0013] As an optional solution of the red imported fire ant breeding device described in the present invention, the inner side of the top cover is connected to a vertically arranged ventilation pipe, and the arrangement of the ventilation pipe ensures that the device can be normally ventilated, and the bottom of the ventilation pipe is pointed, and the bottom diameter of the ventilation pipe is smaller than the head circumference of the winged ants, which can effectively prevent the winged ants from escaping from the red imported fire ant breeding box through the ventilation pipe.

[0014] As an optional solution of the red imported fire ant breeding device described in the present invention, the humidification module includes a humidification box, a connecting capillary and a solenoid valve. The outer side of the humidification box is fixedly connected to the red imported fire ant breeding box. The front side of the humidification box is connected to a connecting capillary, which penetrates the surface of the red imported fire ant breeding box and extends into the interior of the humidified sand layer. The interior of the humidified sand layer is fixedly connected to a humidity sensor. The outer side of the connecting capillary is connected to evenly distributed first water absorption ropes. The outer side of the connecting capillary is also installed with a solenoid valve. The living area of ​​the red imported fire ants is generally relatively humid. At this time, to ensure the humidity inside the red imported fire ant breeding box, the humidity of the humidified sand layer is monitored by a humidity sensor. When the humidity does not meet the standard, the humidity sensor sends a signal to the control unit, which controls the solenoid valve to automatically open. At this time, the water source inside the humidification box can contact the first water absorption rope above through the connecting capillary. At this time, the water source can adjust the humidity of the humidified sand layer through the first water absorption rope. Once the humidity meets the standard, the control unit controls the solenoid valve to close. This device can automatically control the humidity inside the red imported fire ant breeding box to ensure the normal growth of the red imported fire ants.

[0015] As an optional solution of the red imported fire ant breeding device described in the present invention, the drinking water module includes a drinking water frame, a fixed frame and a water bottle. The outer side of the drinking water frame is fixedly connected to the red imported fire ant breeding box. The outer side of the fixed frame is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, and the connecting pipe passes through the surface of the red imported fire ant breeding box and the other end is connected to the drinking water frame. The bottom of the water bottle is spirally connected to the fixed frame.

[0016] As an optional solution of the red fire ant breeding device described in the present invention, wherein: a water-blocking sponge plug is installed at the bottom of the water bottle, and the other end of the water-blocking sponge plug is fixedly connected to a second water-absorbing rope, the second water-absorbing rope passes through the connecting pipe and the other end is arranged above the support frame, and the bottom of the support frame is fixedly connected to the drinking water frame. When breeding red fire ants, it is often necessary to feed the red fire ants with water, and general ants feed water by placing the water source directly inside the box, and this setting is not suitable for feeding red fire ants with water, because frequently opening the top cover can easily allow the red fire ants to escape. The red fire ants are toxic and can easily pose a threat to the safety of the breeders. The device can place the drinking water frame in the box through the drinking water frame, the fixed frame and the water bottle. The water bottle is arranged inside the red fire ant breeding box, and the water bottle is arranged outside the red fire ant breeding box. The drinking water area and the water replenishing area are arranged separately. When replenishing water, there is no need to open the top cover of the red fire ant breeding box. At the same time, the device can guide the water in the water bottle to the inside of the drinking water frame through the arrangement of the water bottle, the water blocking sponge plug and the second water absorption rope, so as to achieve the purpose of automatic water replenishment. In addition, this arrangement has no exposed through holes, so as to prevent the red fire ants from escaping. The arranged support frame can support the end of the second water absorption rope, so as to ensure the stable guidance of the water source. Once the water level is higher than the end of the second water absorption rope, the water can slowly enter the drinking water frame or even stop entering the drinking water frame. The device can automatically replenish water according to actual conditions to ensure that the red fire ants can continuously drink the drinking water source.

[0017] As an optional solution of the red imported fire ant breeding device described in the present invention, the feeding module includes a guide tube, a sliding rod and a blocking plate. The inner side of the guide tube is slidably connected to a vertically arranged sliding rod, the bottom of the guide tube is rotatably connected to a semicircular blocking plate, and the top of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to a horizontally arranged connecting rod. When feeding the red imported fire ants, food is put into the guide tube and the sliding rod is pressed down to squeeze the blocking plate at its bottom, and the blocking plate rotates, thereby causing the food to fall. The provided connecting rod serves the purpose of fixing the sliding rod.

[0018] As an optional solution of the red fire ant breeding device described in the present invention, the outer side of the blocking plate is fixedly connected to an extension plate, the upper side of the extension plate is fixedly connected to a limiting sleeve, and the inner side of the limiting sleeve is provided with an elastic rod, and the other end of the elastic rod is slidably installed on the inner side of the sliding cylinder, the outer side of the sliding cylinder is fixedly connected to the guide tube, and when the blocking plate rotates, it drives the extension plate to rotate, and then the limiting sleeve of the extension plate squeezes the elastic rod, and the elastic rod slides inside the sliding cylinder, at this time the blocking plate can rotate normally, making it convenient for food to fall.

[0019] As an optional solution of the red imported fire ant breeding device described in the present invention, the outer side of the elastic rod is fixedly connected to a fixed plate, and the other end of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to a spring, the spring is arranged on the outer side of the elastic rod, and the top of the spring is fixedly connected to the sliding cylinder. When there is no sliding rod squeezing, the elastic rod is reset under the action of the spring and the elastic rod, and the limiting sleeve is squeezed to squeeze the blocking plate, and the blocking plate is reset to achieve the purpose of blocking the bottom of the guide tube to prevent winged ants from escaping. When the material is added next time, it is possible that winged ants are located at the bottom of the guide tube. At this time, by observing the situation of winged ants at the bottom of the guide tube, once there are no winged ants in the guide tube or it is ensured that winged ants will not escape when food is added, the feeding purpose can be continued.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The present invention provides a top cover on the top of the red fire ant breeding box, which is convenient for opening the top cover to move the ant colony into the device for breeding. During normal breeding, the top cover and the red fire ant breeding box are sealed, making it difficult for the winged ants to escape. During feeding, food is placed inside the feeding module and automatically delivered by activating the feeding module. After delivery, the discharge port is automatically closed to prevent the winged ants in the red fire ant colony from escaping.

[0022] A vertical ventilation pipe is provided inside the top cover. The bottom of the ventilation pipe is pointed. The diameter of the ventilation pipe is smaller than the head circumference of the winged ants, thereby preventing the winged ants from escaping while achieving ventilation.

[0023] When feeding, the food is placed inside the guide tube and the sliding rod is pressed down. At this time, the bottom of the sliding rod squeezes the blocking plate, and then the blocking plate opens, allowing the food to fall below, thus achieving the purpose of automatic feeding.

[0024] After the food has finished its automatic drop, the extension plate, limit sleeve, elastic rod, sliding cylinder and spring arranged on one side of the blocking plate can effectively reset the blocking plate, thereby blocking the bottom of the guide tube and preventing the winged ants from escaping.

[0025] When the red imported fire ants drink water, if the water source is set inside the red imported fire ants breeding box, it is inconvenient to replenish the water source and it is easy to affect the inside of the red imported fire ants breeding box. The drinking water frame, water bottle, water-blocking sponge plug, second water-absorbing rope and connecting pipe provided in the present device, the water-blocking sponge plug provided at the bottom of the water bottle can prevent the water source from flowing out automatically, and the second water-absorbing rope is provided at the bottom of the water-blocking sponge plug. At this time, the water source in the water bottle can slowly and automatically flow into the drinking water frame through the second water-absorbing rope, and the end of the second water-absorbing rope is higher than the connecting pipe under the support of the support frame. At this time, the water in the water bottle can be guided to the inside of the drinking water frame and the water source can be replenished in time. When changing the water body, it is only necessary to take out the water-replenishing cap on the outside of the water bottle to replenish water therein.

[0026] The area where red fire ants live needs to be humid, and this device is equipped with a humidifying sand layer, a partition and a red fire ant active sand layer inside the red fire ant breeding box. The humidity at the bottom of the red fire ant breeding box is monitored by a humidity sensor. Once the humidity does not meet the standard, a signal is sent to the control unit. The control unit controls the solenoid valve to open, and the water source inside the humidifying box is guided to the inside of the first water absorption rope through a connecting thin tube, and the humidifying sand layer and the red fire ant active sand layer are replenished with water through the first water absorption rope. At this time, the purpose of humidification can be achieved. After the humidity meets the standard, the solenoid valve is automatically closed, and the environment inside the red fire ant breeding box can be guaranteed at all times.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Example 1

[0034] See also Figure 1 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0035] A red imported fire ant breeding device includes a red imported fire ant breeding box 1, wherein an ant nesting area 10 for the red imported fire ants to live is installed inside the red imported fire ant breeding box 1, and the top cover of the ant nesting area 10 is transparent and can be opened;

[0036] A top cover 6 is installed on the top of the red fire ant breeding box 1, and a feeding module 8 is connected to the inside of the top cover 6;

[0037] A humidifying module 2 for humidifying the interior of the red fire ant breeding box 1 is installed on one side of the red fire ant breeding box 1, and a drinking water module 5 for providing water for the red fire ants is installed on the other side of the red fire ant breeding box 1. A control unit 3 fixedly connected to the red fire ant breeding box 1 is provided above the drinking water module 5;

[0038] A humidified sand layer 11 is laid on the bottom of the red fire ant breeding box 1, and a partition 13 fixedly connected to the red fire ant breeding box 1 is provided on the top of the humidified sand layer 11. A red fire ant active sand layer 14 is laid above the partition 13.

[0039] The traditional breeding of red fire ants is often carried out by capturing multiple red fire ants and placing them in a small breeding device for breeding. Since this breeding device is small, it cannot fully reflect the population situation of red fire ants. At the same time, the top of this small breeding device is open or the breeding device needs to be opened when feeding. There are a large number of winged ants in the red fire ant population, and winged ants are easy to escape at this time. Therefore, the traditional breeding device is not suitable for breeding red fire ants. When the red fire ants are fed, the top cover 6 is directly taken out, and then the ant nest is moved into the red fire ant breeding box 1 and the top cover 6 is covered again. The red fire ant breeding box 1 and the top cover 6 are both made of transparent acrylic plates, which is convenient for observing the activity range of the red fire ants inside and for conducting behavioral observations and studies on the foraging, defense, and nesting of red fire ants. In addition, when breeding red fire ants, it is necessary to frequently add food to the inside, and winged ants are easy to escape at this time. The present device can put food in it in advance through the setting of the feeding module 8, and automatically closes the feeding port when the feeding is completed, which effectively avoids the problem of winged ants escaping. Winged ants escape, and when the red fire ants drink water, the drinking water module 5 provided can facilitate the red fire ants to drink water, and the drinking water area of ​​the drinking water module 5 is located inside the red fire ant breeding box 1, and the water replenishment area of ​​the drinking water module 5 is located outside the red fire ant breeding box 1, so it is convenient to replenish water in time, and it is not easy to overflow into the red fire ant breeding box 1 and pollute the internal environment when changing water. The life of red fire ants is generally humid. At this time, the bottom of the red fire ant breeding box 1 is humidified by the humidifying module 2 provided, so as to ensure the internal environment of the red fire ant breeding box 1. The device is simple in design, safe and reliable, easy to use, and easy to carry and display. At the same time, it is equipped with a device to prevent winged ants from escaping, which is very convenient when feeding. The humidified sand layer 11 can be humidified by the humidifying module 2, so as to adjust the humidity of the internal environment of the red fire ant breeding box 1 to ensure the normal life of the red fire ants. The setting of the red fire ant activity sand layer 14 ensures that the red fire ants are active on the top, and the living habits of the red fire ants can be observed through the transparent acrylic plate. Example 2

[0040] This embodiment is an improvement made to Example 1. Figure 1 Specifically, wheels 4 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the red fire ant breeding box 1 to facilitate the movement of the red fire ant breeding box 1.

[0041] When raising red imported fire ants, the red imported fire ant breeding box 1 needs to be frequently moved, and the wheels 4 are provided to facilitate the movement of the red imported fire ant breeding box 1 . Example 3

[0042] This embodiment is an improvement made to Example 2. Figure 1 Specifically, the inner side of the above-mentioned red fire ant breeding box 1 is coated with a circle of Teflon coating 9.

[0043] The Teflon coating 9 can make the inner wall of the red fire ant breeding box 1 smooth, which can prevent the red fire ants from climbing to the inner wall of the top cover 6 to a certain extent, and has the purpose of limiting the movement range of the red fire ants, which can effectively prevent the red fire ants from escaping to a certain extent. Example 4

[0044] This embodiment is an improvement made to the implementation of Example 3. Figure 1 Specifically, the inner side of the top cover 6 is connected to a vertically arranged ventilation pipe 7.

[0045] The setting of the ventilation pipe 7 ensures that the device can be ventilated normally, ensuring the normal life of the red imported fire ants. The bottom of the ventilation pipe 7 is pointed, and the bottom diameter of the ventilation pipe 7 is smaller than the head circumference of the winged ants. At this time, the winged ants can be effectively prevented from escaping from the red imported fire ant breeding box 1 through the ventilation pipe 7. Example 5

[0046] This embodiment is an improvement made to the fourth embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the humidification module 2 includes a humidification box 201, a connecting tube 202 and a solenoid valve 203. The outer side of the humidification box 201 is fixedly connected to the red fire ant breeding box 1. The front side of the humidification box 201 is connected with a connecting tube 202. The connecting tube 202 passes through the surface of the red fire ant breeding box 1 and extends into the inside of the humidification sand layer 11. The inside of the humidification sand layer 11 is fixedly connected with a humidity sensor 12. The outer side of the connecting tube 202 is connected with a uniformly distributed first water absorption rope 204. The outer side of the connecting tube 202 is also installed with a solenoid valve 203.

[0047] The living area of ​​red imported fire ants is generally relatively humid. At this time, in order to ensure that the interior of the red imported fire ant breeding box 1 is moist, the humidity of the humidified sand layer 11 is monitored by the humidity sensor 12. When the humidity does not meet the standard, the humidity sensor 12 sends a signal to the control unit 3. The control unit 3 controls the solenoid valve 203 to open automatically. At this time, the water source inside the humidifying box 201 can contact the first water-absorbing rope 204 above through the connecting capillary 202. At this time, the water source can adjust the humidity of the humidified sand layer 11 through the first water-absorbing rope 204. Once the humidity meets the standard, the control unit 3 controls the solenoid valve 203 to close. The device can automatically control the humidity inside the red imported fire ant breeding box 1 to ensure the normal growth of the red imported fire ants. Example 6

[0048] This embodiment is an improvement made to the fifth embodiment. Figure 1 and Figure 3Specifically, the drinking water module 5 includes a drinking water frame 501, a fixed frame 502 and a water bottle 503. The outer side of the drinking water frame 501 is fixedly connected to the red fire ant breeding box 1. The outer side of the fixed frame 502 is fixedly connected with a connecting pipe 506, and the connecting pipe 506 passes through the surface of the red fire ant breeding box 1 and the other end is connected to the drinking water frame 501. The bottom of the water bottle 503 is spirally connected to the fixed frame 502.

[0049] A water-blocking sponge plug 504 is installed at the bottom of the water bottle 503, and the other end of the water-blocking sponge plug 504 is fixedly connected to a second water-absorbing rope 505. The second water-absorbing rope 505 passes through the connecting pipe 506 and the other end is arranged above the support frame 507. The bottom of the support frame 507 is fixedly connected to the drinking water frame 501.

[0050] When raising red fire ants, it is often necessary to feed them water. Generally, water is placed directly inside the box when feeding ants. This arrangement is not suitable for feeding red fire ants because frequently opening the top cover can easily allow red fire ants to escape. Red fire ants are toxic and can easily threaten the safety of breeders. However, the present device can place the drinking water frame 501 inside the red fire ant breeding box 1 through the drinking water frame 501, the fixing frame 502 and the water bottle 503, and the water bottle 503 is arranged on the outside of the red fire ant breeding box 1. The drinking water area and the water replenishing area are separately arranged. When replenishing water, there is no need to open the top cover 6 of the red fire ant breeding box 1. The device can guide the water inside the water bottle 503 to the inside of the drinking water frame 501 by setting the water bottle 503, the water-blocking sponge plug 504 and the second water-absorbing rope 505, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic water replenishment. In addition, this arrangement has no exposed through holes, which prevents the red fire ants from escaping. The support frame 507 can support the end of the second water-absorbing rope 505, which can ensure the stable guidance of the water source. Once the water level is higher than the end of the second water-absorbing rope 505, the water can slowly enter the drinking water frame 501 or even stop the water source from entering the drinking water frame 501. The device can automatically replenish water according to actual conditions to ensure that the red fire ants can continue to drink the water source. Example 7

[0051] This embodiment is an improvement made to Example 6. Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 Specifically, the feeding module 8 includes a guide tube 801, a sliding rod 802 and a blocking plate 803. The inner side of the guide tube 801 is slidingly connected to the vertically arranged sliding rod 802, the bottom of the guide tube 801 is rotatably connected to the semicircular blocking plate 803, and the top of the sliding rod 802 is fixedly connected to a horizontally arranged connecting rod 804.

[0052] When feeding the red fire ants, food is put into the guide tube 801, and by pressing down the sliding rod 802, its bottom can be squeezed against the blocking plate 803, and the blocking plate 803 rotates, so that the food can fall. The provided connecting rod 804 serves the purpose of fixing the sliding rod 802, and the sliding rod 802 is provided in a cylindrical shape, a part of which is located inside the guide tube 801. At this time, the moving position of the sliding rod 802 can be ensured, so that it can stably squeeze the specific position of the blocking plate 803, facilitating the rotation of the blocking plate 803. Example 8

[0053] This embodiment is an improvement made to Example 7. Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 Specifically, the outer side of the blocking plate 803 is fixedly connected with an extension plate 805, and the upper side of the extension plate 805 is fixedly connected with a limiting sleeve 806, and the inner side of the limiting sleeve 806 is provided with an elastic rod 807, and the other end of the elastic rod 807 is slidably installed on the inner side of the sliding cylinder 808, and the outer side of the sliding cylinder 808 is fixedly connected with the guide tube 801.

[0054] When the blocking plate 803 rotates, it drives the extension plate 805 to rotate, thereby causing the limiting sleeve 806 of the extension plate 805 to squeeze the elastic rod 807, and the elastic rod 807 slides inside the sliding cylinder 808. At this time, the blocking plate 803 can rotate normally, making it easier for food to fall. Example 9

[0055] This embodiment is an improvement made to Example 8. Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 Specifically, the outer side of the elastic rod 807 is fixedly connected with a fixed plate 810, and the other end of the fixed plate 810 is fixedly connected with a spring 809. The spring 809 is arranged on the outer side of the elastic rod 807, and the top of the spring 809 is fixedly connected with the sliding cylinder 808.

[0056] When there is no sliding rod 802 to squeeze, its elastic rod 806 is reset under the action of spring 809 and elastic rod 806. At this time, the limiting sleeve 806 is squeezed to squeeze the blocking plate 803, and the blocking plate 803 is reset to achieve the purpose of blocking the bottom of the guide tube 801 to prevent the winged ants from escaping. When the material is added next time, it is possible that the winged ants are located at the bottom of the guide tube 801. At this time, by observing the situation of the winged ants at the bottom of the guide tube 801, once there are no winged ants in the guide tube 801 or it is ensured that the winged ants will not escape when the food is added, the feeding purpose can be continued.
