Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of insect collection, in particular to a classification and collection device for insects. Background Art
[0002] Insect monitoring and collection, essential for scientific research and teaching, typically require the classification and preservation of collected insects for specimen preparation, morphological identification, and molecular bioanalysis (DNA / RNA). A common method for insect monitoring and collection is the use of trapping devices such as spectral insect traps, CO2 mosquito traps, and fly traps. However, because most insects share similar biological habits, non-target insects can become entangled in the traps. Different species can be crowded into a single trap or net, leading to mutilated target insects. The sheer variety of species also complicates sorting. For example, in monitoring blood-sucking insects using spectral insect traps, the target insects are mosquitoes, midges, blackflies, and sandflies. These traps use light to lure insects into the traps or nets. Because most insects have the biological habit of phototaxis, and the insect collecting devices of insect traps on the market are all of a single design, they will collect a large number of Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, Coleoptera and other insects. Insects of different species and sizes are mixed together, and the target insects are easily damaged, causing great difficulty in sorting during the sorting process. For this purpose, a classification insect collecting device is provided. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a classification and insect collection device, comprising a first collecting device, a second collecting device, and a third collecting device.

The mesh diameter on the first collecting device is smaller than the mesh diameter on the second collecting device; the mesh diameter on the second collecting device is smaller than the mesh diameter on the third collecting device, and the top of the third collecting device is provided with an insect entrance.
[0005] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the first collecting device, the second collecting device and the third collecting device are all cylindrical.
[0006] As an optimal technical solution of the present invention, the diameters of the first collecting device, the second collecting device, and the third collecting device are different, and they are connected in a socket manner. The tops of the first collecting device, the second collecting device, and the third collecting device are all provided with limiting blocks, and the inner sides of the limiting blocks on the tops of the first collecting device and the second collecting device are provided with limiting grooves.
