Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of specimen transportation, in particular to a lepidopteran insect specimen transportation box. Background Art
[0002] Lepidoptera, which includes various butterflies and moths, are very fragile specimens and therefore require careful storage. Existing methods for preserving Lepidoptera specimens primarily use triangular paper bags, which are relatively inexpensive but can only be used to package specimens that have not yet expanded their wings and lack a cushioning mechanism, making them susceptible to damage during transport.
[0003] In addition to the commonly used triangular paper bag method, some specimens in the prior art are also preserved in specimen boxes. For example, the patent application number 201921267975.5 discloses a simple butterfly specimen collection box, which uses a first wing pressing member and a second wing pressing member that can be flipped to press the upper and lower wings of the butterfly to achieve the packaging of the spread-wing specimens. However, it still has the following disadvantages: (1) When fixing the specimen, it is necessary to first use a needle to preliminarily position the specimen trunk, then adjust the position of the wings, and then rotate the first wing pressing member and the second wing pressing member to press the upper and lower wings respectively. The operation is relatively troublesome, and it has no protection measures for dry wings. It can only be used to collect fresh specimens that have just been collected, and is not suitable for dried specimens that have been prepared; (2) The number of specimens placed in the collection box is small, and specimens with large size differences cannot be placed, and it cannot be transported in large quantities.
