[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] This invention provides a device for attracting and controlling cowpea thrips. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1-5 The system includes a rope 10 placed horizontally on a cowpea support. Several imitation cowpea flowers 20 are arranged in a straight line on the rope 10 via a connecting component. The imitation cowpea flowers 20 are integrated into one piece. A shade cloth 30 is placed on the rope 10. The shade cloth 30 can be fixed to the rope 10 with cable ties as needed to reinforce it and protect the imitation cowpea flowers. It is waterproof and lightproof, thus creating a shady place that thrips like. The shade cloth 30 is arranged in a V-shape, and the inner cavity of the shade cloth 30 is provided with several imitation cowpea flowers 20.

[0036] Among them, the imitation cowpea flower 20 comes in three color types: white, blue, and white and blue mixed. Specifically, there are 3 types: ① 2 meters long, 100% white flowers; ② 2 meters long, 100% blue flowers; ③ 2 meters long, 100% white and blue mixed flowers (the ratio of white to blue material in a single flower is white:blue = 3~7:3~7).

[0037] Experiments revealed that ① a 2-meter-long section with 100% white flowers and ③ a 2-meter-long section with 50% blue flowers and 50% white flowers (with adjacent white and blue flowers) had the best insect-repelling effect.

[0038] The connecting assembly includes: a connecting plate 40, a first connecting block 41, a second connecting block 42, and a through hole 43;

[0039] The bottom of the connecting plate 40 is fixedly installed with the imitation cowpea flower 20, the first connecting block 41 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate 40, and the top of the first connecting block 41 is provided with a second connecting block 42 through a fixing component. The through hole 43 is opened on the second connecting block 42, and the rope 10 passes through the through hole 43.

[0040] The fixing component includes: threaded groove 50, stud 51.

[0041] The threaded groove 50 is formed on the top of the first connecting block 41, and the stud 51 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the second connecting block 42, and the stud 51 is threadedly connected in the threaded groove 50.

[0042] In practical use, the operating steps for those skilled in the art are as follows:

[0043] First, thread the stud 51 into the threaded groove 50. Then, pass the rope 10 through the through hole 43 to place the mesh flower 20 on the rope 10. Next, tie the rope 10 between the two sets of cowpea supports so that the rope 10 can be laid horizontally on the cowpea supports in the field. Place the covering cloth 30 on the rope 10. At this time, the covering cloth 30 will be arranged in a V shape, and the mesh flower 20 will be located in the inner cavity of the covering cloth 30. When cowpea thrips enter the mesh flower 20, they will not be able to get out and will die from lack of water inside. During this process, the number of insects and the survival rate on the simulated cowpea flower 20 can be observed regularly as needed.

[0044] There are no strict restrictions on the type of covering fabric used here, as long as it meets the requirements of being waterproof and lightproof. For example, white nylon fabric is used in this embodiment.

[0045] In addition to causing the cowpea thrips to die naturally from dehydration, the following methods can be used to further enhance the control effect:

[0046] ① Add insect-sticking glue inside the imitation cowpea flower 20 so that cowpea thrips will be stuck as soon as they burrow into the imitation cowpea flower 20, thus increasing the mortality rate of thrips; (After being attracted to the imitation cowpea flower 20, the cowpea thrips will burrow into the flower, ensuring that the thrips are stuck as soon as they come into contact with it).

[0047] ② Push-pull combined control: Spray agricultural plant oil in the cowpea planting area (using its repellent effect on pests) to lure cowpea thrips to the cowpea flower 20 and kill them in a concentrated manner inside the device.

[0048] ③ For cowpea thrips inside the cowpea flower 20, chemical pesticides can be used to kill them in a concentrated manner, thereby avoiding direct spraying of pesticides onto the planted crops and direct contact with the crops.
