Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oviposition device technology, and in particular to an oviposition device for the litchi fruit borer. Background Technology

[0002] The litchi fruit borer is an insect belonging to the genus Lysimachia of the family Lysimachia in the order Lepidoptera. It is the most important pest of litchi and longan fruits, and also damages tender stems, leaves, and flower spikes. When the larvae damage young fruits, they feed on the seeds; when they damage nearly mature fruits, they generally only feed on the fruit stalks. They can have adverse effects on plants during the shoot growth stage, flowering stage, fruiting stage, and when the fruit begins to color.

[0003] Studies have found that the fruit borer has difficulty laying eggs in the absence of lychee or longan fruits. Therefore, collecting eggs indoors is difficult, and researchers can only collect eggs from the wild. However, collecting eggs in the wild is also difficult because the eggs are small and scattered, making them hard to collect. Currently, there are no suitable devices on the market for the lychee fruit borer to lay eggs, and little is known about its egg-laying habits. To study the hatching of fruit borer eggs and the growth habits of larvae, there is an urgent need to design an egg-laying device for further research on this insect.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a simple, practical and suitable oviposition device for litchi fruit borers is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a device for the oviposition of the litchi fruit borer, solving the technical problem of the current lack of a dedicated device for the oviposition of the litchi fruit borer.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a lychee fruit borer egg-laying device, comprising: water-absorbing cotton containing moisture, a holding board, and an egg-laying board.

[0007] The bottom side of the holding board is fixed to the top of the absorbent cotton, and the top of the board is provided with a plurality of holding holes for holding lychees or longans at intervals; the bottom side of the egg-laying board is placed on the holding board so as to use the lychees or longans placed on the holding board to attract borers to lay eggs on the egg-laying board.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: a novel oviposition device for lychee fruit borers is designed. First, the water contained in the absorbent cotton is used to provide moisture to the lychees or longans placed on the holding plate, keeping them fresh. Then, the oviposition plate is placed on the holding plate, and the scent emitted by the lychees or longans can be used to attract the fruit borers to lay their eggs on the oviposition plate, which is convenient for researchers to study the oviposition habits of the fruit borers.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0010] Furthermore, the oviposition plate is provided with multiple grooves.

[0011] The further beneficial effect of adopting the above is that the oviposition plate is provided with multiple continuous grooves, which facilitates the oviposition of borers in laying eggs in the grooves.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a protective cover with the open end facing downwards, the protective cover covering the egg-laying plate and the holding plate and being secured to the absorbent cotton.

[0013] The further beneficial effect of adopting the above is that by using a protective cover to cover the oviposition board and the holding board and securing it to the absorbent cotton, the oviposition insects can be prevented from flying away when they lay eggs, and a dark oviposition environment can be provided.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes an elastically deformable locking ring, which is sleeved outside the protective cover.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes multiple cotton balls, which are placed at intervals in the gap between the egg-laying plate and the holding plate.

[0016] The further beneficial effect of the above method is that the lychee or longan fruit stem is placed close to the wet cotton ball, keeping the lychee or longan fresh.

[0017] Furthermore, the holding plate is made of wood or plastic.

[0018] Furthermore, the oviposition board is made of breathable paper material. Attached Figure Description
