Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of caterpillar bug breeding, and in particular to a stocking device for improving the vitality of caterpillar bugs. Background Art

[0002] The caterpillar is a natural enemy insect with a wide range of prey. It can prey on more than 40 common agricultural and forestry pests such as pine caterpillars, loopers, leaf beetles, spur moths, scale insects, aphids, cabbage worms, etc., and has a significant effect in controlling the number of pest populations. The use of caterpillars for biological control can greatly reduce the use of pesticides in the field and greenhouse, protect the ecological environment, and ensure food and food safety. Existing caterpillar breeding adopts indoor breeding to lay eggs, and then the eggs are placed outside to hatch. However, the mortality rate of caterpillar larvae hatched from the eggs laid by caterpillars raised indoors is extremely high when placed outside. The reason is that the indoor environmental parameters are relatively stable, and the caterpillar eggs that have adapted to the indoor environment are difficult to adapt to the outside world where the environmental parameters are unpredictable.

[0003] The search application number 201910858413.6 discloses a device for outdoor stocking of caterpillars, comprising: a lower frame, the upper and lower surfaces of the upper frame are connected; an upper frame, the upper frame has the same shape as the lower frame, the upper frame is connected to the lower frame through a support column, and the upper frame and the lower frame are mirror-symmetrical with the horizontal plane passing through the midpoint of the support column as the reference plane; a gauze cover, the gauze cover is made of gauze, and the gauze cover matches the shape of the upper frame and the lower frame; an egg-laying gauze, the egg-laying gauze is detachably connected to the lower surface of the upper frame in the gauze cover, the egg-laying gauze isolates the space in the gauze cover, and the egg-laying gauze is parallel to the horizontal plane. Although this technical solution can avoid the problem of extremely high mortality of caterpillar larvae hatched from eggs laid by raised caterpillars when placed in the outside world.

[0004] However, the inventors have discovered that this technical solution still has at least the following defects:

[0005] First, the gauze cover provided in this technology has limited hardness and is easily damaged by the outside world, such as scratches by hard objects, shearing by arthropods, and pulling by animals that prey on caterpillars. If the gauze cover is damaged, the caterpillars may escape.

[0006] Second, in this technical solution, it is cumbersome for the operator to enter the box to perform the operation. Summary of the invention
