Thus, the angle of the climbing channel 5 suitable for the old worm can be determined according to the number of pupae in different pupation boxes 2. The present embodiment is provided with three groups of climbing channels 5 with different angles. Preferably, in order to facilitate the observation and recording of the situation of the black soldier flies in the breeding box 1, a transparent breeding observation port 11 is provided on the side wall of the breeding box 1.

[0029] A gland 12 is provided on the top of the breeding box 1, and the gland 12 can seal the breeding box 1. The gland 12 can move relative to the breeding box 1 to open or close the breeding box 1. A square through hole is provided in the middle of the gland 12, and a first gauze is provided in the square through hole. A temperature and humidity probe is provided above the first gauze to detect the temperature and humidity in the breeding box 1. A first heating plate is provided at the bottom of the outer side of the breeding box 1, and the first heating plate and the temperature and humidity probe are both connected to the processor, and the processor can detect and adjust the temperature and humidity in the breeding box 1 in real time. Preferably, an air outlet 13 is provided on the side wall above the gland 12, and the air outlet 13 is connected to the ventilation duct 9, and the ventilation duct 9 is connected to the external environment.

It is worth noting that a humidification passage is provided between the top of the pupation box 2 and the breeding box 1, and the height of the humidification passage is 2mm, so that the humidifier can humidify in the breeding box 1 to facilitate humidification. It is understandable that the humidifier can also humidify in the breeding box 1 through the opening 21 on the side wall of the pupation box 2 for the black soldier flies to crawl into.

[0031] Preferably, the inner wall at the lower end of the ascending channel 6 is provided with a light strip, which can attract the adult insects to fly into the ascending channel 6 and fly into the eclosion area through the ascending channel 6. It is worth noting that the side wall of the ascending channel 6 is provided with an exhaust channel 61, which is connected to the ventilation duct 9.

[0032] The emergence zone includes an upper boss 31, which is arranged above the lower cabin 8, and a through hole is arranged on the upper surface of the upper boss 31. The ascending channel 6 is inserted into the through hole of the upper boss 31 and the upper surface of the upper boss 31 is flush with the upper end surface of the ascending channel 6. The upper boss 31 is detachably connected to the transparent cover 3, and a window is arranged above the transparent cover 3. An upper bracket 32 ​​is inserted into the window. The upper part of the upper bracket 32 ​​is connected to the light frame, and a chandelier is arranged in the light frame.

[0033] A hanging basket 33 is bolted to the bottom of the upper bracket 32 ​​through a fishing line, and green leaves are placed in the hanging basket 33, and black soldier flies can rest and mate on the green leaves. It is worth noting that an egg-laying plate 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper bracket 32, and the black soldier flies that have finished mating can fly to the egg-laying plate 34 to lay eggs. The black soldier flies that have laid eggs will die soon, ending their short life. Preferably, in order to facilitate the removal of the egg-laying plate 34, an upper cover 35 is provided on the upper end surface of the lamp frame, and a pull ring is provided on the upper cover 35. By pulling the pull ring upward, the upper bracket 32 ​​can be lifted out of the transparent cover 3 as a whole, and then eggs can be taken or green leaves can be placed.

[0034] Preferably, the upper part of the upper bracket 32 ​​is wrapped with filter cotton 36, and the filter cotton 36 is tightly matched with the window above the transparent cover 3, and the external air can enter the transparent cover 3 after being filtered by the filter cotton 36. The upper surface of the upper boss 31 is provided with an exhaust port 37, and the exhaust port 37 is connected to the ventilation duct 9 to maintain the air flow in the transparent cover 3. Preferably, a temperature and humidity probe is provided below the exhaust port 37, and a second heating plate is provided on the upper surface of the upper boss 31. The second heating plate and the temperature and humidity probe are both connected to the processor, and the processor can detect and adjust the temperature and humidity in the feathering area in real time.

[0035] The separation area includes a separation box 4, which is plugged into the lower cabin 8 and arranged below the breeding box 1. The first sieve plate 41 and the second sieve plate 42 are detachably connected in the separation box 4. The first sieve plate 41 is arranged above the second sieve plate 42, and the sieve holes of the first sieve plate 41 are larger than the sieve holes of the second sieve plate 42. When the old insects in the breeding area cannot climb to the pupation area, artificial separation is required. The breeding box 1 and the separation box 4 are pulled out, and the materials eaten by the old insects in the breeding area and the old insects that have not climbed out are placed on the first sieve plate 41 for separation. After separation, the materials on the first sieve plate 41 are taken out, the first sieve plate 41 is taken out from the separation box 4, and then the old insects on the second sieve plate 42 are placed in the pupation box 2 for pupation. The second sieve plate 42 is taken out again, and the insect sand under the second sieve plate 42 is collected. The taken out insect sand can be used for exploring planting experiments. When the pupae in the pupation zone fly up, the old insects that have not completed pupation can be separated by the second sieve plate 42, and the pupation auxiliary materials and the remaining old insects are placed on the second sieve plate 42, and the pupation auxiliary materials and the old insects are moved so that all the pupation auxiliary materials fall below the second sieve plate 42. Take out the old insects on the second sieve plate 42, open the upper cover 35 of the eclosion zone, and put them on the upper boss 31 for eclosion.

[0037] When the black soldier fly full life process display device of the present invention is used for the first time, first pull out the breeding box 1, open the pressure cover 12, put in the eggs and materials, put the pupation auxiliary materials in the pupation area, cover the pressure cover 12, and push the breeding box 1 back into the lower cabin 8. Plug in the power supply and start the touch screen 81 to run the program. In the next month, the black soldier flies in the breeding area will gradually grow up, and the characteristics of the black soldier flies can be observed every day. The grown-up black soldier flies automatically crawl into the pupation box 2, and after automatically pupating into flying insects in the pupation box 2, the breeding box 1 and the pupation box 2 are pulled out, and the remaining materials and the remaining black soldier flies in the breeding box 1 and the pupation box 2 are taken out and put into the separation area for separation. The upper bracket 32 ​​above the transparent cover 3 is raised, the egg-laying plate 34 is placed, and then the upper bracket 32 ​​is returned. After the black soldier flies rise to the eclosion area, they automatically mate and lay eggs, and the black soldier flies automatically die after laying eggs a few days later. Remove the transparent cover 3, clean the transparent cover 3 and the dead black soldier flies, and cover the transparent cover 3 after completion. Take out the upper support 32, take out the egg-laying plate 34, scrape off the eggs with a tool, and put them into the breeding area for breeding again.
