Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of parasitic bee collecting devices, in particular to an automatic parasitic bee collecting device. Background Art

[0002] Biological control is a safe and sustainable means of pest control, which is to make full use of various natural enemies such as predatory insects, parasitic wasps or pathogenic microorganisms to manage agricultural and forestry pests. Parasitic wasps are a type of bees that lay eggs on the surface or body of the host (mainly insects) to complete their own development and eventually kill the host. Parasitic wasps can kill a large number of host pests, play a huge role in naturally controlling the number of pests, and are an important part of the entire ecosystem. In fact, many species of parasitic wasps have been used in the biological control of agricultural and forestry pests, achieving good economic and ecological benefits.

[0003] The collection and species identification of pest parasitic wasps are the primary prerequisites for the application of parasitic wasps in biological control. At present, the collection of parasitic wasp specimens at home and abroad is mainly done by placing the parasitized pests in containers or devices such as culture dishes, insect boxes, and gauze bags, waiting for the parasitic wasps to emerge, and then catching them by hand or using a sucker. On the one hand, since most parasitic wasps are tiny or even wingless and easy to hide, catching them is difficult and inefficient; on the other hand, these collection methods require special personnel to check the samples from time to time, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Without nutritional supplements, the life span of parasitic wasps is short, and untimely collection often results in the decay of dead parasitic wasp samples, which is not conducive to the subsequent morphological and molecular identification analysis of the species.
