[0002] Common predatory ladybugs such as the toybird, multicolored ladybug and seven-spotted ladybug are important natural enemy insects in the field. They can prey on a variety of common agricultural pests, such as aphids, whiteflies, leafhoppers, thrips, etc. Their wide distribution, diverse diet and long life cycle make them an important natural enemy resource. They are widely used to control the number of crop pests, reduce the use of chemical pesticides, and increase the yield and quality of crops. Large-scale breeding and large-scale release of natural enemy insects are an important method of biological control. Therefore, it is particularly important to ensure the survival rate and freshness of ladybugs during transportation.
[0003] Traditional ladybug transportation methods often use simple containers, water bottles or bags for loading. This transportation method has many shortcomings. First, due to the simple structure of the container or bag, it is unable to provide a stable living environment for the ladybug and is easily affected by external environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, light, etc., resulting in high mortality and low freshness of the ladybug during transportation. Secondly, the traditional transportation method lacks an effective ventilation and feeding system and cannot provide the necessary oxygen and food for the ladybug, further exacerbating the survival pressure of the ladybug during transportation. Therefore, a storage device for long-distance transportation of ladybugs is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
