Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of butterfly breeding, in particular to a butterfly breeding box. Background Technique
[0002] Butterflies are a general term for insects in the class Insecta, superorder Amphiesmenoptera, order Lepidoptera, and superfamily Papilionoidea. Nearly 20,000 species have been recorded worldwide. At present, the main breeding mode of butterflies in China is a mixed indoor and outdoor breeding mode, that is, artificial breeding is carried out indoors during the larval stage, and the adult stage adopts the mode of releasing in the breeding farm. Therefore, it can be seen that the larval stage is a very crucial link to obtain a large number of butterflies.
[0003] During the process of artificially breeding butterfly larvae, due to the large breeding scale and high larval density, they will produce a large amount of feces. However, due to relying on manual cleaning, these feces are often difficult to be processed in time. The long-term accumulation of feces not only easily breeds germs, but also may pollute the growth environment of the larvae, thereby affecting the health status of the larvae, and even threatening the life safety of the butterfly larvae in severe cases.
