The top of the front baffle 109 is connected to the breeding rack 101 through a hinge. The front baffle 109 covers the front side of the breeding trays 102 due to gravity and can be completely sealed without gaps. A left baffle 110 is fixed at the position on the left side of the breeding rack 101 corresponding to the breeding trays 102. A detachable screen window 111 is installed on the left baffle 110. The height of the detachable screen window 111 is about 0.2 - 0.5 cm higher than the breeding trays 102 (to prevent water from overflowing from the screen window when the water level in the breeding trays is too high and has not been drained). The mesh density of the screen is not greater than 40 meshes, which can be used for ventilation and light transmission and can be replaced when damaged. A right baffle 112 is fixed at the position on the right side of the breeding rack 101 corresponding to the breeding trays 102. A through hole 113 is opened on the right baffle 112.

[0037] It should be noted that a magnetic adsorption ring 204 is connected to the left end of the outer net cylinder 201, and the magnetic adsorption ring 204 is adsorbed at a position outside the through hole 113 on the right baffle 112.

[0038] It should be noted that an attached-wall mesh bag 303 is provided on the front side of the breeding mosquito cage 302, and a feeding sugar water device 304 is provided on the right side of the breeding mosquito cage 302.

[0039] It is worth introducing that a platform support plate 115 is fixed at a position corresponding to the automatic feeder 105 on the breeding rack 101, and the automatic feeder 105 is installed on the platform support plate 115.

[0040] Among them, the automatic feeder 105, the cold light 106, and the feeding sugar water device 304 are prior arts and will not be elaborated here; at the same time, the present utility model also includes a power supply, a controller, a switch, etc., which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be elaborated here.

[0041] Working principle and process: The larvae are placed in the feeding tray 102, and water is injected into the feeding tray 102 through the water injection main pipe 107 and the water injection branch pipe 108. The water height in the feeding tray 102 is 3 - 5 cm, and the water exceeding the water level will be discharged from the larvae breeding box 1 through the over-limit water guide port 103 and the drainage trough 104. Filter cotton is provided in both the over-limit water guide port 103 and the drainage trough 104 to prevent the larvae from being carried away by the water flow. After the automatic feeder 105 sets the feeding time and pre-adds the feed, it can feed at a fixed time. The power supply of each layer of cold light 106 is connected to a timing switch. During the breeding period, there is 12-hour light and 12-hour darkness every day. By installing the light-shielding plate 4 on the front, left, and right sides of the larvae breeding box 1, the phototaxis of the adult mosquitoes can be utilized to make them enter the one-way channel 2. The funnel-shaped inner net cylinder 202 of the one-way channel 2 enables the adult mosquitoes to enter the breeding mosquito cage 302 of the adult mosquito collection box 3 unidirectionally. An attached-wall mesh bag 303 is installed on the front side of the breeding mosquito cage 302, which can be used to hold the blood-feeding mice. A feeding sugar water device 304 is provided on the right side of the breeding mosquito cage 302 for feeding sugar water, so that the adult mosquitoes can be automatically collected. After the breeding and collection process, the feeding tray 102 can be completely pulled out for easy cleaning and disinfection, which is beneficial for the use of the larvae breeding box 1.
