Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of design and improvement of equipment and facilities used in insect research, and in particular relates to a foldable and portable insect cage. Background Art

[0002] In the field of entomology research, with the continuous deepening of research on biodiversity, ecosystem functions and the relationship between insects and other organisms, scientific researchers need to frequently collect insect samples in the wild and bring them back to the laboratory for observation, breeding and experimental analysis. In studying the behavioral habits, reproductive characteristics and ecological adaptability of insects, it is necessary to observe the activity status and life processes of insects under different environmental conditions for a long time. At the same time, in terms of popular science education, more and more schools, science and technology museums, and natural history museums are carrying out insect science popularization activities to enhance the public's understanding of the insect world and protection awareness. These activities often require showing various live insects to the audience, allowing them to intuitively feel the insects' morphology, structure and living habits. Therefore, both scientific research and popular science education have put forward an urgent need for tools that can conveniently carry and store insects. Traditional insect cages can no longer meet these growing demands in terms of portability and functionality. Insect cages are mainly composed of mesh covers and entrances and exits, but the space size of traditional cages is fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. When collecting insect samples, sometimes we encounter insect groups with large numbers or large sizes. If the cage space is too small, the insects will squeeze and fight with each other, affecting their survival status and behavioral performance, which is not conducive to subsequent research and observation. On the contrary, if the cage space is too large, it will waste space during transportation and storage, and increase the inconvenience of carrying. When collecting locust gregarious insects, dozens or even hundreds of individuals may be captured at a time, but traditional small cages cannot accommodate so many insects, and using large cages will cause empty space when not needed. The space of the traditional insect cage is fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. When collecting insect samples, sometimes a large number of insects or a large insect group will be encountered. If the insect cage space is too small, the insects will squeeze and fight with each other, affecting their survival status and behavioral performance, which is not conducive to subsequent research and observation. On the contrary, if the insect cage space is too large, it will waste space during transportation and storage, and increase the inconvenience of carrying. When collecting locust gregarious insects, dozens or even hundreds of individuals may be captured at a time, but traditional small insect cages cannot accommodate so many insects, and the use of large insect cages will cause space waste and transportation difficulties when they are not needed.
