Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of insect behavior observation, in particular to a Y-shaped tube for observing the olfactory behavior of fruit borers. Background Art

[0002] Borer larvae are cylindrical insects that feed inside plants. They burrow into plants to feed, primarily targeting fruits, seeds, and stems, severely impacting agricultural production. Because larvae hide inside plants, direct control is difficult, so the best time to control borer larvae is when they become adults.

[0003] Olfaction is one of the important factors affecting insect behavior. Some volatile chemicals have an attractant or repellent effect on insects, and have very important biological significance for insects' foraging, courtship, reproduction, and selection of hosts and habitats.

[0004] Traditional Y-tubes are glass three-pronged tubes used to measure insect tropism. An odor source is placed in two equal-length tubes at the upper end of the Y-shaped tube, while the test insect is placed in the other tube at the lower end. When the insect reaches the bifurcation, it uses its sense of smell to identify the odor source and enters the tube containing the preferred odor source. However, existing Y-tubes often remain open at both ends during use, making it easy for the insect to escape when not in use, thus affecting the performance of the experiment and the accuracy of the results.
