[0001] The invention relates to a shaped storage box, in particular to a shaped storage box for preparing earthworm specimens, and belongs to the technical field of earthworm specimen preparation. Background Art

[0002] At present, the preparation process of earthworm specimens involves the use of anhydrous ethanol for anesthesia and shaping, which may involve the following problems:

[0003] During the anesthesia process, the earthworms will twist and be difficult to shape, which will cause the operation to take a long time.

[0004] For injured earthworms collected from the wild, they will self-decompose and cause the death and decomposition of other earthworms due to the action of enzymes, so they need to be made into specimens immediately and cannot be stored together with healthy earthworms. The current practice is to place them directly in centrifuge tubes filled with anhydrous ethanol, which causes the earthworms to be severely deformed.

[0005] The original method was to use tweezers to control the head and tail of the earthworm to keep it still until it became stiff. Only one earthworm could be processed at a time, and because the operators had different skills, it was difficult to keep the sample state consistent.

[0006] The above operations and processes can easily cause the prepared earthworm specimens to be deformed, greatly increasing the difficulty of identifying the earthworm species. Summary of the Invention
