Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of adult insect collection, and in particular to a device for manually collecting adult lepidopteran insects. Background Technology

[0002] Lepidoptera pests cause significant damage, necessitating indoor subculture and breeding of experimental lepidopteran populations for relevant experiments. Currently, artificial indoor breeding and subculture preservation techniques for lepidopteran pests are well-established. In the rearing of lepidopteran pests, suitable collection devices for adult lepidopteran pests and their eggs can save manpower and resources, and these devices can enhance the lifespan and reproductive capacity of adult lepidopteran pests. However, during indoor rearing of lepidopteran pests, problems arise such as haphazard flying and damage of adults during collection; there is also the issue of adult eggs being mixed with scales, making rearing inconvenient.

[0003] Existing adult insect collection devices are simple, but their use in raising lepidopteran pests presents several problems. First, the collection tubes are prone to falling off, causing the collected adults to scatter. Second, adults collected by the tubes often fly away. Third, electric insect suction devices have insufficient power to attract insects, while excessive power can damage them, reducing egg production. Fourth, after the adults lay eggs, they need to be manually separated from the scales. Therefore, finding a convenient and harmless method for raising and collecting adult lepidopteran pests and their eggs has always been a limiting factor in lepidopteran pest rearing.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides a device for manually collecting adult lepidopteran insects, including a collection component 100, including a collection bottle 101, a first collection box 102 at the bottom of the collection bottle 101, and a second collection box 103 at the bottom of the first collection box 102.

[0028] Specifically, the collection bottle 101 has a holding space and is mainly used to collect adult lepidopteran insects. In areas where adult lepidopteran insects gather, the insects can be brought into the collection bottle 101 by holding it in hand and shaking it continuously.

[0029] Preferably, the first collection box 102 is located at the bottom of the collection bottle 101 and is mainly used to receive insect eggs and scale powder that fall into the collection bottle 101. The side wall of the first collection box 102 is inclined, and the uppermost opening is larger than the bottom of the collection bottle 101, which facilitates fixing the collection bottle 101 and collecting insect eggs.

[0030] Furthermore, the second collection box 102 is located at the bottom of the first collection box 102, and the inclination of the side wall of the second collection box 102 is the same as that of the first collection box 102, which can collect the fallen scale powder and avoid pollution.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Reference Figure 3-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and differs from the previous embodiment in that: the top of the collection bottle 101 is provided with a bottle mouth 101a; the outer wall of the bottle mouth 101a is provided with a thread 101a-1, the inner wall of the bottle mouth 101a is provided with a limiting groove 101a-2, and the bottle mouth 101a is sealed by a bottle cap 101b; the side wall of the collection bottle 101 is provided with a pouring port 101c, and the pouring port 101c is also sealed by a bottle cap 101b; a handle 101d is provided on the side wall of the collection bottle 101 at a position opposite to the pouring port 101c; a first mesh 101e is provided at the bottom of the collection bottle 101; an anti-escape component 101f is provided inside the bottle mouth 101a, and the anti-escape component 101f includes a limiting ring 101f-1 and an arc-shaped stop block 101f-2.

[0033] Specifically, the cap 101b has an external thread that mates with the thread 101a-1, ensuring the sealing of the bottle opening 101a. The pouring spout 101c on the side wall of the collection bottle 101 can pour out the dead adult insects, preventing the dead insects from rotting inside the collection bottle 101 and affecting the egg-laying of the remaining adult insects.

[0034] Preferably, the limiting groove 101a-2 cooperates with the limiting ring 101f-1 to fix the escape-prevention component 101f near the bottle opening 101a. The arc-shaped baffles 101f-2 are circumferentially distributed on the limiting ring 101f-1, and the end of the arc-shaped baffles 101f-2 away from the limiting ring 101f-1 is bent inward. It should be noted that the arc-shaped baffles 101f-2 are made of flexible material. When the adult insect passes through the bottle opening 101a, the adult insect pushes the arc-shaped baffles 101f-2 outward, allowing the adult insect to smoothly pass through the escape-prevention component 101f and enter the collection bottle 101.

[0035] When an adult insect tries to escape from the collection bottle 101 through the bottle opening 101a, the opening formed by the escape-proof component 101f is smaller than the size of the adult insect. When the adult insect touches the arc-shaped stop 101f-2, the arc-shaped stop 101f-2 will retract inward, further reducing the size of the opening, making it difficult for the adult insect to pass through the escape-proof component 101f, thus solving the problem of the adult insect escaping.

[0036] Furthermore, the first mesh 101e at the bottom of the collection bottle 101 is set to a 50-80 mesh mesh. The specific model of the first mesh 101e needs to be determined based on the size of the adult insect's eggs. Ultimately, it is necessary to ensure that the size of each hole in the mesh is slightly larger than the size of the adult insect's eggs, so that the eggs can fall smoothly and the collection of the eggs can be completed.

[0037] To prevent adult insects from escaping from the bottle opening 101a and pouring spout 101c, the bottle needs to be sealed with the bottle cap 101b. The first mesh 101e, in addition to screening insect eggs, also allows outside air to enter the collection bottle 101, thus completing the air circulation inside the collection bottle 101 and preventing the adult insects from suffocating.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] Reference Figure 5 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and differs from the previous embodiment in that: the side wall of the first collection box 102 is provided with a first conical surface 102a, the outer side of the first conical surface 102a is provided with a slot 102b, and the bottom of the first collection box 102 is provided with a second mesh 102c; the side wall of the second collection box 103 is provided with a second conical surface 103a, and the upper edge of the second conical surface 103a is provided with an annular baffle 103b.

[0040] Specifically, the first collection box 102 is set at the bottom of the collection bottle 101 and is mainly used for collecting insect eggs. The first collection box 102 is shaped like a horn by setting a first conical surface 102a, with the upper opening being larger than the bottom of the collection bottle 101, which makes it easier to stabilize the collection bottle 101 and prevent it from tipping over.

[0041] Preferably, the second collection box 103 also adopts a conical structure, and the inclination of the second conical surface 103a is consistent with the inclination of the first conical surface 102a, which can make the annular baffle 103b and the slot 102b fit completely, further improving the stability of the device.

[0042] Furthermore, the bottom of the first collection box 102 uses a 200-300 mesh screen. Since the collection bottle 101 contains not only insect eggs but also scales from adult lepidopteran insects, some of which adhere to the eggs, these scales not only affect egg development but also the estimation of egg numbers. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the scales that have fallen into the collection bottle 101. By setting up a second mesh screen 102c, it is ensured that each opening allows scales to pass through, and the openings are larger than the size of the insect eggs. Scales adhering to the eggs can be removed using a fan and a blower. The scales removed from the first collection box 102 will eventually fall into the second collection box 103, reducing contamination.
