Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cricket capture technology, and in particular to a cricket catcher. Background Technology

[0002] "Qu insects" mainly refer to a type of insect that easily proliferates during the brewing process, especially during the production and storage of koji (fermentation starter). They are generally referred to as "qu insects". Among them, the main qu insects include the Turkish flat flour beetle, coffee bean weevil, medicinal herb beetle, yellow-spotted tassel beetle, and red flour beetle, with the Turkish flat flour beetle being the most numerous, accounting for about 85% of the total.

[0003] In distilleries, abundant food and a suitable living environment make it easier for koji insects to proliferate. Koji insects feed on koji, and koji damaged by a large number of koji insects will have wormholes all over the finished product, resulting in a significant loss in quality. They will also damage the microbial community in the koji, not only weakening the aroma but also greatly reducing the saccharification and liquefaction capabilities of the koji. The more severely the koji is eaten by koji insects, the worse its fermentation ability will be. Some koji may even be completely eaten down to the empty shell, resulting in a reduction in the production of finished koji.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to capture aspergillus worms in the winery. Currently, the main methods for capturing pests include physical control, biological control, and chemical control. Among them, biological control technology uses the natural enemies of aspergillus worms for capture, but obviously, it is impossible to use natural enemies to capture aspergillus worms in a winery. Chemical control technology uses chemical agents to kill aspergillus worms; however, the use of chemical agents in a winery is also not feasible.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a cricket catcher that is simple in structure, reliable in use, and based on physical control technology. Utility Model Content
