The first sieve plate 41 is positioned above the second sieve plate 42, and the sieve holes of the first sieve plate 41 are larger than those of the second sieve plate 42. When older insects in the rearing zone cannot climb to the pupation zone, manual separation is required. The rearing box 1 and the separation box 4 are removed. The material consumed by the older insects in the rearing zone and the older insects that have not yet climbed out are placed on the first sieve plate 41 for separation. After separation, the material on the first sieve plate 41 is removed, and the first sieve plate 41 is taken out of the separation box 4. Then, the older insects on the second sieve plate 42 are placed into the pupation box 2 for pupation. The second sieve plate 42 is then removed again, and the insect sand below the second sieve plate 42 is collected. This insect sand can be used for exploratory planting experiments. After the pupae in the pupation zone ascend, the un-pupaeped insects can be separated using the second sieve plate 42. Place the pupation aid and the remaining insects on the second sieve plate 42, and gently move the aid and insects to allow all the aid to fall below the second sieve plate 42. Remove the insects from the second sieve plate 42, open the top cover 35 of the emergence zone, and place them on the upper protrusion 31 for emergence.

Plug in the power and start the program on the touch screen 81. Over the next month, the black soldier flies in the breeding area will gradually grow, and their characteristics can be observed daily. After growing up, the older black soldier flies will automatically crawl into the pupation box 2, where they will automatically pupate and become flying insects. Then, pull out the breeding box 1 and the pupation box 2, remove the remaining materials and the remaining black soldier flies from the breeding box 1 and the pupation box 2, and place them in the separation area for separation. Lift the upper support 32 above the transparent cover 3, put in the egg-laying plate 34, and then put the upper support 32 back. After the black soldier flies fly to the emergence area, it will automatically mate and lay eggs. After laying eggs, the black soldier flies will automatically die a few days later.
