Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of insect propagation technology, and in particular relates to a multifunctional automatic propagation and collection device for powdery insects. Background Technology

[0002] Mealworms, such as the yellow mealworm and the red flour beetle, are among the main threats to stored grain security, directly causing grain loss, quality decline, and even mold. Therefore, research and control of mealworms are crucial. As important resource insects, mealworms not only play a key role in the ecosystem but also have wide applications in biodegradation, feed production, and biological control. Propagating mealworms not only provides experimental materials for scientific research but also reduces labor costs for the commercialization of mealworms as resource insects through automation and large-scale production. However, existing propagation technologies have many problems: for example, they cannot obtain eggs individually, making it difficult to guarantee the purity of a single generation of insects; they lack precise environmental control functions, making it difficult to meet the temperature and humidity requirements for insect growth; manual operation is cumbersome, resulting in low propagation efficiency; and the devices have limited functionality, failing to meet the propagation needs of various mealworm species. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automated propagation device that can solve the above problems, has comprehensive functions, and is easy to operate, to meet the needs of scientific research, production, control, and commercialization.
