Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect specimen storage technology, specifically to an insect specimen box with variable height. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, specimen boxes are all of fixed height, usually between 3cm and 8cm. These specimen boxes are mostly suitable for the preservation of small insect specimens, such as longhorn beetles, fruit flies, bark beetles, and weevils.

[0003] However, some beetles are enormous, reaching up to 7cm in height, such as the Hercules beetle, the elephant beetle, and the Southern Hercules beetle. Existing specimen boxes, due to their fixed design specifications, are completely unsuitable for preserving such large insects. Furthermore, to ensure long-term preservation, specimen preservation systems typically use camphor blocks for mold and insect control, and silica gel desiccants for humidity regulation. However, during periodic maintenance, the sealing components must be completely removed to replenish consumables. This process greatly increases the risk of accidental contact with the insects, causing damage to the specimens. Traditional open-top designs significantly increase operational risks, thus necessitating improvement. Utility Model Content
