Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of breeding technology for the Common Mormon butterfly, and specifically refers to a breeding box for the Common Mormon butterfly. Background Technology

[0002] Butterflies, as one of the most ornamental and common insect groups, are an indispensable part of the natural ecosystem. An ecosystem relies on every animal, insect, microorganism, and plant to maintain its balance and prosperity.

[0003] There are approximately 20,000 species of butterflies worldwide, and butterflies are an important component of biodiversity. Among them, butterflies play a vital role in maintaining plant species diversity by pollinating plants through visiting flowers, promoting the reproduction of flowering plants.

[0004] Studies have shown that butterflies play a crucial role in pollination within vegetated ecosystems. However, in recent years, due to factors such as island development and climate change, wild butterfly populations have declined sharply, with some populations even facing extinction. This not only threatens the survival of island butterflies but also negatively impacts plant populations that rely on their pollination and the stability of the entire ecosystem. The Common Mormon (Papilio spp.) butterfly, with its wide distribution and adults frequently visiting flowers, is an important pollinating insect.

[0005] To protect the island population of the Common Mormon butterfly and restore its ecological functions, it is imperative to conduct artificial breeding research. Artificial breeding can rapidly increase the population size of the Common Mormon butterfly, providing a sufficient source of offspring for its reintroduction into the wild and population rejuvenation.

[0006] At the same time, artificial intelligence and technology can also provide experimental materials for studying the biological characteristics and ecological functions of the Common Mormon butterfly, and promote scientific research in related fields.

[0007] Based on this, a breeding box for the Common Mormon butterfly is proposed to solve the problems of difficulty in large-scale breeding, high cost, and low efficiency in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the invention objective, technical solution and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a breeding box for the Common Mormon butterfly includes a first net chamber. The space inside the first net chamber is divided into multiple independent but interconnected areas by plates. The multiple areas include an adult area, a larval rearing area, a growth area, and an emergence area. The adult area is connected to the larval rearing area, the growth area, and the emergence area, respectively.

[0034] Among them, the adult area corresponds to the nuptial flight room 1, the larval rearing area corresponds to the isolation net cage, the growth area corresponds to the growth room 3, and the emergence area corresponds to the emergence cage 8.

[0035] The nuptial flight chamber 1, the isolation net cage, and the growth chamber 3 are each equipped with plants to meet the activities and needs of the Common Mormon butterfly at different stages of its life cycle.

[0036] In this invention, adult Common Mormon butterflies are raised in a nuptial flight chamber 1. The adults conduct mating flights within the chamber and lay eggs on plants with tender shoots. The first plant (5) containing the eggs is then manually transferred to an isolation net chamber 2. After the eggs hatch into larvae, the larvae feed on the tender leaves of the plants in the isolation net chamber 2. Simultaneously, older larvae are appropriately moved to prevent the plant leaves from being completely consumed. Plants severely damaged by larvae in the isolation net chamber 2 are moved to a growing area to await new leaf emergence. Furthermore, after the larvae pupate, the pupae are manually collected. A portion of the collected pupae is placed in an emergence cage 8 for the next generation's breeding, while the remaining portion is stored at low temperatures or packaged for transport and release. Once the adult butterflies in the emergence cage 8 have unfolded their wings, they are transferred back to the nuptial flight chamber 1.

[0037] Among them, the nuptial flight chamber 1 is the feeding and breeding ground for adult swallowtail butterflies, the isolation net chamber 2 is the rearing ground for swallowtail butterflies larvae, the growth chamber 3 is used to isolate lemon trees whose leaves are being eaten so that they can grow new leaves, and the pupae collected by hand complete the emergence process in the emergence cage 8 and eventually develop into adults.

[0038] In this invention, the adult area is connected to the larval rearing area, the growth area and the emergence area. The breeding of the Common Mormon butterfly is carried out in the nuptial flight room 1, the isolation net room 2 and the emergence cage 8 according to the different activities of the Common Mormon butterfly at different stages of its life cycle. Moreover, different areas are equipped with plants that meet the activities and needs of the Common Mormon butterfly at different stages of its life cycle, so as to meet the activities and needs of the Common Mormon butterfly in different areas, at different life cycles and at different stages.

[0039] This interconnected design, linking the adult breeding area with the larval rearing area, the growth area, and the emergence area, allows the Common Mormon butterfly to naturally move from one area to another at different stages of its life cycle, thus ensuring the continuity and integrity of its reproductive process. Simultaneously, this connectivity provides ample space for the butterfly to move around, facilitating the display of its natural behaviors and improving its reproductive success rate. Through this structural design, the Common Mormon butterfly breeding box provides a suitable breeding environment, meeting its needs throughout the entire process from adult egg-laying to larval hatching, growth, pupation, and emergence, thereby effectively improving the butterfly's reproductive efficiency and survival rate.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the plate is a solid plate or a perforated plate, which can be selected as needed.

[0041] As a specific embodiment of this method, the isolation cage is made of mesh panels, which has good air permeability and can prevent ants and parasitic wasps from entering and harming eggs or larvae, and also makes it easy for staff to understand the internal situation.

[0042] As a specific embodiment of this implementation, the growth chamber 3 is surrounded by solid plates and / or mesh plates, and the plates are provided with entrances and exits for personnel to enter and exit. The staff can enter the birth chamber and the nuptial flight chamber 1 through the entrances and exits, which also facilitates the transfer of plants by the staff and prevents adult insects from flying into the growth chamber 3, thus ensuring the conditions for the new leaves of the plants to emerge.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, a first plant 5 is provided in the wedding flight room 1. The first plant 5 is a potted lemon tree with tender shoots.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, a second plant 6 is provided in the larval rearing area. The second plant 6 is a second plant 6 with tender leaves and butterfly eggs.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, a third plant 7 is provided in the growth chamber 3. The third plant 7 is a plant whose leaves have been severely eaten, and is isolated until enough new leaves grow.

[0046] In detail, in the nuptial flight chamber 1, adult swallowtail butterflies can move around, mate, and lay eggs on the first plant 5.

[0047] As a specific embodiment of this method, the first plant 5 is a lemon tree. The lemon tree serves as the egg-laying site for the adult swallowtail butterfly, and its leaves and branches provide the necessary support and a suitable environment for the adults to successfully complete the egg-laying process.

[0048] In the isolation cage, the eggs of the Common Mormon butterfly hatch into larvae in this area, and the larvae feed and grow here.

[0049] A second plant 6 is provided in the larval rearing area. In a specific embodiment of this method, the second plant 6 is a lemon tree. The tender leaves of the lemon tree are the larvae's primary food source, providing them with ample and nutritious food to meet their rapid growth needs. The larvae gradually accumulate energy and complete their growth and development by consuming the tender leaves of the second lemon tree.

[0050] After the larvae pupate in the isolation cage, the pupae are collected manually. Some of the collected pupae are placed in the emergence cage 8 for the next generation of breeding, while the other part is stored at low temperature or packaged and transported for release. After the adult insects in the emergence cage 8 have spread their wings, the adult insects are transferred into the nuptial flight chamber 1.

[0051] It should be noted that after the adult insects lay their eggs in the first plant 5, the first plant 5 is artificially transferred to the isolation net cage. That is, the second plant 6 in this area is obtained by transferring the first plant 5 from the nuptial flight chamber 1. At this time, the second plant 6 is a plant with butterfly eggs on the basis of the first plant 5.

[0052] In the growth chamber 3, a third plant 7 is installed. As a specific embodiment of this method, the third plant 7 is a lemon tree.

[0053] After the butterfly eggs hatch into larvae in the isolation net cage, the second plant (6) in the cage becomes the larvae's main food source. This leads to the leaves of the second plant (6) being eaten. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately relocate older larvae to prevent the lemon leaves from being completely consumed. Lemon trees severely damaged by larvae in isolation net cage 2 are moved to the growing area to await new leaf emergence. In other words, the third plant (7) is a plant that has been eaten, building upon the second plant (6). The third plant (7) awaits new leaf emergence in the growing chamber 3, ensuring a normal supply of plants and avoiding resource waste.

[0054] After the larvae pupate in the isolation cage, the pupae are collected manually. Some of the collected pupae are placed in the emergence cage 8 for the next generation of breeding, while the other part is stored at low temperature or packaged and transported for release. After the adult insects in the emergence cage 8 have spread their wings, the adult insects are transferred into the nuptial flight chamber 1.

[0055] Artificially collected pupae complete the emergence process in emergence cage 8, eventually developing into adults. That is, the emergence area serves as the place for pupal emergence, and its internal environment is carefully designed.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, the top of the feathering cage 8 is provided with a rainproof component; the feathering cage 8 has an opening 10, and a component for sealing the opening 10 is provided at the opening 10; a mesh frame 9 is provided inside the feathering cage 8, and the mesh frame 9 is a multi-layered mesh frame 9. Furthermore, the feathering cage 8 does not contact the ground. Preferably, the feathering cage 8 is detachably connected to the wedding flight chamber 1.

[0057] As a specific embodiment of this method, the rainproof component is a transparent plastic sheet, and the component that seals the opening 10 is a zipper, which can be used to open or close the emergence cage 8. The emergence cage 8 is equipped with a multi-layered mesh frame 9 for placing the pupae to be emerged. Workers can place the pupae on different layers of plastic mesh according to the collection time, so that the emergence time of pupae on the same layer is close.

[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, the bridal chamber 1 is provided with multiple nectar sources 4, which are one or more of the following: Ixora chinensis, Bidens pilosa, Podophyllum oxypetalum, and artificial nectar sources 4.

[0059] Once the adult butterflies in emergence cage 8 have fully extended their wings, they are transferred to nuptial flight chamber 1. Nuptial flight chamber 1 is a single chamber containing lemon saplings with tender buds, ixora flowers, and artificial nectar source 4. After emerging from their larvae, the swallowtail butterflies feed on nectar or artificial nectar source 4 to supplement their nutrition. They then freely mate and lay eggs within nuptial flight chamber 1.

[0060] Among them, the nectar source 4 includes artificially introduced Ixora chinensis, with red and orange varieties chosen to attract adult swallowtail butterflies. Bidens pilosa and Podophyllum in the nuptial flight chamber 1 supplement the nectar source 4.

[0061] As a specific embodiment of this implementation, the artificial nectar source 4 includes a tray nectar source 4 and / or a simulated flower artificial nectar source 4;

[0062] When the artificial nectar source 4 is a tray nectar source 4, the tray nectar source 4 includes a tray body and degreased cotton placed in the tray body, and red, yellow or orange sheet-like parts are arranged around the circumference of the tray body.

[0063] When the artificial nectar source 4 is a simulated flower artificial nectar source 4, the simulated flower artificial nectar source 4 includes a device body 11, a bundled capillary tube 12 is provided inside the device body 11, one end of the capillary tube 12 is inserted into the device body 11, and a yellow cotton swab 14 for imitating flower anthers is provided on the other end, and red, yellow or orange sheet-like parts are provided around the device body 11.

[0064] As a specific embodiment of this utility model, the method for breeding the Common Mormon butterfly using this utility model includes the following steps:

[0065] 1. Collection of butterfly eggs

[0066] Since female Common Mormon butterflies prefer to lay their eggs on tender shoots, potted lemon trees with tender shoots were placed in the nuptial flight chamber 1 to attract the butterflies to lay their eggs. When an average of 5-10 eggs were found on each shoot, the lemon seedlings were moved to an isolation chamber and the date was recorded. Pruning, fertilizing, and regular watering of the lemon trees were used to encourage the growth of new shoots. The potted lemon trees were thoroughly watered every two days, and watered with a sprinkler system every morning and evening.

[0067] 2. Hatching of butterfly eggs and rearing of larvae

[0068] The isolation chamber is a 50-mesh net room, which has good ventilation and prevents ants and parasitic wasps from entering and harming the eggs or larvae. Regular weeding reduces the breeding of unwanted insects. After hatching, the 1st to 3rd instar larvae feed on tender leaves, while the 4th to 5th instar larvae feed on older leaves. About 10 days after the lemon seedlings are moved into isolation net room 2, the larvae are divided according to their condition and the leaves. At this time, the larvae should be in the 3rd to 4th instar (refer to the development period of eggs and larvae at 25℃ indoors). 20 old leaves are reserved for each larva until pupation. Excess larvae are transferred to other lemon seedlings with more old leaves to prevent the lemon leaves from being completely eaten. Lemon trees with severely eaten leaves are transferred to growth room 3 for isolation, and new leaves are used to feed the larvae or provide eggs for adults to lay.

[0069] 3. Collection of butterfly pupae

[0070] An emergence cage 8, preferably an 80*80*80 cm insect cage, is set up inside the nuptial flight chamber 1. A transparent plastic sheet is placed on top of the emergence cage 8 to protect it from rain. Five layers of perforated plastic mesh frames 9 are placed inside the cage, with each layer spaced 10 cm apart. The top layer is 15-20 cm away from the top of the cage and is used to hold the pupae to be emerged. The larvae pupate on the underside of the leaves, stems, or on the mesh of the isolation net chamber 2 of the lemon seedlings. The pupae are collected 8-10 days after the larvae are separated from the plant. Every 1-2 days, the collected pupae are placed on the plastic mesh frames 9, spaced 3-5 cm apart. The pupae are placed on different layers of plastic mesh according to the collection time so that the pupae on the same layer emerge at similar times.

[0071] 4. Preservation and transportation of pupae

[0072] Preservation of pupae: Place the pupae in a plastic box with a layer of absorbent cotton at the bottom. Wrap each pupae in a paper towel and place them in the box. Make several 1 mm holes in the lid and body of the box for ventilation. Store the plastic box in a refrigerator at 15℃ (simulating the overwintering temperature of pupae). Take it out when needed.

[0073] Transporting butterfly pupae: Place the pupae in a perforated plastic box, line the bottom with cotton, lay the pupae flat on the cotton, cover them with more cotton, and continue stacking pupae in this manner to reduce the impact of vibration during transportation. Use ice packs as needed to lower the temperature and delay the emergence time.

[0074] 5. Release of adult insects and pollination of island plants

[0075] Upon arrival at the destination, the pupae in the plastic box are removed and placed in the release device. After the adults emerge and spread their wings, the adult swallowtail butterflies are released. The adults freely feed on the nectar of various island plants and pollinate them. They also lay their eggs on the leaves of Rutaceae plants such as lemons and grapefruits. The larvae feed on the leaves to develop, and the next generation of adults appears about a month later.

[0076] The device for releasing adult Swallowtail butterflies involves taking out the pupae stored in a plastic box during transportation, preparing a 40*40*40cm insect cage and placing it at the release location with the opening side of the insect cage facing upwards. The pupae are then taken out and laid flat at the bottom of the insect cage. A petri dish containing 15% honey water and damp cotton can be placed for the adult butterflies to feed on. Once most of the adult butterflies have emerged, the cage opening is opened to release them.

[0077] 6. Adult insect rearing and mating

[0078] Once the adult butterflies in emergence cage 8 have fully extended their wings, they are transferred to nuptial flight chamber 1. Nuptial flight chamber 1 is a large netted chamber containing lemon seedlings with tender buds, ixora flowers, and artificial nectar source 4. After emerging from their molts, the swallowtail butterflies feed on nectar or artificial nectar source 4 to supplement their nutrition. They then freely mate and lay eggs in the large netted chamber.

[0079] The fourth nectar source includes artificially introduced Ixora chinensis, with red and orange varieties chosen to attract adult swallowtail butterflies. Other plants in the large-netted indoor area, such as Bidens pilosa and Podophyllum oxypetalum, supplement the nectar source.

[0080] Artificial nectar source 4 setup: Artificial nectar source 4 is placed in a large net room. Artificial nectar source 4 can be set up using the tray method or the artificial nectar source 4 method.

[0081] In the tray method, add an appropriate amount of 10% honey water 15 to a yellow tray, place absorbent cotton to absorb the moisture so that swallowtail butterflies can easily feed on it, and add red plastic pieces 13 to simulate flower petals to attract swallowtail butterflies. Replace the tray every 1-2 days.

[0082] In the artificial nectar source method 4, several plastic tubes (capillaries 12) about 4 cm long are tied together with several yellow cotton swabs 14, with the ends of the cotton swabs 14 exposed to imitate anthers. The bundle is then placed into a cylindrical plastic cup of appropriate size, and five red plastic pieces 13 are attached around the mouth of the plastic cup to imitate red petals. An appropriate amount of 10% honey water 15 is poured into the plastic cup to cover the bottom of the capillaries 12, and the cup is placed 1 m above the ground. Swallowtail butterflies are attracted to the cup and obtain nutrients by sucking the honey water 15 from the capillaries 12.

[0083] The use of the breeding box for the Common Swallowtail butterfly of this invention has the following positive advantages:

[0084] 1. Through artificial breeding and release into the wild, the population of the Common Mormon butterfly can be effectively restored, thus protecting biodiversity;

[0085] 2. Utilize the Common Mormon butterfly to pollinate island plants, promote plant population reproduction, and restore the balance of the island's ecosystem.

[0086] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
