Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wasp behavior observation technology, specifically relating to a laboratory wasp attack behavior observation box. Background Technology

[0002] Wasps are economically valuable insects with broad application prospects. In recent years, research in the field of wasp behavior has greatly expanded human understanding of animal behavior, physiological basis, and mechanisms, promoting the development of ethology. Among these studies, the aggressive behavior of wasps has received widespread attention, leading to the development of wasp aggressive behavior observation boxes. However, current wasp aggressive behavior observation boxes are easily affected by external light when observing wasp activity. This is because wasps are phototactic; light entering the observation box easily causes changes in their behavior. Previous wasp behavior observations generally used structures similar to bee observation boxes. When observing wasps, external light disrupts their normal behavior, inevitably causing agitation and affecting the accuracy of the observation results. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the problem in the prior art where external light disturbs the normal behavior of wasps during observation, inevitably causing agitation and affecting the accuracy of the observation results, this utility model provides a laboratory wasp attack behavior observation box. For the behavioral observation of wasps, a ventilation window ensures good air permeability, preventing wasps from dying due to poor air circulation. A baffle door allows for the entry and exit of both experimental and invasive wasps. Experimental wasps, treated with drugs, enter a buffer compartment through one end of the baffle door. Invasive wasps are not treated. To avoid the release of drug vapors during buffering... The experiment investigated the effects of factors such as taste on invasive wasps. Invasive wasps could simultaneously enter the buffer compartment through the other end of the baffle door. The buffer compartment helped alleviate the stress response of wasps when entering an unfamiliar environment. When the attack behavior measurement began, the partition could be freely removed. The one-way transparent coated glass on the top ensured that the situation inside the box could be clearly seen from the outside, while the situation outside the box could not be seen from the inside. In addition, the light inside the box was relatively dim, which would not interfere with the wasps. The experimenters could directly observe the wasp's attack behavior. At the same time, it was helpful to use cameras and other equipment to record videos for subsequent measurement of the wasp attack behavior index. The operation was simple, convenient, and had a high safety factor.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: A laboratory hornet attack behavior observation box mainly includes a box body 1, partitions 2, baffle doors 3, and one-way transparent coated glass 4. The box body 1 is a square box with an open top. Ventilation windows 11 are provided on both sides of the box body 1, and anti-escape nets are installed on the ventilation windows 11. Door holes 12 are provided at the bottom of both ends of the box body 1. The baffle doors 3 are hinged to the box body 1 by torsion springs. The baffle doors 3 are embedded in the door holes 12 under the action of the torsion springs. A limiting groove 13 is provided inside the box body 1. Two partitions 2 are respectively inserted vertically into the limiting grooves 13. The box body 1 is divided by the partitions 2 to form buffer compartments 14 at both ends and an attack compartment 15 in the middle. One-way transparent coated glass 4 is installed on the top of the box body 1. The one-way transparent coated glass 4 has through holes for easy operation of the partitions 2.

[0005] The bottom of the box body 1 is a detachable base plate 16, and sliding grooves 17 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the box body 1, and the base plate 16 can be slidably inserted into the sliding grooves 17.

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.

[0016] This utility model discloses a laboratory hornet attack behavior observation box. The hornet attack behavior observation box mainly includes a box body 1, partitions 2, baffle doors 3, and one-way transparent coated glass 4. The box body 1 is a square box with an open top. Ventilation windows 11 are provided on both sides of the box body 1, and escape-proof nets are installed on the ventilation windows 11. Door holes 12 are provided at the bottom of both ends of the box body 1. The baffle doors 3 are hinged to the box body 1 by torsion springs and are embedded in the door holes 12 under the action of the torsion springs. A limiting groove 13 is provided inside the box body 1, and two partitions 2 are respectively inserted vertically into the limiting groove 13. The box body 1 is divided by the partitions 2 to form buffer compartments 14 at both ends and an attack compartment 15 in the middle. The one-way transparent coated glass 4 is installed on the top of the box body 1, and the one-way transparent coated glass 4 has through holes for easy operation of the partitions 2. The baffle doors and ventilation windows ensure that the observation box has good visibility. Good air permeability prevents wasps from dying due to poor air circulation, facilitating the introduction of both experimental and invasive wasps. Experimental wasps that have undergone experimental treatment, such as drug therapy, enter the buffer compartment through one end of the baffle door, while invasive wasps are left untreated. To avoid the influence of experimental factors such as drug odors on invasive wasps during buffering, they can simultaneously enter the buffer compartment through the other end of the baffle door. The buffer compartment helps alleviate the stress response of wasps entering an unfamiliar environment. When it is time to start measuring aggression behavior, the partition can be freely removed. The one-way transparent coated glass on the top ensures that the situation inside the box can be clearly seen from the outside, while the situation outside cannot be seen from the inside. In addition, the dim lighting inside the box will not interfere with the wasps. Experimenters can directly observe the wasp's aggression behavior, and it also helps to record video with cameras and other equipment for subsequent measurement of wasp aggression behavior index. The operation is simple, convenient, and has a high safety factor.

[0017] The bottom of the box 1 is a detachable base plate 16. Slide grooves 17 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the box 1, and the base plate 16 can be slidably inserted into the slide grooves 17. The base plate 16 can be freely pulled out, making it convenient for the experimenter to take out the wasp for subsequent experiments.

[0018] The bottom of the box 1 is equipped with a background paper for easy photography, which can be replaced according to experimental needs by means of pasting or other methods.

[0019] The box body 1 is provided with handles 18 at both ends for easy handling.

[0020] The top of the partition 2 is provided with a handle 21 for easy operation.

[0021] The baffle door 3 is equipped with a handle 31 for easy operation.

[0022] Work process:

[0023] With partition 2 inserted, experimental bees and invasive bees (experimental bees: experimental bees that have undergone experimental treatment such as drug therapy, invasive bees are not treated; to avoid the influence of experimental factors such as drug odor on invasive bees during buffering, invasive bees can simultaneously enter the buffer compartment from the other end through the baffle door) are placed into the buffer compartments 14 at both ends respectively. Baffle door 3 is kept closed under the action of torsion spring to prevent wasps from escaping. The ventilation window can ensure that the observation box has good air permeability to prevent wasps from dying due to poor air circulation. The buffer compartment helps to alleviate the stress response of wasps when entering an unfamiliar environment. When it is necessary to start the attack behavior measurement, the partition is pulled out, and experimental bees and invasive bees engage in attack behavior in the attack compartment. The one-way transparent coated glass at the top can ensure that the situation inside the box can be clearly seen from the outside, while the situation outside the box cannot be seen from the inside. In addition, the light inside the box is relatively dim, which will not interfere with the wasps. The experimenter can directly observe the attack behavior of the wasps. After the attack behavior measurement is completed, the bottom plate 16 is pulled out to remove the wasps and clean them for subsequent experiments.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
