TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to entomology research experimental equipment technical field, especially a kind of insect collecting tube. BACKGROUND
[0002] Insects are the most numerous group in the animal kingdom, and there are currently more than 1 million known species, accounting for more than 2 / 3 of the total number of animal species. Insects are almost everywhere on earth, and each ecosystem has traces of insects, especially in terrestrial ecosystems, insects play an important role and are a key component of many food chains and food webs.
[0003] The scope of entomology research covers the morphology, physiology, ecological habits and classification system of insects. In the related research of each field of entomology, a large number of live insect samples are needed, so optimizing the insect sampling approach is of great significance to entomology research.
[0004] As experimental samples, insects have strict requirements on their species, quantity, size and quality to ensure the accuracy of scientific research. Since most insects have relatively fragile bodies, improper collection and preservation methods can cause damage and death to the insects, which can affect the accuracy of the experiment.
[0005] Currently, the tool used in most insect collection processes is an insect collecting tube. The existing insect collecting tube usually adopts a structure with a screw cap or a rubber plug to block the tube opening and is completely sealed. However, this structure cannot meet the actual insect collection situation. Specifically, when collecting insects in the wild, ethyl acetate, which is relatively safe for the human body, is often used as an insect anesthetic. Ethyl acetate, as an organic solvent with fat solubility, anesthetizes insects by interfering with the normal function of nerve cell membranes and affecting the conduction of nerve signals. However, due to the volatility of ethyl acetate and the physiological needs of insects, it is necessary to provide a well-ventilated environment for the insects in the insect collecting tube during the anesthetization process. The existing method is to loosen the tube cover of the insect collecting tube after each insect is anesthetized, which is cumbersome and cannot meet the complex field work conditions. Moreover, the existing insect collecting tube is usually made of plastic and has a smooth overall tube body. Multiple insect collecting tubes often collide with each other and are easily lost during transportation. Even under complex transportation conditions in the wild, the insect collecting tube may be damaged during transportation. SUMMARY
