Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insect research, and in particular to a butterfly insect trap. Background Technology

[0002] Collecting insect specimens in the wild is an important part of insect biology research. The commonly used tool for catching butterflies is the insect net. However, an insect net can only catch one butterfly at a time, and the process of catching one butterfly can disturb other butterflies, affecting subsequent catches. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a butterfly insect trap that can trap multiple butterflies at once.

[0004] The butterfly insect trap provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A butterfly insect trap includes a fixed rod, a cardboard tube, a top seat, a trapping net, magnets A and B, and a pull rope. The cardboard tube is fixedly mounted on the fixed rod and coated with an attractant liquid. The top seat is located at the upper end of the fixed rod. Magnets A and B are annular, arranged vertically and attracting each other. Magnet A is fixedly mounted on the outer circumference of the top seat. The trapping net is a hollow cylinder, with its upper and lower ends fixedly mounted on the outer circumferences of magnets A and B, respectively. A pull rope is attached to the trapping net.

[0006] With the above technical solution, when using the device, the user first attaches magnet B to magnet A, exposing the cardboard tube inside. Magnets B and A, which are attached together, can be easily pulled apart by the user. Then, the user applies a trapping liquid to the cardboard tube. When multiple butterflies are attracted and land on the cardboard tube, the user pulls magnets B and A apart, dropping the trapping net to capture multiple butterflies at once.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a drawstring net with a drawstring, the upper end of which is fixed to magnet B.

[0008] With the above technical solution, after the capture net is fully extended downwards, the user can pull the reel rope to tighten the end of the capture net away from magnet B to prevent butterflies and insects from escaping from the capture net.

[0009] Preferably, the cardboard tube includes an inner tube and an outer tube, with the outer tube fitted onto the inner tube; the outer surface of the inner tube is coated with the trapping liquid; and several through holes are provided on the side wall of the outer tube.

[0010] Preferably, a gap is left between the inner side of the outer cylinder and the outer side of the inner cylinder.

[0011] With the above technical solution, insects can ingest the bait liquid through the through-hole. When the bait liquid is insufficient, the outer tube can be removed and the inner tube surface can be re-coated.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a pre-processing component, which includes a storage board and multiple pins. The storage board is fixed to a fixing rod, and a storage rack is provided on the outer side of the storage board. The multiple pins are placed on the storage board through the storage rack.

[0013] The above technical solution addresses the need to kill butterfly insects as quickly as possible during capture to prevent them from breaking their wings or limbs while struggling, thus affecting the quality of the specimen. Therefore, a location for storing pins is provided on the fixing rod for easy access by the user.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom end of the fixing rod is provided with a pointed tip.

[0015] The pointed design, achieved through the above technical solution, makes it easier for users to insert the fixing rod into the soil.

[0016] The main technical effects of this utility model are reflected in the following aspects:

[0017] 1. This utility model uses a combination of a fixed rod, a cardboard tube, a top base, a capture net, a pair of magnets, and a pull rope to attract multiple butterfly insects to land and then capture them all at once.

[0018] 2. By setting up a closing component, the user can close the capture net to prevent butterflies and insects from escaping. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail to make the technical solution of this utility model easier to understand and master.

[0024] This application discloses a butterfly insect trap:

[0025] Reference Figure 1-2 A butterfly insect trap includes a fixed rod 1, a cardboard tube 2, a top seat 3, a trapping net 4, magnets A5 and B6, and a pull rope 8. The cardboard tube 2 is fitted and fixed to the fixed rod 1, and is coated with an attractant liquid. The top seat 3 is fixed to the upper end of the fixed rod 1. Magnets A5 and B6 are both annular, arranged vertically and attracting each other. Magnet A5 is fitted onto the outer circumference of the top seat 3. The trapping net 4 is a hollow cylinder, with its upper and lower ends fixed onto the outer circumferences of magnets A5 and B6, respectively. A pull rope 8 is attached to the trapping net 4.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The cardboard tube 2 includes an inner tube 21 and an outer tube 22. The inner tube 21 is used to mount on the fixing rod 1. The outer tube 22 is fitted onto the inner tube 21. The outer surface of the inner tube 21 is coated with a trapping liquid. Several through holes 221 are formed on the side wall of the outer tube 22. A gap is left between the inner side of the outer tube 22 and the outer side of the inner tube 21.

[0027] When using the device, the user first attaches magnet B6 to magnet A5, exposing the cardboard tube 2 inside. Magnets B6 and A5, which are attached together, can be easily separated by the user using the pull rope 8. When multiple butterflies and insects are attracted and land on the cardboard tube 2, the user pulls magnets B6 and A5 apart, dropping the trapping net 4 to capture multiple butterflies and insects at once.

[0028] Reference Figure 2-3 It also includes a girdle net with a drawstring (93), the upper end of which is fixed to a magnet B (6). After the capture net 4 is fully extended downwards, the user pulls the drawstring 93 to tighten the lower end of the girdle net 91 to prevent butterflies and insects from escaping from the capture net 4.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The system also includes a pre-processing component 20, which comprises a storage plate 201 and multiple pins 204. The storage plate 201 is fixed to the fixing rod 1, and a storage rack 202 is fixed to the outer side of the storage plate 201. The multiple pins 204 are placed on the storage plate 201 through the storage rack 202. Since butterfly insect specimens need to be killed as soon as possible during capture to prevent them from breaking their wings or limbs while struggling, thus affecting the quality of the specimen, a position for storing the pins 204 is designed on the fixing rod 1 for easy access by the user.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-2 The bottom end of the fixing rod 1 is provided with a pointed tip 11. The design of the pointed tip 11 makes it easy for the user to insert the fixing rod 1 into the soil.

[0031] Of course, the above are just typical examples of this utility model. In addition, this utility model may have many other specific implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
