The Scarabaeidae mating behavior observation box is an experimental device specifically designed for observing and studying the mating behavior of insects in the Scarabaeidae superfamily. By simulating key conditions in their natural habitat, it provides suitable mating scenarios for individuals in the Scarabaeidae superfamily. At the same time, it allows researchers to record behavioral details during the mating process through visualization, making it an important tool in insect behavioral and reproductive biology research.

[0003] In existing technologies, the temperature and humidity environment inside the observation box lacks effective dynamic control capabilities during long-term observation and recording. It is difficult to make real-time and precise dynamic adjustments according to the temperature and humidity requirements of different stages during the mating process of scarab beetles. This makes it difficult for researchers to detect fluctuations in real time and intervene, ultimately making it difficult to maintain a stable temperature and humidity environment that conforms to the natural mating requirements of scarab beetles. This may not only inhibit mating behavior but also cause deviations in the observation data due to uncontrolled environmental variables, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the experimental results.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] Implementable methods already discovered in this field:

[0026] The superfamily Scarabaeidae, a vast and important group within the order Coleoptera of the class Insecta, occupies a crucial position in the fields of ecosystem and entomological research. It boasts a remarkable diversity, with a considerable number of known species, and is widely distributed globally, from tropical rainforests to temperate grasslands, and from low-altitude regions to high-altitude mountains. This broad distribution is attributed to their remarkable adaptability to diverse environments; regardless of soil texture, climate conditions, or vegetation type, Scarabaeidae insects can always find a suitable habitat.

[0027] The scarab beetles, rhinoceros beetles, dung beetles, and gill beetles we are familiar with all belong to the superfamily Scarabaeidae. Scarab beetles are diverse in form and color, with some species possessing metallic shells that shimmer captivatingly in the sunlight. They not only have ornamental value but also play an important role in the ecosystem, such as decomposing plant debris. Rhinoceros beetles are famous for the large horn-like protrusions on the heads of their males. This unique morphological structure not only plays an important role in courtship competition but has also become a popular subject of collection and study for insect enthusiasts. Dung beetles feed on animal feces and act as "scavengers" in the ecosystem, effectively cleaning up feces in the environment and promoting material cycling and energy flow. The larvae of gill beetles mostly live in the soil and feed on plant roots, which may have some impact on crop growth, but they are also important models for studying soil ecology and the relationship between insects and plants.

[0028] The mating behavior of scarab beetles is an important subject of study in insect ethology and reproductive biology. Mating behavior not only directly relates to the reproduction and continuation of species, but also involves complex sexual selection mechanisms, courtship strategies, mate recognition, and many other aspects. By studying the mating behavior of scarab beetles, we can gain a deeper understanding of how insect reproductive strategies adapt to different environmental conditions, and the roles these strategies play in species evolution and ecological adaptation.

[0029] For example, during courtship, male scarab beetles may attract females by displaying specific physical characteristics, emitting unique vocal signals, or releasing pheromones. The mechanisms by which these courtship signals are transmitted and recognized reflect the sophisticated communication methods that insects have developed during evolution. Meanwhile, female insects also exhibit certain preferences when choosing mates, which may be based on factors such as the male's physical condition, genetic quality, or resource-grabbing ability. Studying these sexual selection mechanisms helps us understand the formation and maintenance of species diversity, as well as the genetic structure and dynamic changes of insect populations.

[0030] Furthermore, the mating behavior of scarab beetles is closely related to ecosystem stability and biodiversity. The mating behavior of some scarab beetles may be influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light. Understanding the mechanisms by which these environmental factors affect mating behavior can help us predict the impacts of environmental changes, such as climate change, on insect populations and ecosystems, providing a scientific basis for ecological conservation and biodiversity management.

[0031] In the past, researchers mainly relied on field observations and simple laboratory rearing observations to study the mating behavior of scarab beetles. While field observations can obtain real behavioral data of insects in their natural environment, they are greatly limited by environmental conditions. For example, weather changes, complex terrain, and the wide range of insect activity can all make observation difficult, affecting the accuracy and completeness of the data. Moreover, field observations often make it difficult to precisely control and intervene in insect mating behavior, hindering in-depth studies of the impact of specific factors on mating behavior.

[0032] While simple laboratory rearing and observation can control environmental conditions to some extent, the rearing environment differs significantly from the insect's natural habitat. This difference may lead to alterations in insect behavior, failing to accurately reflect their mating behavior in the natural environment. For example, the limited space in a laboratory restricts the insects' range of movement, potentially affecting their courtship and mating behaviors. Furthermore, conditions such as food, light, and temperature in the laboratory rearing environment may not fully simulate the complex variations in the natural environment, thus impacting the reliability and generalizability of the research results.

[0033] To overcome the limitations of traditional research methods and improve the accuracy and reliability of studies on the mating behavior of scarab beetles, a mating behavior observation box for scarab beetles has been developed. This observation box is an experimental device specifically designed for observing and studying the mating behavior of scarab beetles. It integrates knowledge and technologies from ecology, behavior, and engineering, aiming to provide scarab beetles with an experimental space that closely resembles their natural habitat, while also facilitating observation and recording by researchers.

[0034] The Scarabaeidae mating behavior observation box provides a suitable mating environment for insects by simulating key conditions in their natural habitat. Regarding the soil environment, the observation box is filled with soil similar to the insects' natural habitat, with parameters such as soil texture, pH, and humidity precisely controlled. For example, for some scarab beetles that prefer loose soil, the observation box uses loose humus soil and maintains appropriate humidity to simulate their natural living environment.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-8This utility model provides an embodiment of a mating behavior observation box for the Common Beetle, including a glass observation box body 1, a mounting cover 4 disposed on the top of the glass observation box body 1, a controller 5 fixedly connected to one side of the mounting cover 4, a handle 6 rotatably connected inside the mounting cover 4, a drive assembly disposed on the mounting cover 4, a camera assembly disposed on the glass observation box body 1, a mounting assembly disposed on the mounting cover 4, an adjustable lighting lamp 21 fixedly connected inside the mounting cover 4, a humidity sensor 22 fixedly connected inside the mounting cover 4, a temperature sensor 23 fixedly connected inside the mounting cover 4, and a universal adapter 24 fixedly connected to one side of the mounting cover 4. The following components are included: an outer connecting pipe 25 housed inside the universal adapter 24; a spray rigid pipe 26 housed inside the universal adapter 24; an atomizing nozzle 27 fixedly connected to the spray rigid pipe 26; a rotating rod 211 rotatably connected inside the mounting top cover 4; a blower fan 212 fixedly connected to the inside of the rotating rod 211; a heating tube fixing frame 213 fixedly connected to the bottom of the blower fan 212; a heating tube body 214 fixedly connected inside the heating tube fixing frame 213; an adjustable lighting lamp 21 electrically connected to the controller 5; a humidity sensor 22 electrically connected to the controller 5; a temperature sensor 23 electrically connected to the controller 5; a blower fan 212 electrically connected to the controller 5; and the heating tube body. The body 214 is electrically connected to the controller 5. The spray tube 26 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting cover 4. The drive assembly drives the spray tube 26 and the atomizing nozzle 27 to reciprocate. The drive assembly also drives the blower fan 212 and the heating tube body 214 to reciprocate. The humidity sensor 22 and temperature sensor 23 sense the temperature and humidity inside the glass observation box 1 in real time and feed them back to the controller 5, enabling precise monitoring of the environment inside the box. The controller 5 can flexibly adjust the light, temperature and humidity inside the box according to the monitoring data and experimental requirements to meet the environmental needs of different stages of mating of scarab beetles. The drive assembly drives the spray tube 26 and the atomizing nozzle 27 to reciprocate. The oscillation, along with the reciprocating oscillation of the blower fan 212 and the heating tube body 214, significantly improves the uniformity of humidification and heating, preventing localized temperature and humidity imbalances within the chamber. This forms an automated dynamic control system, reducing manual intervention and ensuring a stable environment within the chamber during long-term observation. This makes it easier to observe the natural mating behavior of scarab beetles, improving the accuracy and reliability of experimental data. The mounting components, through the cooperation of the insert plate 31 and the mounting top cover 4, and the arc-shaped locking block 33 engaging with the insert plate 31 under the action of the spring 35, enable quick assembly and disassembly of the mounting top cover 4 and the glass observation chamber body 1. When it is necessary to open the observation chamber for internal cleaning, substrate replacement, or to place / remove insects, simply pull the light rod 34 using the lever 36, causing the arc-shaped locking block 33 to compress the spring 35 and disengage from the insert plate 31, allowing for convenient removal of the mounting top cover 4. The operation is simple and effortless.When closed, the arc-shaped locking block 33 automatically engages with the insert plate 31 under the elastic force of the spring 35, ensuring a stable connection. This improves operational efficiency and effectively prevents the top cover 4 from accidentally falling off during observation, ensuring a stable environment inside the box.

[0037] Please see Figure 4 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: two sets of drive components are provided, which are sequentially distributed at the spray hard pipe 26 and the rotating rod 211. By setting two independent drive components corresponding to the spray hard pipe 26 and the rotating rod 211 respectively, the humidification component (spray hard pipe 26, atomizing nozzle 27) and the heating component (blowing fan 212, heating tube body 214) can be driven and controlled separately. The two sets of drive components can adjust the swing amplitude and frequency according to the actual temperature and humidity control requirements, making the humidification and heating process more flexible and precise, thereby better adapting to the environmental requirements of different mating stages of scarab beetles.

[0038] Please see Figure 4 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: The drive assembly includes a circular gear 28 fixedly connected to the spray pipe 26, a toothed plate 29 slidably connected inside the mounting cover 4, and a hydraulic telescopic rod 210 fixedly connected to the side of the mounting cover 4 away from the universal joint 24. The circular gear 28 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 211 and meshes with the outside of the toothed plate 29. The toothed plate 29 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 210. The hydraulic telescopic rod 210 drives the toothed plate 29 to move, and the toothed plate 29 drives the spray pipe 26 and the rotating rod 211 to rotate. The hydraulic telescopic rod 210 is electrically connected to the controller 5. By smoothly converting the linear motion of the hydraulic telescopic rod 210 into the rotational motion of the spray pipe 26 and the rotating rod 211, reciprocating oscillation is achieved. After the hydraulic telescopic rod 210 is electrically connected to the controller 5, the telescopic speed and stroke can be precisely controlled by the controller 5, thereby accurately adjusting the oscillation angle and frequency of the components to ensure the uniformity and accuracy of temperature and humidity control.

[0039] Please see Figure 4 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: the mounting top cover 4 has a matching groove at the corresponding position of the toothed plate 29. The toothed plate 29 slides inside the groove of the mounting top cover 4. By opening a groove in the mounting top cover 4 that matches the toothed plate 29, a stable guide track is provided for the sliding of the toothed plate 29, effectively limiting the movement direction of the toothed plate 29 and preventing the toothed plate 29 from deviating or shaking during movement. This ensures that the toothed plate 29 and the circular gear 28 always maintain a stable meshing state, ensuring the continuity and accuracy of the drive component transmission, thereby making the swing of the spray pipe 26 and the rotating rod 211 more stable and orderly, and improving the working stability of the temperature and humidity control component.

[0040] Please see Figure 7 A further embodiment of this solution is as follows: The shooting component includes a support frame 215 fixedly connected to the glass observation box body 1, a fixed frame 216 fixedly connected to the support frame 215, a first motor 217 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 216, a first bracket 218 rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 216, a second motor 219 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 216, a second bracket 220 rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 216, a fixed frame 221 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 216, an adjusting ball 222 slidably connected to the fixed frame 221, a sliding frame 223 slidably connected inside the adjusting ball 222, and a camera body 224 fixedly connected to the end of the sliding frame 223 away from the fixed frame 221. The first bracket 218 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 217, the second bracket 220 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 219, and the sliding frame 223 is disposed on the first bracket 218. Inside the second bracket 220, the first motor 217 drives the camera body 224 to adjust its horizontal angle, and the second motor 219 drives the camera body 224 to adjust its tilt angle. The first motor 217 and the second motor 219 drive the first bracket 218 and the second bracket 220 to move respectively. With the linkage of the adjusting ball 222 and the sliding frame 223, the camera body 224 can be adjusted at multiple angles in the horizontal and tilt directions, which greatly expands the shooting range and ensures that every detail of the mating of scarab beetles inside the glass observation box 1 can be captured. The support frame 215 and the fixed frame 216 provide stable support for the entire shooting assembly, reduce shaking during the shooting process, and ensure clear images. The sliding connection between the adjusting ball 222 and the sliding frame 223 enhances the flexibility of angle adjustment, allowing the camera to accurately aim at the target area and provide high-quality image data for the recording and analysis of mating behavior.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 8A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: the installation components include an insert plate 31 fixedly connected to the top of the glass observation box body 1, a square frame 32 fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting top cover 4, an arc-shaped locking block 33 slidably connected inside the square frame 32, a light rod 34 fixedly connected to the outside of the arc-shaped locking block 33, a spring 35 fixedly connected between the arc-shaped locking block 33 and the square frame 32, and a lever 36 fixedly connected to the light rod 34. The insert plate 31 is located inside the mounting top cover 4, the arc-shaped locking block 33 penetrates the mounting top cover 4 and is engaged inside the insert plate 31, and the light rod 34 is slidably connected inside the square frame 32. Through the cooperation between the insert plate 31 and the mounting top cover 4, and the engagement of the arc-shaped locking block 33 with the insert plate 31 under the action of the spring 35, the mounting top cover 4 and the glass observation box body 1 can be quickly disassembled and assembled; when it is necessary to open the observation box for internal cleaning, substrate replacement, or insertion / removal, the light rod 34 can be quickly disassembled and assembled. When removing the insect, simply pull the light rod 34 with the lever 36 to cause the arc-shaped locking block 33 to compress the spring 35 and disengage from the insert plate 31, and the top cover 4 can be easily removed. The operation is simple and effortless. When closing, the arc-shaped locking block 33 will automatically lock into the insert plate 31 under the elastic force of the spring 35, ensuring the stability of the connection. This not only improves the efficiency of operation, but also effectively prevents the top cover 4 from accidentally falling off during the observation process, ensuring a stable environment inside the box.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: the mounting top cover 4 has a matching slot at the corresponding position of the insert plate 31, and the insert plate 31 is set inside the slot of the mounting top cover 4. By opening a slot that matches the insert plate 31 in the mounting top cover 4, the insert plate 31 can be accurately inserted into the mounting top cover 4, thereby achieving positioning and docking between the mounting top cover 4 and the glass observation box body 1, avoiding positional deviation during installation, and helping to maintain the stability of the environment inside the box.

[0043] Please see Figure 8 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: the insert plate 31 has a matching slot at the corresponding position of the arc-shaped locking block 33, and the arc-shaped locking block 33 is engaged in the slot of the insert plate 31. By opening a slot on the insert plate 31 that matches the arc-shaped locking block 33, the arc-shaped locking block 33 can be accurately embedded in the slot, effectively preventing the top cover 4 from separating from the glass observation box body 1 due to vibration or collision during use, and further improving the convenience of operation.

[0044] Working principle: First, the glass observation box body 1 and the mounting top cover 4 are securely connected through the installation components. Specifically, the insert plate 31 on the top of the glass observation box body 1 is inserted into the slot of the mounting top cover 4. At this time, the arc-shaped locking block 33 automatically locks into the slot of the insert plate 31 under the elastic force of the spring 35, thus completing the fixation. If disassembly is required, the arc-shaped locking block 33 can be disengaged from the slot by pulling the light rod 34 through the lever 36. The operation is convenient. During the observation process, the humidity sensor 22 and the temperature sensor 23 monitor the temperature and humidity inside the box in real time and feed the data back to the controller 5. The controller 5 activates the adjustable lighting lamp 21 to provide suitable illumination according to preset requirements or real-time data. At the same time, the temperature and humidity are adjusted through the drive components. Under the control of the controller 5, the hydraulic telescopic rod 210 drives the toothed plate 29 to slide along the slide groove of the mounting top cover 4. The toothed plate 29 meshes with the circular gear 28, thereby driving the spray pipe 26 and the rotating rod 21. 1. Rotation causes the atomizing nozzle 27, the blower fan 212, and the heating tube body 214 to reciprocate. The atomizing nozzle 27 introduces external water through the connecting pipe 25 connected to the universal adapter 24 to evenly humidify the inside of the chamber. The heating tube body 214 generates heat, which, together with the blower fan 212, evenly distributes the heat inside the chamber to regulate the temperature. At the same time, the imaging components start working. The first motor 217 and the second motor 219 drive the first bracket 218 and the second bracket 220 to move, respectively. This causes the sliding frame 223 and the camera body 224 to flexibly adjust their horizontal and tilt angles with the help of the adjusting ball 222 and the fixed frame 221. This allows for comprehensive capture of the mating behavior details of scarab beetles. The entire process is automatically and dynamically controlled by the controller 5, reducing human intervention and ensuring a stable environment inside the chamber, providing reliable conditions for observing the mating behavior of scarab beetles.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
