[0002] Lepidoptera larvae, namely the larvae of moths and butterflies, such as caterpillars, leafrollers, and fruit borers. Traditional rearing boxes contain larvae, feed, and feces inside. Cleaning feces requires opening the entire box, which easily disturbs the larvae and contaminates the feed. Furthermore, the mixture of feed and feces breeds mold, resulting in a high larval mortality rate. These practices have drawbacks. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model: an indoor tiered rearing box for lepidopteran larvae, comprising:

[0005] The cylindrical body has several first through holes on it;

[0006] The container consists of two boxes and two lids. Each box has an opening at one end and a second through hole of a different size. The boxes are detachably connected to the cylindrical body, and the lids are detachably connected to the boxes.

[0007] A fixing device is used to fix the two boxes and the two box covers to the cylinder respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing device includes at least four connecting plates and several buckles, one end of each connecting plate is disposed on the box cover, and the buckles are disposed on the connecting plates and cooperate with the second through hole.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting plate is provided with a handle.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the cylinder is provided with a plurality of protrusions.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes several insertion rods, which are respectively disposed on the box body and the box cover, and the cylinder body and the box body are provided with insertion holes adapted to the insertion rods.

[0012] Preferably, the cylindrical body is an acrylic cylindrical body.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: in this invention, the separation of feed and feces reduces mold contamination, improves the survival rate of larvae, and facilitates larval climbing. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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.

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 4 A tiered indoor rearing box for lepidopteran larvae, comprising:

[0021] The cylindrical body 10 has several first through holes 101 on it;

[0022] There are two boxes 2 and two lids 3. One end of each box 2 is open and each box 2 has a second through hole 201 of different sizes. The box 2 is detachably connected to the cylinder 10 and the lid 3 is detachably connected to the box 2.

[0023] A fixing device is used to fix the two boxes 2 and the two boxes 3 onto the cylindrical body 10 respectively. In this utility model, a box 2 is provided at the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical body 10. The upper box 2 stores feed, and filter paper is placed in the lower box 2. Larvae climb up the inner wall of the cylindrical body 10 to the bottom of the upper box 2 to eat the feed that leaks out from the second through hole 201 in the upper box 2. The feces produced by the larvae fall onto the filter paper through the second through hole 201 on the lower box 2, thereby isolating the feed, feces and larvae. When feed needs to be replenished, the upper box 3 can be opened. When feces need to be cleaned, the lower box 3 can be opened to replace the filter paper. Specifically, the first through hole 101 connects the inside of the cylindrical body 10 with the outside; the diameter of the first through hole 101 is 0.1-0.3mm; the diameter of the second through hole 201 of the upper box 2 is 0.5-1cm, and the diameter of the second through hole 201 of the lower box 2 is 1-2cm.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features:

[0025] In this embodiment, the fixing device includes at least four connecting plates 4 and several buckles 5. One end of each connecting plate 4 is disposed on the lid 3, and each buckle 5 is disposed on the connecting plate 4 and engages with the second through hole 201. The connecting plates 4 are elastic. When it is necessary to open one of the lids 3, two of the connecting plates 4 are pried open to disengage the buckles 5 from the second through hole 201. When it is necessary to close the lid 3, the buckles 5 engage with the second through hole 201. Specifically, the connecting plate 4 is a rubber plate, one end of which is fixed to the lid 3 by bolts; the buckle 5 is made of elastic plastic, one end is a straight rod, and the other end is spherical, which is interference-fitted with the second through hole 201.

[0026] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 4 is provided with a handle 401 to facilitate prying up the connecting plate 4.

[0027] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the cylinder 10 is provided with several protrusions to facilitate larvae climbing.

[0028] In this embodiment, a plurality of insert rods 6 are also included, which are respectively disposed on the box body 2 and the box cover 3. The cylindrical body 10 and the box body 2 are provided with insertion holes adapted to the insert rods 6 to prevent misalignment between the box body 2 and the box cover 3 and between the box body 2 and the cylindrical body 10.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cylinder 10 is an acrylic cylinder, which facilitates observation of the larvae inside the cylinder 10.
