Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an insect trap having a collecting section provided below a trumpet-shaped tray and a straight insect catching rod inserted into a protrusion in the center of the bottom surface of the collecting section. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, plastic bottles or the like have been cut up, attractants have been placed inside, and the bottles have been hung from grape vines or pear trees (see Patent Document 1). There is also a small insect trap that uses the suction power of a vacuum cleaner (see Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2003-199470 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2013-78310 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] This caused the following problems: This method of trapping involves waiting for the insects to enter the trap on their own, and only a small number of insects are caught using this method. In addition, it was difficult to get the suction nozzle close to areas where the branches and leaves were crowded with fruit. Thus, there has been no efficient trap for gold beetles that eat fruits and leaves of grapes, pears, peaches, etc. The present invention has observed the ecology of gold beetles and found the following characteristics. (i) If you shake off a gold bug with a stick, it will pretend to be dead and fall to the ground. (b) When it enters the water it remains afloat and cannot take off. (c) It is impossible to climb the smooth plastic wall from the water surface. The present invention has been made to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] A collecting section is provided at the bottom of the trumpet-shaped tray, a fixing section with an insertion port is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the collecting section, and an insect catching rod is attached to the fixing section. The insect trap has the above features. Effect of the Invention

[0006] (i) By attaching a long, straight insect-catching rod to the plant, the tip of the rod can reach all the way to the top, passing through gaps between the crowded branches and leaves of grapevine or pear trellises. (b) When the collecting part is grasped and shaken slightly, the resilient tip of the insect catching rod is amplified and swings widely, hitting the gold beetles or leaves and shaking them off. (c) The insertion port of the fixing part is hollow, so that it can be replaced with insect catching rods of different lengths and materials depending on the application. (ii) The trumpet-shaped tray has a wide opening at the top, making it easy to catch falling gold bugs and send them to the collection section. (e) Because the collection area contains water, the goldbugs cannot fly out when submerged in water and cannot climb up the smooth plastic inner walls. (f) The collection section is attached with a screw, so after capturing insects, you can pull out the insect trapping rod, remove the collection section and turn it upside down to easily remove all the captured insects at once. By capturing insects at equal intervals, even insects that are hidden by leaves and cannot be seen with the naked eye can be captured reliably. This insect trap does not require advanced skills, is lightweight, puts less strain on the arms, and is easy to use even for beginners. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. (a) The collecting section side screw-in fixing portion (6) of the collecting section (2) is screwed into the lower screw-in fixing portion (5) of the trumpet-shaped receiving tray (1) and fixed. (b) A fixing part (4) equipped with an insertion port (7) is provided in the center of the bottom surface of the collecting part (2). (c) The insect catching rod (3) is inserted into the insertion hole (7) of the fixing part (4) provided on the bottom surface of the collecting part (2). The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration. When using the present invention, a small amount of water is poured into the collecting part, the collecting part is grasped, and the insect catching rod is inserted into the gaps between the branches and leaves of a grapevine or pear trellis. Then, by shaking the hand in small movements, the vibration of the tip of the insect catching rod is amplified, so that it hits the gold beetles or leaves, causing them to fall into the tray and be collected in the storage part. After capturing the gold beetles, the collecting part can be removed and turned upside down to easily remove the gold beetles. The insect catching rod can be made of metal, resin, or wood.
