The invention discloses a field capturing, short-term storing and feeding device for
blood sucking midges and a using method thereof. The device is composed of a
living body maintaining
pipe, a sealing cover and a base. The
living body maintaining tube is placed on the base; and a sealing cover is arranged at the top of the
living body maintaining tube. The use method comprises the following steps: capturing living
blood sucking midges in the field by utilizing the capturing state of the device; the device is converted into a feeding state, that is, a rubber plug fixed with an
insect inlet unit and an air suction unit is removed, and a threaded semi-sealing cover with a feeding filter screen is installed;
nutrient solution is provided for the gnat in the living body maintaining
pipe through the feeding filter screen. The field catching, short-term storage and feeding integrated device overcomes the defects that an existing
blood sucking midge collecting device cannot give consideration to the high catching rate, the
high survival rate and the short-term storage and feeding function, and is simple in structure, convenient and fast to operate and capable of remarkably improving the
survival rate of gnat from the catching stage to the laboratory stage.
