The invention belongs to the technical field of
insect investigation, and particularly relates to a portable worm egg collecting device and method for investigation and collection. The device is mainly formed by butting two combined functional boxes through fasteners, each combined functional box is formed by clamping a bottom box, a partition plate, a middle box and a top box from bottom to top, an egg collecting
system is installed in each middle box, and each egg collecting
system is mainly composed of a lead screw motor, a lead screw, a clamping frame and an egg collecting block. The lead screw motor is controlled to drive the lead screw to rotate in the forward direction, and the lead screw drives the clamping frame on the bottom layer and the egg collecting blocks on the clamping frame to move downwards till the clamping frame on the bottom layer and the egg collecting blocks on the clamping frame are separated from the lead screw, fall into the bottom box through the partition plate and are taken away regularly. In this way, the requirement for collecting the worm eggs of
trunk borers represented by longhorn beetles, weevils and codling moths is met; the preservation conditions that the temperature is 12-15 DEG C and the RH is 75% can be maintained in real time, and the sample activity is ensured to exceed 72 hours.
