Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION I Purpose of Invention (1) Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a breeding observation box for insects, especially beetles and stag beetles.

(2) Conventional technology For beetles such as beetles and stag beetles, a mulch crushed from humus such as kunugi and oak is laid in a breeding box made of transparent plastic to prevent the humus from drying. The animals are raised from the larva to the adult while feeding. Then, for example, beetles are found from the end of spring to the beginning of summer, and the hatched larvae pupate from the end of spring to summer of the following year, and emerge as adults after several weeks, and survive for about two months.

(3) Problems to be solved by the device However, since the larvae and pupae survive in the mulch soil of the breeding box, it is impossible to observe minute ecology when the pupae emerge into adults.

Also, a beetle pupa container that puts the pupa in a container with an egg-shaped concave surface on the bottom and emerges is actually used in Shokai Sho 63-26267.
However, since this container is not transparent, there is a problem that the emergence of pupae cannot be observed in detail.

The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a transparent emergence observation container on the peripheral side surface of a breeding box so that larvae of insects bred in the breeding box can be provided. An object of the present invention is to provide a breeding box with an insect emergence observation container, which can be easily housed in an emergence observation container when the pupae become pupae and can observe the ecology of emergence of the pupa in detail.

II Configuration of the invention (1) Means for solving the problem A breeding observation box with a detachable container for observing the emergence of insects, which is a transparent breeding box body and the upper surface of the breeding box body. Equipped with a lid attached to the housing and a transparent emergence observation container attached to the peripheral side of the breeding box body, the pupae of insects grown in mullet soil laid inside the breeding observation box are transformed into transparent wings. It constitutes a breeding observation box with an emergence observation container that is housed in an observation container for observation.

Further, the emergence observation container has a transparent cup-shaped container having a locking piece protruding from the back surface, and a cap-shaped upper lid having a large number of vent holes screwed into the upper end of the container. The locking piece fixed to the peripheral side surface of the breeding box body may be detachably engaged with the locking piece on the back surface of the container.

(2) Action In the breeding observation box with emergence observation container according to the present invention, mulch soil is laid in a transparent breeding box body, adult hatched adults are grown, and when the pupae become pupae, pupae are taken out from the mullet soil and emerged. It is housed in an observation container, and the ecology of pupal emergence is observed through a transparent container. After it emerges and becomes an adult, it is returned to the mulch soil in the housing box and grown again.

(3) Embodiment Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a breeding observation box 10 with an emergence observation container is a transparent breeding box body 12 made of plastic, a lid body 14 fitted to the upper end of the breeding box body 12, and a breeding box. A transparent emergence observation container 16 attached to the peripheral side surface of the body 12 is provided.

The lid 14 has a ventilation hole 18 and a feed opening similar to the lid of a normal breeding box, and the transparent breeding box body 12 has a thickness 15 of mulch 20 obtained by crushing humus such as kunugi and oak. Approximately 20 cm is laid to grow hatched larvae.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the emergence observation container 16 has a transparent cup-shaped container 22 made of plastic with a male screw 24 engraved on the upper end thereof, and the male screw 24 has a cap-shaped upper lid 26. Are screwed together. A large number of vent holes 28 are opened in the upper lid 26, and a scale 30 is displayed on the container 22 when the animal is also used as a food container when breeding other organisms.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the rear surface of the container 22 has a plan view T.
A model-shaped locking piece 32 is provided so as to project. And this locking piece
A lock receiver 34 for engaging the 32 is fixed to the peripheral side surface of the breeding box body 12 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, and the lock piece 32 is locked.
The plurality of emergence observation containers 16 are attached to the peripheral side surface of the breeding box body 12 as shown in FIG.

If the larvae growing in the mulch 20 of the breeding box 12 pupate,
Remove the pupae 36 from inside the mulch 20 and use the emergence observation container 16 on the outer surface.
House inside. The pupa 36 emerges in a few weeks while the body temperature is adjusted by the air flowing from the ventilation hole 28 of the upper lid 26, and the biology of the pupa 36 can be observed completely through the container 22. In particular, the container 22 is attached to the lock receiver 34 provided on the peripheral side surface of the breeding box body 12.
Since the locking piece 32 can be detachably attached, the pupa and the emerged state can be observed closely while detaching the emergence observation container 16 from the breeding box body 12 and grasping it with the hand.

The emerged adults are returned to the mulch 20 of the breeding box 12,
Spawn while growing.

The emergence observation container 16 is one that can also be used as a feeding box when breeding other organisms in the breeding box body 12, such as goldfish and turtles, and keeps food in the container 22 from the breeding box body 12. Take out the emergence observation container 16 and tilt it into the breeding box 12 to cover it.
The bait can be sprayed from the ventilation holes 28 of 26.

III Effect of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, a transparent emergence container for accommodating pupae is provided on the peripheral side of a transparent breeding box body, so that larvae bred in the breeding box body become pupae. At that time, the pupae can be quickly housed in the emergence observation container, and the pupal emergence state can be observed in detail.

Further, the adults after the emergence can be easily returned from the emergence observation container to the mulch soil in the housing box and allowed to grow.

In addition, the emergence observation container is detachably attached to the lock receiver provided on the peripheral side surface of the breeding box body, so that the emergence observation container can be detached from the breeding case body and grasped by the hand so that the pupae and the emergence state are familiar Can be observed.
