Method and device for luring spodoptera frugiperda imagoes to intensively lay eggs and receive eggs
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of artificial breeding of spodoptera frugiperda, in particular to a method and a device for inducing spodoptera frugiperda imagoes to intensively lay eggs and collect eggs.
Background
Spodoptera frugiperda is a worldwide pest, can harm hundreds of crops, quickly spreads since 2018 invasion into China, and causes serious harm to corn production in China. If the insect pests are well controlled, the biological habits of the insect pests need to be known, and a large number of test insects are obtained by adopting an artificial feeding method. The spawning and collection of adults are important links in the artificial feeding process, and the efficient, centralized, simple and less-pollution egg obtaining of spodoptera frugiperda is of great importance. If Spodoptera frugiperda is laid to produce effective eggs capable of hatching larvae, male and female adults must mate, and only fertilized eggs can hatch into larvae. In the spodoptera frugiperda bred in the same batch, female insects emerge first, and male insects emerge after two days. The female, which is first eclosion, needs to be supplemented with nutrients to promote the ovary to develop to maturity. Naturally, the eclosion adult male-female ratio is close to 1.
The current technology has the following defects:
1. the current method is to first distinguish the males and females of the newly emerged imagoes, and then put the male and female pairs into a paper tube or an insect cage. The step comprises a link of distinguishing male and female adults, so that the workload is increased. Training new insect feeders and teaching a male and female distinguishing method; the wing surface pattern is not obvious, and the tail part of the wing surface pattern is observed, so that adult insects are injured and frightened.
2. The adult which is eclosion firstly is female, and needs to be placed for 2-3 days independently to wait for the male eclosion, if the adult is not placed in a culture dish or an insect cage for supplying nutrition, the adult can die or is not nutritious, and the supply of nutrition takes manpower and material resources.
3. It is difficult to put the spodoptera frugiperda imagoes into the paper cylinder. The existing operation method is that the plant spodoptera frugiperda imagoes are put into the paper tube from the top end, but the spodoptera frugiperda imagoes can fly upwards, if a top cover is not quickly covered, the imagoes can escape, and a large amount of fine scales are generated when wings are flapped, so that the health of operators is damaged.
4. The Spodoptera frugiperda adults paired in the paper cylinder often lay eggs on the inner wall of the paper cylinder, the paper cylinder is generally cut to collect the eggs, the adults need to be moved out when the eggs are collected, and the adults can escape; the Spodoptera frugiperda adults paired in the yarn cage often lay eggs on the yarn net of the yarn cage or in the sewing gap of the yarn net, so that the egg collection is difficult.
5. When one of the paired male and female dies, one end needs to be supplemented, and the operation links are increased.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to examples, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
Example 1
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the device for inducing spodoptera frugiperda imagoes to intensively lay eggs and collect eggs in the embodiment, and the device comprises a yarn cage 1, wherein a cultivated corn stand 2 is arranged in the yarn cage; and a nutrition supplementing device is arranged above the yarn cage. The nutrition supplementing device comprises degreased cotton 3 and a medical infusion device 4; the medical infusion device is used for automatically adding honey water, cane sugar water or glucose water into the degreased cotton; the two sides of the yarn cage are provided with zipper openings (or one side of the yarn cage can be provided with the zipper openings), so that the yarn cage can be conveniently cleaned and Spodoptera frugiperda can be put into the yarn cage.
The method for inducing spodoptera frugiperda adults to intensively lay eggs comprises the following steps:
firstly, cultivating a corn cluster, transversely cutting an aged corn cob into sections with the length of 5 cm, longitudinally and equally dividing the corn cob into two semi-cylindrical shapes, burying the semi-cylindrical corn cob downwards in a flowerpot, and covering the flowerpot with 3 cm of soil. Pouring enough water, and placing in a warm environment with sufficient light. When most corns show 5 leaves, the corns are taken, the density of the corn seedlings is very high at the moment, the corn seedlings reach 50 plants per square decimeter, the leaves are staggered, and the Spodoptera frugiperda imagoes are favorite for laying eggs.
A50X 35 cm gauze cage was used, most of the grown corn clumps with 5 leaves were placed in the gauze cage, and a drip tray was placed under the pot to prevent the oozing water from wetting the gauze cage. The yarn cage is arranged in a pest breeding room suitable for spodoptera frugiperda to lay eggs.
A piece of degreased cotton with the thickness of 12 multiplied by 20 cm and the thickness of 1.5 cm is placed on the insect cage, and 10 percent of cane sugar water is added by a medical infusion device to supplement nutrition for adults. The flow rate is controlled by adjusting the switch, so that the dropped liquid can soak the degreased cotton but not drop the liquid. To prevent excess liquid from dripping to contaminate the yarn cage, a petri dish or water pan can be placed at the bottom of the yarn cage under the cotton wool. The adult can feed liquid through the yarn cage to supplement nutrition.
100 Spodoptera frugiperda pupas to be eclosized are placed into an insect cage, after the female insects eclosion, sugar water is taken from the insect cage to supplement nutrition, and after two days, the male insects begin to mate after eclosion, and then lay eggs.
In the daytime, females prefer to inhabit the corn cluster. Mating at night and laying eggs on leaves. And checking whether the leaves and the stalks of the corn cluster have egg masses every other day, and shearing the egg masses together with the leaves of the corn directly and incubating additionally. One pot of corn clump can be changed every three days. When egg masses which are individually laid on the yarn cage are found, the egg masses are cleaned in time by a writing brush and taken out.
As a result, it was found that 46 eggs were produced in 3 days, 43 eggs (93.5%) were produced on leaves or stalks of corn, 2 eggs (4.3%) were produced on a gauze cage, and 1 egg (2.2%) was produced on a pot for cultivating a corn clump. When only 3 pots of corn seedlings planted individually are placed in the same cage, the percentage of egg laying on the cage is as high as 78.1%. The corn clumps have strong attraction effect on the egg laying of the spodoptera frugiperda imagoes.
Example 2
The method for inducing spodoptera frugiperda adults to intensively lay eggs comprises the following steps:
a gauze cage of 50X 35 cm is taken, 3 pots of corn seedlings planted with 5 leaves are placed in the gauze cage, and a water receiving tray is placed below the flowerpot to prevent seepage water from wetting the gauze cage. The yarn cage is arranged in an environment suitable for spodoptera frugiperda to lay eggs.
A sponge with the thickness of 1.5 cm and the thickness of 12 multiplied by 20 cm is placed on the insect cage, 10 percent of cane sugar water is added by a duct, and the sponge is soaked by the dripped liquid but the liquid is not dripped; to supplement nutrition to adults. To prevent excess liquid from dripping to contaminate the creel, a petri dish or a drip tray can be placed at the bottom of the creel below the sponge. The adult can take the liquid to supplement nutrition through the yarn cage.
100 Spodoptera frugiperda pupas to be eclosized are placed into an insect cage, after the female insects eclosion, sugar water is taken from the insect cage to supplement nutrition, and after two days, the male insects begin to mate after eclosion, and then lay eggs.
As a result, 32 eggs were found in 3 days, which was significantly less than 46 eggs laid in the corn clumps, and only 7 eggs (21.9%) were laid on the corn leaves, and 25 eggs (78.1%) were laid on the gauze, indicating that not the corn seedlings but the corn clumps were more attractive for the egg laying of the Spodoptera frugiperda adults.
The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications which do not depart from the spirit and principle of the present invention should be construed as equivalents thereof, and all such changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications are intended to be included in the scope of the present invention.
