The present invention relates to an insect collecting device, and more particularly, to an insect collecting device that is structurally stable, easy to carry, and has an improved collection rate.

In general, insect gathering is the process of catching insects in the natural state to study insects and make specimens. Here, the method of collecting insects depends on the appearance and properties of the insect. Usually, butterflies and moths are caught in insect nets and placed in triangle bags, and scarabs are collected in collecting bottles. In addition, it catches insects such as watermelon peel, rotten meat, and molasses in an empty container or an empty bottle, and catches insects such as moths gathering in the light by using light in the evening.

These captured insects can be sampled. There are two methods of sampling insects: dry specimens and immersion specimens. Dried specimens are made by drying insects and are often used to sample small, winged butterflies, moths, dragonflies and scarabs. Liquid samples are often used to sample spiders or fish with a lot of moisture or muscles in the body, and can be made by soaking in liquids such as alcohol or formalin. After the specimen is made, a label indicating the name of the sampled insect, the location of the collection, the date of collection, and the name of the person to be collected are labeled.

On the other hand, in order to collect underwater insects or fish and shellfish, the device should not be knocked down or floated by the water even in the flowing water, and must be stably supported on the ground. In addition, because the device is small compared to the width of the flowing river, and the speed of the water is faster, a special configuration will be required to maximize the collection of insects moving in close proximity to the device.
