F.1

The invention relates to biological research in particular to the study of the genetic reactions of insects,

. The purpose of the invention is to expand the range of research in the study of behavioral approaches to insects by modifying various conditions of vital activity.

Figure 1 shows the device, top view; in fig. 2 - connection of the box with the refuge, section A-A in FIG „1; in FIG. 3, the connection of the box with the labyrinth by means of an adapter, section BB in FIG. 15 in FIG. 4, the box for breeding and keeping insects; fig 5 is a shelter for insects; j fig 6 is an adapter; Fig, 7 - maze cover; in fig. 8 is a maze diagram; FIG. 9 is a device modification diagram using standard modules.

The device is made of plexiglas and includes a central box 1 with a drinking trough 2, a feeding trough 3, a shelter 4 with a connecting element 5 having a passage 6 covered with a darkening coating - a cover 7 made of black. The box has an opening (not shown) for connecting the additional slab; pies 8, the box is mounted on legs 9, in the side walls 10 have holes with holes (not indicated), to which adapters 11 are connected with passages 12. The device also contains labyrinth 13 on the legs 14,. The number of labyrinths can be increased. Labyrinths are covered with lids 15 with the territory of the labyrinth divided by partitions 16 into a certain number of sections 17 The labyrinths have holes 18 for connecting adapters 11 and end boxes 19j in which it is possible to create different conditions, using adapters to quickly detach the labyrinths of boxes and shelters with one another in different ways. Boxes, labyrinths, made in the form of separate buildings,

The device works as follows. ..

In the central box 1, four holes are sealed in the side walls 105; water is placed in the drinking trough 2, the food is

in the stern 3, a shelter 4 is connected to the box (Fig. 2), the shelter 4 is darkened with a cover 7, which, if necessary, is removed. The inner surface of the side walls of boxes 1 and 19 is covered with a layer of vaseline oil with a 2 cm wide strip that prevents insects from crawling out,

In the central box 1, an experimental population group is formed, insects of the necessary number, which, before the start of the experiment, are tagged and returned. The labyrinths 13c are attached to the central box by means of the loops 15. The end boxes 19 are also connected to the labyrinths. Before the start of the experiment, the aisles 12 are opened, freeing holes in the side walls 10. Insects allow free movement, settlement, selection of optimal conditions within the entire device. In necessary terms. Note the position of insects in those or other areas of the device.
