Description

Mosquito feeding device

The present invention relates to a feeding device, and more particularly to a mosquito feeding device.

In summer, mosquitoes multiply and people often suffer from bites of various mosquitoes. For the prevention and control of mosquitoes, the fastest and most widely used method is the spraying of insecticides. When the drug is applied, the selection of the agent, the dosage and the spraying mode have a great influence on the effectiveness of the prevention and treatment. Therefore, it must be carefully evaluated before application and confirmed after the application.

Although the commercially available insect cages have excellent gas permeability, the system which does not have water and nutrient supply is inconvenient to be used for long-term field testing, and additional water supply equipment must be added. While traditional feeding cups can use cotton for water replenishment and sugar supply, it is important to always pay attention to whether the cotton is moist and add water or sugar as needed. In addition, the traditional feeding cups have poor gas permeability, which may affect the penetration of the medicament, and are less suitable for the efficacy analysis or the effectiveness evaluation of the medicament spraying.

One aspect of the present invention is to provide a mosquito breeding apparatus comprising a cage, at least one tubular body, at least one water absorbing body, and at least one closure. The cage has a feeding space, and the tube body is installed in the cage and communicates with the feeding space. The water absorbing body is positioned in the tube body to absorb the liquid and supply the liquid to the feeding space. The closure is used to seal the tubular body.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a chassis is further included, the chassis being disposed at a bottom of the cage.

Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a mosquito breeding apparatus comprising a cage, a chassis, at least one tube body, and at least one water absorbing body. The cage has a feeding space, the chassis is arranged at a bottom of the cage, and the tubular body is installed in the cage and communicates with the feeding space. The water absorbing body is positioned in the tube body to absorb the liquid and supply the liquid to the feeding space.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the water absorbing body is a cotton tampon.

In accordance with an embodiment of the present embodiment, a gauze is further included, the gauze covering the cage.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cage wall of the cage is a plate body, the cage wall comprises a perforation and a film, the film is disposed on the perforation, and the film has a mouth.

Referring to Fig. 1, a perspective view of a mosquito feeding device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The mosquito feeding device of the present invention comprises a cage 100, at least one tubular body 200, at least one water absorbing body 300, and at least one closure member 900. The cage 100 has a feeding space 110, and the tubular body 200 is installed in the cage 100 and communicates with the feeding space 110. The water absorbing body 300 is positioned within the tubular body 200 for absorbing liquid and supplying liquid to the feeding space 110. The sealing member 900 is used to seal the tubular body 200 so that the liquid in the tubular body 200 is not easily evaporated, and other mosquitoes such as flies can be avoided.

The above-mentioned "positioning" refers to a method in which the water absorbing body 300 is caught in the tubular body 200, for example, the volume of the water absorbing body 300 is slightly larger than that of the tubular body 200. When injecting liquid In the tube body 200, the water absorbing body 300 absorbs liquid, which is kept moist by capillary action to supply the liquid to the feeding space 110. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the water absorbing body 300 is a tampon.

The above liquid may be water or syrup. Water is used to maintain the humidity required for feeding, avoiding excessive drying and causing mosquito death, while syrup is supplied by mosquitoes to provide nutrients for growth.

The mosquito feeding device may further comprise a gauze 400, and the gauze 400 covers the cage 100. When the cage wall is hollowed out, covering the cage 100 with the gauze 400 allows the cage 100 to have excellent gas permeability and facilitate penetration of the medicament into the rearing space 110. Further, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the mosquito breeding apparatus includes a chassis 700 disposed at a bottom of the cage 100 for placing filter paper and cotton, and maintaining the humidity of the rearing space 110 after the cotton is wetted. The bottom of the cage 100 refers to the side that is supported when the cage 100 is placed.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the mosquito feeding device uses an acrylic rod as a supporting skeleton, the lower edge of the acrylic rod is provided with a groove, and a removable acrylic chassis 700 is mounted and covered with a gauze 400. The front, rear, left and right sides of the mosquito feeding device. Two acrylic plates 800 are arranged at the upper diagonal corner of the mosquito feeding device, and a circular hole is arranged in the middle of the acrylic plate 800, and the outer portion of the acrylic plate 800 is covered by the gauze 400, and the chassis 700 is A gauze is also provided on the contact surface of the rearing space 110. The tubular body 200 is mounted on the two round holes above the mosquito feeding device, the water absorbing body 300 is positioned in the tubular body 200, and the closing member 900 is used to seal the tubular body 200.

Referring to FIG. 2, a perspective view of a mosquito feeding device according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown. One of the cage walls of this embodiment is a plate body 500. The cage wall includes a perforation 510 and a membrane 600. The film 600 is disposed on the perforation 510, and the film 600 has a mouth 610 for extending into the gripping mosquito.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the mosquito feeding device uses an acrylic rod as a supporting skeleton, a lower edge of the acrylic rod is provided with a groove, and a removable acrylic chassis 700 is mounted, and the gauze 400 is used. Covering the left and right sides of the mosquito feeding device, the front and rear faces are the plate body 500, and the plate body 500 has a hole 510 in the center thereof. The hole 510 is provided with a film 600 having a mouth 610. In one example, the film 600 is a dental dam. In another illustration, two layers of film 600 are disposed on the perforations 510. The two layers of film 600 are staggered over the perforations 510, and the slits 610 of the two layers of film 600 are at an angle of 90 degrees to each other. Two acrylic plates 800 are disposed above the mosquito feeding device, and a circular hole is formed in the middle of the acrylic plate 800, and a portion outside the acrylic plate 800 is covered with the gauze 400. The tubular body 200 is mounted on the two round holes above the mosquito feeding device, the water absorbing body 300 is positioned in the tubular body 200, and the closing member 900 is used to seal the tubular body 200.

Referring to FIG. 3, a perspective view of a mosquito feeding device according to still another embodiment of the present invention is shown. The tube body 200 of this embodiment is installed obliquely in the cage 100 so that the mosquito feeding device can be stacked to save space.

According to the above-mentioned novel embodiment, the novel is characterized in that the mosquito feeding device has the functions of the former insect cage and the feeding cup, and the present invention can keep the water in the feeding space for a long time compared with the conventional method of replenishing water and sugar water. Humidity and supply of sugar water for mosquitoes to smoke.
