Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an insect to be fed without taking out the insect to prevent the inhibition of growth and the occurrence of fatal accident by imparting irritation thereto when feeding the insect, and further to reduce the space for raising. SOLUTION: This container for culturing a fungus of a mushroom is constituted of three parts of a lid part, a body part and a bottom part and formed by integrating them by screws. The container is used by inserting a food therein, and changing a raising volume by directly attaching or detaching the body part to or from another body part so that the volume may be adjusted to the growth of the insect.

Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a culture medium such as sawdust is placed in a mushroom fungus culture vessel having a volume of about 500 ml to about 4 liters, and a mushroom fungus such as Oyster mushroom is inoculated. Larvae of beetles such as larvae were put into the larvae, and the contents of the container were fed to the larvae to raise and grow. Alternatively, fermented wood chips were fed into a container for feeding. When feces became noticeable in the container, the larva was taken out and transferred to another container with new food, and the larva was able to continue growing by repeating the new food in the container and repeating this . Also, in order to avoid irritation, a large container was filled with a large amount of food as much as possible, and the number of times the larva was transferred to another container was reduced.

は広い置き場所を必要とするという問題があった。In the conventional breeding method, when the larva is transferred from an old container in which feces are conspicuous to a container containing a new food, it is avoided that the larva touches the outside air and temporarily changes the environment. In addition, larvae sometimes hated new foods, resulting in growth suppression and death. In addition, when a large container is filled with a large amount of food and bred in that container, the growth speed of the culture medium and mushroom fungi that are the food is faster than the growth speed of the larva, and it becomes unsuitable as a food. In addition, the growth of larvae may be suppressed, and further, when larvae are bred in large quantities, there is a problem that a large amount of large breeding containers requires a large storage space.

Supplies new food without exposing the air to the outside. Further, the container containing the old bait is used as an evacuation site when the larva hates the new bait, and is removed when the larva moves to the container containing the new bait by itself. Alternatively, the lid of the container may be removed and the lower part of another body containing the new food may be joined.
