外米綴蛾飼育及成蛾收集方法之改進

Abstract

於本試驗中進行外米綴蛾 (Corcyra cephalonica Stainton) 幼蟲飼育及成蛾收集方法的改進。以較便宜的米糠混合碎粒玉米 (5：4，v / v)代替慣用的糙米作為外米綴蛾幼蟲的飼料。其次是改進收成蛾的器材和步驟，使羽化的成蛾能掉入集蛾瓶中。 A modified method to rear and collect the rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica Stainton, has been developed. To rear the larvae, a cheaper diet that was a combination of rice bran and crashed corn (5:4, v / v) was used in place of brown rice. To collect the moths, the apparatus and method were improved so that adult moths dropped into the container when they flew from the rearing tray; the labor of collecting adults was thereby greatly reduced.
