Mini Insect Breeder BD7001
(a) These emergence traps are excellent to rear field collected mosquito larvae separately into adults. This will avoid unwarranted contamination of the laboratory adopted insects with fungus and bacteria. (b) Increase the production by optimising the insectary space. Since the bottm bowl is 1000ml and can hold upto 500-600 pupae, separately 10 units can hold almost 5000 pupae which is morethan optimum for any regular insectaries requirement. (c) Increases human resource efficiency. These traps help avoid visiting the insectory only to do regular colony maintenance during holidays or weekends. A pupae emerged during Friday can be hold in these emergence traps so the adults are flied to the top insect holding container where sugar can be kept for the adults.
Sandflies or any other flies that grows on the mud can be easily be reared. Since these emergence traps are made of plastics, the cleaning and maintenance is easy.
