Adult black soldier fly larvae breeding method and artificial light source applicable thereto

Abstract

The invention discloses an artificial light source applicable to breeding of adult black soldier fly larvae. The artificial light source at least can generate at least one of blue light, green light and ultraviolet light, the wavelength of the used blue light ranges from 420nm to 470nm, the wavelength of the used green light ranges from 500nm to 535nm, and the wavelength of the used blue light ranges from 355nm to 380nm. The artificial light source can also generate white light with color temperature ranging from 3000K to 7000K. The artificial light source is used as a supplementary lighting source in an adult black soldier fly larvae breeding space, or a unique light source. The invention further provides an adult black soldier fly larvae breeding method, and in the adult black soldier fly larvae breeding space, the artificial light source is adopted to irradiate the artificial light source. Based on the vision characteristics of two compound eyes and three single eyes on the heads ofadult black soldier fly larvae and the sensitivity degree on the stimulation of the specific-wavelength light, the breeding rate of the adult black soldier fly larvae can be increased, the generationof useless light can be reduced, and the energy consumption of the artificial light source in the adult black soldier fly larvae breeding space.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of insect breeding and relates to the breeding of black soldier flies, in particular to an artificial light source suitable for the breeding of black soldier fly adults and a method for breeding black soldier fly adults using the artificial light source. The breeding method of the present invention adopts a specific light source to irradiate the adult black soldier flies to improve the breeding rate of the black soldier flies. Background technique [0002] The black soldier fly (Hermitia illucens L.) is an insect of the genus Soldieri in the family Soldieridae of the order Diptera, also known as the bright Soldier Fly. As a kind of resource insect widely distributed in the world, the black soldier fly larvae can use kitchen waste, livestock and poultry manure, agricultural and sideline product leftovers, etc. as food, and transform them into their own substances such as protein, lipid, etc. The problem of u...

Problems solved by technology

The above documents all use iodine-tungsten lamps to supplement the light, but the power of the iodine-tungsten lamps is too high and consumes a lot of energy, which greatly increases the cost of artificial breeding of black soldier flies

In addition, there are also cases where fluorescent light sources have been used to successfully induce mating of black soldier fly adults, but fluorescent light is not an ideal artificial light source. First, because the lifespan of fluorescent light is too short, the spectrum of the light source emitted will change within two months, resulting in The light source is invalid; the second is because the fluorescent lamp uses AC power supply, the stroboscopic flicker is more obvious, and it is easy to confuse the adult black soldier flies
