PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance an oviposition rate by providing uniform natural environment from collection to oviposition of fireflies.SOLUTION: A collection box is composed of sides made of net surfaces through which the inside is visible and natural wind flows for holding captured firefly imagos. A container filled with water is placed on the inner bottom of the collection box, and a Saran (R) net is dented in such a way as to be partly soaked in the water in the container and dry sphagnum is placed on the net to make an oviposition floor.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】蛍の採取から産卵に至るまで同一の自然環境を実現して産卵率を高める。【解決手段】捕獲した蛍の成虫を収容するために、側面を目視可能かつ自然風の流通可能な網面で構成した採取箱とし、その採取箱の内部底面に、水を満たした容器をおき、その水にその一部が浸る状態でサランネットを凹状に加工して乾燥水苔を載置して産卵床とした。【選択図】図2
