Abstract: A technological line for rearing and/or breeding of flightless insects and/or larval forms of insects includes at least one level, being an autonomous conveyor belt with lateral sidewalls on both sides. The sidewalls have upper edges curved inwardly at least once, with a bending angle not less than 30°. Transverse brackets extend generally perpendicularly to and connect the sidewalls, and support the belt. The sidewalls are structural elements supporting edges of the belt, so that both the conveyor belt and the lateral sidewalls form a trough profile, and the pressure of the mass of the insects, which are on the surface of the belt and potentially additionally of the feed and/or excrement of insects press down on the edges of the belt against the sidewalls. The brackets and the sidewalls are made of a material with efficient heat conducting properties. A modular system and a method utilize the technological line.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a modular lamp system for insect breeding and reproduction stimulation, which comprises lamps emitting light in the range of about 400-800 nm and at least one lamp with a peak emission lower than about 410 nm, wherein the light intensity measured 50 cm from the light source is not less than 5000 Ix with an irradiance in the spectral range of 350-1000 nm at the level of 35-50 W/m2, wherein no less than 95% of the irradiance is in the range of 350-700 nm, and wherein the irradiance in the spectral range of 370-410 nm is 25-80% of irradiance in the range of 350-700 nm and is not less than 10 W/m2. The present invention also provides a method of insect breeding and use of the modular lamp system for stimulation of insect reproduction.
