Description

Traps may be used for collecting insects emerging from different materials.

Specification

The top compartment is of white Nylon netting (104 x 94 mesh/square inch) to permit light to enter and moisture to quickly evaporate. The tray is of grey plastic and cut into grille to hold soil samples. The bottom funnel is of black, smooth Nylon cloth. Funnel comes with one Eppendorf tube (50 ml) for collection containers. Berlese funnel is designed to let moisture evaporate naturally through the netting in the top compartment. It can rapidly extract soil-dwelling arthropods without requiring a heat source, especially when only a thin layer of leaf litter or humus is placed on the tray

Services

Traps may be used for collecting insects emerging from soil, dead wood, plant materials in ecological studies and for forecasting of appearance of agricultural and forest pests.
