If you want to have text with those as well, make a draft and I will post it as a proper article.

Any tips on small traps I can use on my balcony at my flat in the city?  Is it immoral to catch and kill insects just to take photos, not to collect them? |

Can't find the "Collecting and Preserving Insects and Mites" document ... The link I posted is dead and I can't find the PDF on my drives. Perhaps this mentions other traps. |

Pitfall traps can also be very usefull to collect flies. For example several species of the genus Geomyza (Opomyzidae) which are hardly collected at all with flight interception and malaise traps are easily collected with pitfall traps. Geomyza apicalis is a good example. Also light traps, often used by lepidopterists, attract a lot of flies. Jan Willem |

A one-man company makes Malaise traps for 50 euros. Admittably the traps are smaller than Bioform's (about 1x1m), but I have never found this to be a problem; the smaller traps produce quite enough material for me. And I think four smaller traps is a better idea than one gigantic one. I have one cheap 2nd-hand trap I could sell. It is not quite new, a moose ran straight through the trap and scattered the remains (and quite a lot of fur) all over the peat bog where the trap was  If you are looking for a challange at the sewing machine, these trap remains are for you

I'd always recommend buying your first Malaise trap - but maybe I am just lazy? They can be quite fiddly to make and it is always a good idea to have one in front of you to copy. The fabric tent is relatively straightforward to sew together but a good bottle attachment might involve some metalwork to make it sturdy ... though I'm not sure anything could withstand Kahis's Moose! The worst I ever had was a small deer that tore the tent to shreds ... but luckily it was the end of the season and the fabric had started to rot anyway |
