A light-trap with upwardly directed illumination and temporal segregation of the catch
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Abstract
The construction and functioning of a light-trap designed to catch only insects in flight at a height of greater than 5·5 m is described. The trap segregates the catch into hourly samples throughout the night.
