Abstract
The captures of Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Homoptera–Hemiptera were compared during simultaneous operation of glass-barrier, Malaise, rotary, and sticky traps. The results show that the rotary is by far the most reliable and versatile for most groups of insects, then the Malaise, glass-barrier, and sticky traps in a decreasing order of reliability but increasing order of versatility.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
