Abstract
The sampler consists of a box which may be rapidly clamped onto the plant, and in which trapped insects may be anaesthetized with carbon dioxide. The box is made in 2 halves, hinged along 1 side, with foam rubber strips on the joining edges to accommodate the plant''s stem and make a close fit. The efficiency of the sampler for various Arthropod groups is discussed.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
