Abstract
A trap was developed for Euphasiopteryx spp. that caught as many E. ochracea females as a sticky trap but kept them healthy. Traps worked well for more than a year without repair. A trap in a north Florida pasture caught 1059 E. ocharacea in one year; a trap in a nearby woods caught 1576. Seasonal patterns of captures in the two habitats were similar. Numbers captured correlated with moon phase, periodically peaking within a few days after new moon.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
