The suspended trap for flying insects is specifically designed for sampling species inhabiting the canopy and upper strata of wooded environments. It is an ideal tool for entomological studies targeting insects that are difficult to access from the ground, particularly in biodiversity monitoring, faunal inventories, and scientific research contexts.
Its robust yet lightweight design allows for quick and secure installation at height using a simple suspension system. Positioned in the canopy or upper forest edges, it provides effective interception of flying insects circulating in these under-sampled zones.
Modular in design, this trap can be adapted to various sampling protocols depending on the attractants or preservation fluids used (pheromones, food attractants, alcohol, etc.). It is supplied without jars, allowing users to select the most appropriate setup for their scientific needs.
