Extract

In the course of some work at Rothamsted on the activity and abundance of insects, in which a light trap was used as a method of estimating the numbers of insects in a state of activity, it appeared advisable to have a further trapping method which did not depend on phototropic response for its efficiency. A rough design for a mechanical trap was therefore drawn up by the senior author.
