Extract

In collecting adults of the armyworm, and other moths for oviposition studies, a simple method of capture at baits was found useful. An electric flashlight, having a flat lens, was used with a flat-bottomed vial three-quarters of an inch in diameter, straight sided and about five inches deep. It will be found that when the bottom of the vial is placed against the lens of the flashlight both can be firmly grasped in the right hand.
