Extract

Since 1923 the writer has operated a light trap at Bozeman for the purpose of recording fauna and seasonal fluctuations in the population of Phalaenid moths. This trap, known as the “Field Trap,” is located on the east edge of a large agricultural experimental field which is cut into many plots. The trap is about 100 yards west of the nearest building, and is on a pole with the light about six feet above the ground.
