Abstract

As part of a study on temporal distributions of biting flies, a trap was designed that attempts to maximize both number of incorporates multi-directional ramps, radiating baffles and CO2 attraction. A turntable fitted with 30 sample bags is used to segregate catches into 30 minute intervals. A single field season has proven the trap effective both in maximizing catches and in reliability.
