One advantage of the Malaise trap is that it efficiently catches flying insects such as Hymenoptera and Diptera. Since it does not, by itself, attract insects, placement of a Malaise trap can significantly affect the number of insects caught. This Townes-style ez-Malaise trap is for scientists experienced with the hassles of setting up a Malaise trap when the ideal location has no trees to supply support.
Fast & Easy - Set Up ez-Malaise Trap in Minutes!
Of the same dimensions as our traditional Malaise trap, the ez-Malaise trap is improved by the addition of a framework of shock-corded poles, permitting quick installation. Simply hook clips onto provided poles. The ez-Malaise trap is nearly freestanding, requiring a minimum of two guy ropes. This timesaving feature is a lifesaver for those who need to deploy many Malaise traps in habitats where trees and bushes are hard to reach.
The Malaise trap is often viewed as a long-term sampling tool. Since this ez-Malaise trap is so easy to assemble, it can be repositioned anytime and used on a short-term basis.
If necessary, the ez-Malaise trap can be set up without provided poles. It comes with all the loops needed for traditional installation: supported with poles or hanging from trees.
