Re: NANFA-- collecting bugs for fish food ( Attn. university types)
Hello All,
I like to bury jars so that the ground level is flush with the ground. The
insects fall in and often can't climb up the glass sides of the container.
I try to watch the weather predictions so as to avoid leaving these traps
out in the rain. This seems to net me a pretty steady supply of terrestrial
insects during the warm months.
