New Method for Collecting Adult Phryganeid Caddisflies (Trichoptera: Phryganeidae).

摘要

A fermented molasses trap was used to collect several specimens of the caddisfly genus Ptilostomis (Trichoptera: Phryaneidae). Molasses bait traps are inexpensive, relatively maintenance free, and can be used as an effective collecting technique. Molasses and other sugar-based materials are suggested to be a possible source of nutrition for these caddisflies. Keywords: Diptera. (AW)
