New modular design, each trap component can be purchased and replaced individually in case of loss or damage. To replace the collection head or fabric trap body, please refer to the manual “Trap Collection Head” included in the package for detailed instructions.

The flaps around the base can be covered with soil (60 X 60 cm) to keep the insects inside. Loops at four corners are for the tent pegs (NOT included) needed in wind. A large dome-shaped zipper is in one panel for easy access to inside.

To boost insect catch, this soil emergence trap is mostly black except the head entrance. A large dome-shaped zipper is in one panel for easy access to interior.

The collecting bottle is placed in the top pocket and zipped up to lock it in place. The white fabric is only on top, accelerating the catch.
