A) The Composite Insect Trap is a passive trap designed to collect as broad a spectrum of insects as possible, utilizing ideas from other, more specialized trap designs in a novel construction. The plastic components of the cone form the collection chamber (B and C). B) The modified plastic container with embedded bottle top will hold the alcohol for killing and storing insects. C) The top of the two-liter bottle will be attached to the mesh fabric of the cone. D) The bamboo rods stabilize the top part of the flight intercept trap. E) The yellow pan trap sits below the flight intercept trap and is filled with soapy water to act simultaneously as a killing and collecting dish.
