@dragonflycn Ant trapper!

This morning I put out some baited traps to collect ants underground and in trees. For the underground traps I use these microcentrifuge tubes with neat holes at the top and bait in the lid The bait is a delicious mixture of peanut butter, sardines and honey

Happy International Women’s Day!

The last trap had some visitors before I even left the site which is always great to see I worry about these ones because they're at risk of being disturbed by people, so I deploy them on the weekend when there are fewer people around

These are the arboreal traps taped to trees and secured with thumb tacks. The bait is in the lid of the jar

It doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to be recognizable. I'm looking forward to some new species I've never collected before so keep your fingers crossed

After digging, the tube (with a preservative) is gently placed in the hole and covered with soil I use whatever is around to make an arrangement over the trap so I can locate it in 2 days

@khanodesu I feel that

The way I kinda wanna play but no one ever replies to mine

@Mikeropod This is my first time coming across them in leaf litter and there were so many

@dragonflycn Psocids, too! I never used to run into that order.

Today's invertebrate haul from a leaf litter trap

@khanodesu I apologize on behalf of my people

Can’t believe an ant but me on my tongue

@bujsha You know it!

@dragonflycn With such short elytra those wings must be extra folded

@Mikeropod Thanks Mike! I'm glad to have gotten decent pictures of them all

@dragonflycn Nice diverse haul!
