Extract

During investigations at the Charlottetown laboratory on the biologies of root maggots and their predators, an attempt was made to identify the various insect species present in rutabaga fields. Although many specimens of several species were observed around rutabaga plants, few of them were captured with ordinary sweep nets. The mobile collecting cage described herein was devised to collect large numbers of many species of insects alive and uninjured.
