Adaptación de un aspirador de jardín para la captura de insectos

AVINENT, L. and LLACER, G., 1995: Adaptation of a gardening device to collect insects. Bol. San. Veg. Plagas, 21(3): 329-335. A gardening device, Super Air Stream IV (McCulloch), was adapted to suck insects from weeds, bushes and trees. The suction collecting machine allows to increase the number of insects per sample (compared with the sweepnet) and the organisms are sucked into a collecting bag and taken to the laboratory without damage. Detailed plans for the construction of the suction machine are presented.
