Bottom Collector for Standard SLAM Trap

** Used with the standard SLAM trap only

The bottom collector is made to fit with our standard SLAM trap (BT1014) so that the SLAM trap can sample species, e.g. Coleoptera, that fold their wings and drop after striking an obstacle.  This bottom collector has a coarse mesh (2 by 2 cm grid) on top to stop large leaves and twigs from clogging the bottom collecting bottle.
