Bottom Collector for Standard SLAM Trap II

** Used with the standard SLAM trap only

The bottom collector is designed to be compatible with our standard SLAM trap (BT1014).  This allows the SLAM trap to effectively sample species, such as Coleoptera, that fold their wings and drop after colliding with an obstacle.  The bottom collector features a coarse mesh with a 2 by 2 cm grid on top, preventing large leaves and twigs from clogging the collecting bottle.
