Night Collecting Tent

BugDorm Night Collecting Tent, constructed of lightweight plastic sheeting and shock-corded poles, is a time-saving tool for collecting nocturnal insects.  This self-supporting, tent-like structure is fast and easy to install with the built-in support poles.  A loop about two-thirds of each side is for guy lines for support in the wind.
