To draw insects into the collecting chamber, most aspirators or pooters are designed so the user must suck air to create negative pressure. Some insects, such as ants and beetles, can emit particles harmful to the human body. There are also cases when desired insects are collected from feces or carcasses. Our HB-type aspirators decrease risk of swallowing hazardous particles by blowing air into aspirator with a hand-held syringe bulb instead of sucking air from aspirator. Insect pick-up straw can be turned to any direction. Easy to adjust angle between vial and insect pick-up straw.
Four vials (DP0036, DP0079-5) are included for insect collecting and insect storing use.
