The Canopy Flight Interception Trap is designed for collecting flying insects in forest canopies, woodland environments and ecological research sites. It uses a transparent vertical interception panel to intercept flying insects and guide them through a conical funnel into a detachable collection container.
Its lightweight construction and suspended installation make it suitable for entomological surveys, insect biodiversity monitoring and ecological studies.
