Abstract

A vehicle-mounted net (“car-net”) is a useful tool to sample flying beetles or other insects. Previous authors have used nets on top of the vehicle. A net mounted lower and in front of the vehicle is thought to be superior for catching beetles which fly closer to ground level. Quantified results are given.

Résumé

Un filet monté sur un véhicule est un outil très utile pour échantillonner des coléoptères ou d’autres insectes au vol. Des auteurs ont déjà utilisé des filets montés sur le dessus d’un véhicule, mais un filet installé plus bas et en avant du véhicule semble plus approprié à la capture de coléoptères qui volent plus près du sol. Des résultats quantitatifs sont présentés.
