Exhusters = Aspirators

I use a purchased one: http://www.insectnet.eu/details.php?id_prod=213
And replacement test tubes for it: http://www.insectnet.eu/details.php?id_prod=221

Denis, why do you need divisions there?

DIY - Do It Youself

sorry for the long-unwashed device...
probably, it's easier, safer and cheaper than anywhere else: we take a smaller plastic bottle (this one is from under acetone, not the point), I burn two holes with a fragment of a long laboratory pipette, a meter-long silicone tube from the construction market is barely squeezed into them. the mesh on the tube inside is fixed with a ring made of the same tube. Be sure to stuff the tool.paper - so that they do not trample and do not gnaw each other , and do not fog up-do not get wet overworked. The diameter of the tube is sufficient to allow even large insects to fly in with a whoosh. And chalcides, for example, with a characteristic click knock on the paper and I know by ear-taken.


The neck of the square bottles is just included in the wide 50ml test tubes, where I pour (again, in the toilet paper stuck with my finger) without loss of the starved, however, each time I pull out a piece of paper from the exhumation and shake off the remaining ones on the net. You can even carry flies in a test tube all day - the main thing is that they don't sweat (paper and I pour it loose), and they don't dry out (hermetically sealed).

and, for convenience, I attached a strap in the field - I use it to loop the exhauster onto a strap, around my neck or around my belt - caught it, blew it in,and threw it - my hands are free. YES, it is important-not visible - tube plugs on a string-very often some insects can get out of the exhausterand usually very valuable. So the gesture of plugging is automatic))

By the way, if there is no ethyl acetate,then tender (rather mostly flies) will die from a couple of tobacco puffs. That's probably why the device turned brown, because it did this to them a couple of times. And if all the time-gets very dirty.
Tweezers, drool on your fingers - no need.

And well, as in the field "for three" will have to pour exactly??!!!

Probably, in fact, these test tubes were not originally designed for exhausters, but simply for taking samples.

They look like centrifuge machines.
And I have such a question (stupid, probably ) - your insects don't try to get out of the exhaust tank, or you're right after each one.. hmm, the act of capture (nah, what do you call it?) shake them out in the stain/change the case of the device?
And then I'm not a real welder after practicing at uni, I didn't have anything close to insects, and then I had to pick up small things like mushroom mosquitoes and other diptera on flowers. So one fly, drawn into the exhauser, shook itself off and confidently went to the entrance tube. I barely had time to plug the hole with my finger. No, the tube wasn't wide - the fly was having a hard time getting through...

Vorona, although the question is for Dan... ) - they try to get out, and some people find a way out - the more crowded-the faster... so I plug it with a twig on a string. A sufficient amount is collected in the exhausteror if it is necessary to separate it in different stations-then I zamarivayu (Weasel wick). or shortly before the house (the question is whether the insects that damage each other - wasps,horsemen,barbels,softlings - or not), so that they don't wallow dead in it all the way...

No, this is an answer about test tubes to Dan, and a question for everyone who is not too lazy to answer
Can I tell you more about the wick? It is inconvenient to shake in the stain. I, of course, have some experience with drosophila and staining, but it's different there...

this is a piece of paper, like on the left, to stick through a tube,
and not necessarily too many 3-5 drops on my big balloon-there is a lot of water in the caresses, it can sweat, where you leave it in the sun-for sure. Therefore, inside the paper is mandatory. Bugs I know can be permanently otsavlyat, even at night, but it would still be better to shift, and some wash)) and they are dried on toilet paper. And in principle, you can collect both pubescent and microseconds with an exhauster - the most convenient way, sobsno.
Komarov in the tent before going to bed - "already the fur coat is wrapped up" (c)

but the bottle - it was invented so as not to spill a lot of ethyl acetate. Full-enough for the whole day, even in the hottest places! And this plastic one is one of the most sealed, so long as there is no sand. in short, it is better to make a thick foam, plug it with a circle over the filled ethyl acetate, and then immerse it-squeeze out something-how much liquid you need to splash into the stain.. it doesn't accidentally spill much if it falls. A wick, how much for the moment absorbed-usually enough for the herd.

Exhausterthen I blow a little, it's better to leave it open in the evening, and it doesn't smell terrible, like ethyl acetate and isn't particularly harmful ?
--
About "equipment" more,) With tenacious,dangerous centipedes, large butterfly beetles in general, ammonia is indispensable. I also take it in a signed test tube, and not the balloon in the photo-it will probably last for a month in the tropics. Signed - if the jars do not differ (!), but in general it is better in these times to sign devils in bubbles, or re-glue the factory label under the tape.to prove something less. Insects and arachnids also have enough ammonia for microdrops if they get into the nerve node through the mouth or pygidium. From amm.dragonflies will quickly lose their color if you overdo it-they are probably straight-winged and green.

The box is light, for folding between layers of paper, you can use cotton wool, or in bags. Easy and convenient. Flat)
Here, the glasses are still up to the margins.

ishko oba-rudovaniya

now it is easier to guess that there is nothing superfluous here, for different fishing methods.

tweezers-better on a string, even bright.. Because if you go to the steppe, you can not return to it, lose time, or something else.. And in the tent, when parsing, I personally have out of the blue after every second action, individual objects disappear.. And so - not very))

I will pay attention to the net, the test tube - for catching traps, and inside it-a small test tube with fairies-there are enough liters for 10-15, and this is time-consuming. I will note how little fae is needed, and it is better so - for less harm to the soil and water, in the end, and because it accelerates rotting in traps. ~1ml-for 5 liters. more alcohol is forgotten for the catch)

but for the transportation of ethyl acetate, you can even use it in a factory perfume bottle, but there are risks-sometimes the neck is chemically warped,there are spills..and so on, in short, legal perfume nails to clean-but picked up the container from under the shampoos-in it, cut off, the cylinder with affection is perfect, will not crumple.

I will intervene a little, maybe it will be useful to someone who, As a fan of pepper sauce, discovered a wonderful thing here: sauce bubbles Tabasco excellent hold ethyl acetate vapors and it is stored in them without loss for about a year. Very convenient (though glass). I recommend it just in case.

I plug the "entrance hole" with a piece of cotton wool. A dense piece of cotton wool does not give a single chance to get out. And when it is necessary to zaeksgausterit someone-I hold the cotton wool with my finger at the test tube-as taught in practice in microbiology
