Abstract
We designed a flight-interception trap to assess arthropod abundance and bi omass as part of a ruffed grouse study. Traps were constructed of acrylic p lexi-glass, relatively inexpensive, and durable. Our design was simple and efficacious in sampling airborne insects and some terrestrials. We captured multiple orders, with several families within most orders.
