Abstract

Four simple traps for dendrobiontic invertebrates and two light traps that attract nonflying (wingless and larval) forms of invertebrates are described. Along with data on phenology, population dynamics, and other aspects of invertebrate biology and ecology, the new traps provide the possibility of revealing migrations of entomophages and economically dangerous species in a timely manner, thereby improving the efficiency of pest population monitoring.
