Remote monitoring of beetles (Lindgren or multi-funnel trap)

Pine Beetle Lindgren Trap is a form of a funnel trap. Lindgren pheromone traps are widely used to attract the pine beetle Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

They are used either as monitoring traps or for mass trapping to reduce the populations of pine beetles in conjunction with pheromones.

They come with different numbers of funnels that form a tree-mimicking silhouette.

The optoelectronic counter of insects is the white torus on the left. It transmits counts and the associated time stamps to the Insectronics server. It is compact, weatherproof and fits to the Lindgren trap without any need to modify the trap.
