About Malaise Trap

Malaise Trap

Designed to efficiently trap a wide range of flying insects. Black polyester no-see-um fabric (96 x 26 mesh / square inch) for interception area and white mesh fabric for canopy, catches minute insects, including parasitic wasps. The interception area, i.e., the central panel is 165x110cm. By placing collection tray underneath the interception area, it can be used as window trap to collect the insects/beetles which drop or fly down after hitting an obstruction. The trap is equipped with one 500ml collecting bottle with screw cap. Provided with tent pegs, guy ropes and support poles.

Efficient Field Survey Tool

The MalaiseTrap-STD is engineered for both professionals and academic researchers conducting biodiversity studies, insect monitoring, or entomological surveys. Its robust weather resistance and thoughtful design make it suitable for variable outdoor environments without compromising specimen integrity.

Quick and Straightforward Setup

With its manual assembly, the malaise trap can be installed and anchored in approximately 10 minutes. The included ground pegs, guy lines, and lightweight materials ensure stability and mobility, allowing users to reposition or transport the trap as needed with minimal effort.

Superior Insect Collection with Easy Maintenance

A fine 0.5 mm mesh netting efficiently retains a wide variety of flying insects, directing them into the clear, screw-threaded collection bottle for secure capture. All main components, including netting and collection chambers, are washable, ensuring sustained performance in long-term field operations.
