Aquatic Sampling- Bottle traps

Aquatic Sampling- Bottle traps
West Campus Park, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
August 15, 2008
Results from 1 night of trapping from 2 small traps- not as much as I've hoped for but still decent; not pictured here (but separately) is a Dytiscus cordieri female. The giant water bugs were a surprise- these are also my first personally collected ones and I've never managed to catch these with a dipnet; I didn't expect that they were narrow enough to enter the trap! Other critters here include various medium sized to small diving beetles, corixids, and leeches (not pictured).
