How to Collect Insects with a Wet Shovel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2018
- In this episode of the insect hunter I show viewers how to use a wet shovel to collect small insects in plant material. Though this method is not the most technical it can still help a pest manager, hobby collector or farmer learn about the types of insects that are in a variety of plants. For alfalfa farmers in Idaho they may find it useful to help them detect the presence of thrips.

Hey i have a question i found a furry caterpillar and put it in a jar and the next day i noticed a little fur ball with the fur of the caterpillar then the day after there was another caterpillar fully grown exactly the same but i cant find anything online about caterpillars multiplying have any idea?
I have no clue I have never heard of such a thing Taylor. Did you take a picture of the caterpillar to learn more about it? Maybe if you send me a picture (theinsecthunter@gmail.com) then I can at least help you figure out what it was. What plant was it feeding on?
@@InsectHunter i havent either thats what confused me and its just been eating lettuce and its black with some orange and white spots going down its back and kind of furry
But ill send you a email soon with the picture just need to get my computer to work
I put my net in the branches where the leaves are and shaked the branch and the results were 1 spider some firefly and 2 Thorn bugs
Awesome! I really miss fireflies. We don’t really have them here in Idaho.
Insect Hunter someone said fireflies were endangered
Is it true?
I haven't heard that before.
Insect Hunter I remember asking you to make a video about caterpillars or fireflies.And you never did,Now it make sense now
