I do invasive insect surveys
Can’t you think of the insects and not be so invasive about it?
I wish!
So you barge into ants’ nests and ask them to do surveys?
I mean, they don’t have doorbells or anything so what am I supposed to do??
What kind of insects do you survey?
And also, what kind of surveys are we talking, cause that word has too many meanings!
Excuse me, Mrs. Wasp, on a scale of 1-10 how much do you agree with the following statements?
I put out traps baited with pheromone lures (mainly) and then go around collecting samples and checking to see if we caught what we were looking out for. Some of the samples go back to the lab and everything gets identified to make sure there is nothing new or to track how far things have moved. We are mainly looking for crop pests that are not yet known to the area.
