Collecting methods – just like big moths!
1. Blacklighting (sheet or trap) – most species2. Pheromone trapping – diurnal species or target species3. Aerial nets – diurnal species (dusk-flyers)4. Rearing – sedentary or target species

Collecting methods
1. BlacklightingTrap – specimens can get
chowderedSheet – more selective method
Need to have a supply of small “killing jars” and a “dump jar.”Or a supply of snap-top vials; put in freezer over night.

Pinningminutens for tiny specimens.place specimen on foam (or soft wood) surface,
dorsum up.using forceps, pin specimen in middle of thorax,
perpendicular to dorsal surface.

SpreadingNo two people use exactly the same equipment or
techniques. Tiny spreading boards.Small blocks.Plastic boxes with plastozote (foam).

To prevent specimens from becoming too dry
Spread microlepidoptera first.Keep humidified in “relaxing jar.”
