Malaise Trap Head (UC Berkeley)

3D Printed Malaise Trap Head printed in PLA has been tested under field conditions for entomologist use in sampling insects and other field and laboratory applications. It fits into a 4" PVC coupler socket, positioned above a screen to push insects up into the trap. The trap contains a reservoir for chemical agents and can be plugged with a rubber stopper.

Users are encouraged to experiment and modify the design.
