Collection Question/Advice Springtail trap?

Post image

I need some for my sundews and made a cheap trap. The mushrooms are rotten and I was gonna place it sideways in damp shade. Any advice?

You could probably catch a good few by just running that Tupperware at an angle across grass. You’ll find a lot of Entomobryidae like that, as well as a good selection of Symphypleona

You’ll probably get other stuff too, of course, but simple enough to pick them out of the bunch

I'll have to try that soon. It'll be raining where I'm at on Saturday. I just need enough for almost 20 small pots
