Hi, Frank Indiviglio here. Iām a herpetologist, zoologist, and book author, recently retired from a career spent at several zoos, aquariums, and museums, including over 20 years with the Bronx Zoo.
Although itās below freezing here in NY, my thoughts are straying to a favorite warm-weather activity ā collecting insects for my herp collection. Invariably, I find species that are new to me, and others that I wind up keeping alive in small terrariums. Drawing on a lifetime of collecting for my pets and the animals under my care at the Bronx Zoo, Iāve written articles on capturing, using, and breeding many invertebrates, including sap beetles, leaf litter dwellers, āmeadow planktonā, earwigs, sow bugs, grasshoppers, and many others. In this article, Iāll summarize my favorite collection techniques and traps. Links to articles containing further information are also included. As I and other herp-keepers have barely scratched the surface of this topic, please be sure to post your own thoughts and experiences below.
