Cullaloe Hills tub trap update

3rd Mar update -
        Spelobia clunipes - fish-baited trap (02.iii)

The tub, which has been in place for just over a month, has added one more heleomyzid. The bottle trap, where the bait has dried a bit, has produced nothing more, but the weather has been abysmal - either very cold or very windy with rain & snow.

Shortly I'll reset this with fresh bait, though with new things coming in maybe that's a mistake. I'd like to make some modifications though, with a wire mesh to prevent fouling of specimens (and egg laying).
