Life forms: orchid bees

Sites: 6

Sampling methods: line transect,baited,other traps

Sample size: 160 individuals

Years: 1977

Seasons: dry

Nets or traps: 5

Sampling comments: "Cineole, eugenol, methyl cinnamate, benzyl acetate, and methyl salicylate were selected as the baits... 16-cm2 squares of heavy blotter paper were soaked in a compound and each square placed individually in a small plastic bag that was then knotted shut. At the census site, each of the five bags was pinned to a different tree trunk in shade - 1.5 m above the ground. The five trees were chosen so as to be about eight to 15 paces apart and arranged in a roughly straight line or shallow arc"
