Abstract
A Study was conducted to determine the efficacy of 2 different insect
trapping methods( Pitfall tarps, Tullgren extraction method) for measuring the
insect diversity. The abundance of insects was compared using pitfall trapping
and Tullgren extraction methods. Among these two trapping methods the Pitfall
trapping method shows a higher efficacy to capturing a large number of insects,
whereas the Tullgren extraction method were beneficial for capturing ground
dwelling insects belonging to the order Hymenoptera , isoptera , dipluraetc. A
high number of Lepidoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera and Thysanoptera occurred in
pitfall trapping methods.
