Black Light Trap Data | Agroecosystems Entomology Lab

West Central Research & Extension Center- North Platte, Nebraska Location

Our lab participates in a trapping network to provide timely information about crop pest populations for our stakeholders. We typically run our trap from mid-May through September every year. We try to process the light trap and post new information five days a week (Monday-Friday); however, when our samples reach high numbers and other field work keeps us busy, we may get a little behind. We will try our best to keep things updated, but we appreciate your patience.
