insect collectors

[chrisd]

Hi,

I'm thinking about buying one of electric insect collectors mentioned on earlier threads. At £133 they are not cheap and before I part with the money, could anyone who has one give me a run down regarding their experiences with it. Is it worth the money? Will it save me money in the long run ? Does it collect a decent amount of insects or do you regulary need to supplement the amount of insects with shop bought ones ? Is there anything that is just as good ?

Thanks for any information given.

That sounds a lot of money to me. I bought a "bug napper", less than half that price last year but have not had a chance to use it yet. Have a look at Swell Reptiles.

I have one of these: www.insektfanger.dk/shop/productinfo.asp?id=396

And if the prices are the same, they would be about £ 59.
