Malaise traps and yellow pan traps are the two best in Hymenoptera trapping. Malaise traps can catch 56% of morphospecies and 56% of individual abundances. Yellow pan traps can catch 27% of morphospecies and 20% of the abundance of Hymenoptera individuals. Furthermore, pitfall traps can catch 5% of morphospecies and 19% of individual abundance, and the sweep nets can catch 12% of morphospecies and 5% of individual abundance.]]>
