Make a Berlese Funnel . You take leaf litter and capture insects to sort. Here is a version using 2-liter bottles and a gooseneck lamp. The lamp draws out bugs which drop into the alcohol in the base. Here and here are bug guide to help identify the insects and soil macroinvertebrates. I haven’t made a Berlese funnel since I was an undergrad. However, two of my Bio kids are naturalists. I think they’ll like this lab. Whenever we study insects, I’ll post pix.
