Extract

The successful transfer of adult insects from jars or cages to killing bottles or other cages is at best tedious and often difficult. The device illustrated in the accompanying plate was designed to facilitate this work. It has been tested in the insectary at Indian Head throughout one season with very satisfactory results. The model described and illustrated (Fig. 1) is a convenient size for use in transferring insects from small jars.
