I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.

If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.

What kind of insects do you survey?

And also, what kind of surveys are we talking, cause that word has too many meanings!

Excuse me, Mrs. Wasp, on a scale of 1-10 how much do you agree with the following statements?

I put out traps baited with pheromone lures (mainly) and then go around collecting samples and checking to see if we caught what we were looking out for. Some of the samples go back to the lab and everything gets identified to make sure there is nothing new or to track how far things have moved. We are mainly looking for crop pests that are not yet known to the area.
