Drones have become valuable tools for biodiversity studies by providing aerial photographs; however, for most entomological studies, images, in particular those taken remotely, are usually insufficient; rather sampling of specimens is required. We equipped a cheap off-the-shelf drone with a net bag, flew it over the ground, sweeping the vegetation, and sampled adult and larval insects as well as spiders. 'Drone-netting' proved to be a versatile method for general insect sampling, particularly in inaccessible terrains. It is time- and cost-effective, minimally invasive, and adaptable for many research tasks in entomofaunistics; it shows a degree of representativeness similar to hand-netting, and caught specimens stay alive and can be released if not needed.
无人机通过提供航拍照片,已成为生物多样性研究的重要工具;然而,对于大多数昆虫学研究来说,图像(特别是远程拍摄的图像)通常是不够的,而需要采集标本。我们为一架廉价的现成无人机配备了一个网袋,让它在地面上空飞行,掠过植被,采集成虫和幼虫以及蜘蛛等昆虫。“无人机网捕”被证明是一种通用的昆虫采样方法,特别是在难以到达的地形。它省时、省钱、微创,并且适用于昆虫区系学的许多研究任务;它具有一定的代表性,与手网捕相似,捕获的标本如果不需要可以保持存活并被释放。
