Survey and detection of the spotted lanternfly, (White), rely either on traps that exploit the insect's behavior as it navigates its environment, or on visual surveys of either its mobile life stages or egg masses. A recently described egg mass trap, coined the "lampshade" trap, can assist with early detection in newly infested areas, provide egg masses for researchers, and potentially facilitate spotted lanternfly population reduction by removal of egg masses from the environment. Here, we describe a modified lampshade trap, the sconce trap, that uses less material, can be pre-cut prior to deployment, and can be deployed by one person, representing potential cost, labor, and time savings. Both traps were comparable at detecting populations of spotted lanternflies, and while females deposited more eggs on the larger lampshade traps, they deposited more eggs on sconce traps as a function of trap area.
对斑衣蜡蝉（White）的调查和检测，要么依靠利用昆虫在环境中活动时行为的诱捕器，要么依靠对其移动生活阶段或卵块的目视调查。一种最近描述的卵块诱捕器，即“灯罩”诱捕器，可以帮助在新受侵染地区进行早期检测，为研究人员提供卵块，并有可能通过从环境中清除卵块来促进斑衣蜡蝉种群数量的减少。在这里，我们描述了一种改良的灯罩诱捕器，即壁灯诱捕器，它使用的材料更少，可以在部署前预先切割，并且可以由一个人部署，这意味着潜在的成本、劳动力和时间节省。两种诱捕器在检测斑衣蜡蝉种群方面具有可比性，虽然雌性在较大的灯罩诱捕器上产的卵更多，但它们在壁灯诱捕器上产的卵量与诱捕器面积成正比。
