Aquatic Invertebrate Trap

Assembly

Collection Bottles
I find it easiest to put my hand into the funnel, one finger through the hole. Next put the rim of the main bottle in two of the slots and cam or pivot the other two slots into place.

Bottle Holder
The bottle holder should be placed more towards the bottom of the main body of the bottle, the holder tends to collapse the bottle if too far forward. If the plastic screws are tightened correctly the holder will hold the bottle horizontal, or vertical.

Clamp
A gentle squeeze on the ends will allow the clamp to be easily moved up and down on the stake.

Stake
This stake is fiberglass and is not affected by water like wood. The stake is warrantied against fraying/slivering for 25 years.

Sieve
Sized to remove the water and carry the contents of the bottle traps. Use the plastic caps, or some critters will leave. The bottle bodies will fit inside the plastic caps and can be used for small terrariums or whatever.
