I am interested in collecting adult wood-boring beetles (Buprestidae) in deciduous cropping systems. The purple prism or panel traps have been effective for monitoring emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) as well as other buprestids. However, other traps have been successful: Lindgren (green and purple), intercept trap, stove pipe, and cross vane traps. 

Which trap would be most effective for capturing the most buprestid species (species richness)?  Thanks
