Sedgwick Reserve

21 May, 08 AM - 26 May, 05 AM

Every year, the Essig Museum of Entomology sponsors a spring field to a site somewhere in California. The goal is to help increase the holdings of the Essig Museum and to provide researchers an opportunity to collect specimens for their projects, and entomology students to gain field experience. These trips are primarily for UC faculty, staff and students, although other qualifed persons accompany us as well. We use a variety of techniques to collect arthropods, which may be generally considered "non-destructive", including black-lighting (collecting insects that come to lights at night), malaise trapping (a tent-like net which captures day-flying insects), sweeping/beating vegetation, and hand-collecting. Specimens are usually prepared once we return to the museum, and identifed to whatever level is possible (order/family/genus/species) depending upon the group. Most specimens are then deposited in the museum, and those identified to species are entered into a database.
