An entomologist is visiting the Cook Islands and TIS,
along with the Natural Heritage Trust have taken the opportunity to use his
expertise to inventory insects in Atiu. The entomologist, Peter Maddison, will
be sampling insects using direct examination of plants, sampling of insects
using a sweep net, sampling special habitats, pitfall trapping for soil active
insects and other invertebrates (animals without back-bones), sampling flying
insects with an insect net, collecting at light and miscellaneous samples from
in buildings. A report will be completed by December this year.
