I've now completed sorting and imaging the last of 107 weekly samples from two years of #Malaise trapping in my garden in Aranda, ACT (from 21 October 2020 to 28 October 2022) - https://stangeia.hobern.net/araba-bioscan-weekly-samples/.

The first year resulted in 8838 specimens processed for DNA barcodes: https://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Public_SearchTerms?searchMenu=records&query=GMAEA

Over the two years, I imaged 2416 specimens in much higher resolution: https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations?place_id=any&q=ArabaBioscan&user_id=dhobern&verifiable=any

Running a Malaise trap is an incredible way to see just how much #biodiversity we normally miss.
