Abstract

A waxed paper cage in the shape of a paper coffee creamer (tetrahedron) is easy to make, inexpensive, and ideal for collecting individual eggs or small groups of eggs from the egg-mass depositing elm spanworm. The moths and eggs can be readily observed through the translucent waxed paper.
