Insect Collection is one of many important and fundamental practice in the Biology research. By collecting insects, we get to know more about the population, habitat and the ecology of species, which serve as basic data and further research material. There are two ways of collecting, one is called ‘installed collecting’and the other is ‘noninstalled collecting’. Normally, we define ‘installed collecting’as a insect collecting method with specific purpose, planability ; Operated within longterm, specific places and seasons. Using insects’ innate characteristic such as, habitat preference, tendency toward color, smell, humidity, food, pheromone and light to set up traps for random or specific species of insects.

In this practice, I choose the trap method among the installed collecting, combining the induction device as my research approach to investigate the habitat preference and population of the Chironomidae(non-biting midges). Biology researches have a lot to do with understanding the relation between human and other species. Therefore, we decided to collect Chironomidae by motorcycling; Using lab personnel’s mouth as a trap, with a oral flare device attached on it. The device allows us to maintain the size of the trap while collecting process and the lighting devices help us to lure our target toward us.
