Abstract
3D templates of a long-term storable bottom collector for window or pitfall traps. The collection medium in a LEE trap barely evaporates and does not dilute because water is excluded, maximizing DNA preservation. Based on field-collected specimens and lab experiments, we confirm that the LEE significantly outperforms conventional traps in terms of DNA quality.
