Trap captures in spring and fall near different habitat types

Problem:  
Objective: Determine a possible attraction of boll weevils to large bodies of water and plants with high sugar content
Approach: Traps are set near various habitat types in the fall and the spring (spring traps are currently set up).  Collections will provide information on which habitats harbor more boll weevils over winter, and which attract more boll weevils after harvest.
