Zusammenfassung:A closed-canopy sampling apparatus consisting of a galvanized conduit frame and a polyethylene tree cover and ground cover was designed to encompass a mature peach tree. A pyrethrin-piperonyl butoxide aerosol was used to knock down arthropods for collection. The apparatus was relatively easy to use and the technique was efficient in sampling fauna from all surface microhabitats in the tree canopy. A total of 583 species representing 14 orders was collected.
