    Abstract: A crawling insect pitfall trap configured be placed on a surface can include a plurality of connected walls and a fibrous layer. The plurality of connected walls can be configured to rest on the surface and can each be sloped to form a pitfall cavity and to form a top edge at an opening of the pitfall cavity. The plurality of connected walls can each include an outer surface that is smooth. The sloped and smooth surfaces can be configured to dissuade climbing by a crawling insect. The fibrous layer can be applied to at least a portion of an outer surface of at least one wall of the plurality of connected walls, and can extend from about where the at least one wall rests on the surface to the top edge of the at least one wall. The fibrous layer can promote climbing by the crawling insect.
