The ALA occurrence record gives Black Mountain as the Locality (i.e. place where the specimen was collected, as opposed to the place where it was subsequently lodged), and 'yellow tray trap' under Occurrence remarks. These traps are simply a shallow tray (white or sometimes coloured) filled with water and a small amount of detergent to break the surface tension. Insects may fall into it, or be attracted to it, and be trapped. They can be productive for small, delicate aerial insects such as aphids and micro-wasps.
