 Two weeks ago at SLCMAD, I learned how to collect their CO2 traps. I did a route called "inland sea." This route has 15 locations and combines rural and urban areas.

This is what the traps look like:


They also have a box that contains the CO2 tank and battery:


This is me dismantling a trap:


After collecting their traps, they count their mosquitoes and ID them, so I had the chance to get some practice with  mosquito IDing:
It was good to get some surveillance experience. I had fun doing the route, and even though IDing is hard for me, it was interesting.
