I can't be certain predators aren't feeding in the trap, but I did run a pilot with wet vs dry traps, plus there's some previous studies showing no difference in abundance and diversity between wet vs dry

Adding some LECA (clay granules) to the trap helps everything hide from the predators - most importantly I want the predators not to eat each other! Also sampling for less than 24 hours 🙂
