一系列的实地研究的有效性检查使用草叶/干细胞提取虎甲虫幼虫(鞘翅目步行虫科Cicindelinae)从他们的洞穴在不损害幼虫或洞穴——过程通常被称为钓鱼我们发现许多种类的幼虫可以有效采样速度等于或超过其他方法提取幼虫较低比例的伤害,可以评估寄生和条件可以回到自己的洞穴或这些研究的结果表明，捕捞虎甲虫幼虫可以是监测种群的有效工具，幼虫可以返回到现有的洞穴中。此外，捕捞技术允许生物体重新安置，同时消除了从稀有栖息地挖掘濒危物种或幼虫的影响
A series of field studies examined the effectiveness of using a grass blade/stem to extract tiger beetle larvae (Coleoptera Carabidae Cicindelinae) from their burrows without damaging the larva or the burrow - a procedure often called fishing We found that larvae of many species can be efficiently sampled at rates equal to or exceeding other methods Extracted larvae have a low percentage of injury and can be assessed for parasitism and condition They can be returned to either their own burrow or an altenative burrow where they can be re sampled The results of these tudies indicate that fish ing for tiger beetle larvae can be an effective tool for monitoring populations where larvae can be returned to existing burrows In addition the fishing technique allows for relocation of organisms while eliminating the impacts associated with excavating threatened species or larvae from rare habitats
