This ichneumonoid wasp is the test subject for my use of the bugalien bug catcher. It's a clear plastic pac man that you clomp over the insect or spider you want to catch. So far it's only worked for me for relatively large and slow bugs.

I like that it allows you to catch and release beneficial insects like this one without harming them. Although you could easily mishandle the clomper and maim a bug in the attempt to catch.

Here's a gadget that I don't need but sorely want!  It's for measuring the diameter of trees, useful for determining whether a tree can be rightfully called a champion or heritage tree.  How often would I use it?  At least once, I suppose.
