ABSTRACT
The studies were conducted in an urban greenery area of Poznań, Poland to compare the effectiveness of Moericke colour
traps and light traps used to catch aphids. The combined methods yielded 61 aphid species from the area. The light trap caught
51 species, while 44 species were caught using the Moericke trap. Over 4,000 specimens were collected with each method separately.
