Wow - love those malaise traps - especially the ones in the open, flowery (tachinid-friendly) areas :D Perhaps you should start a new thread where people can put their photos of their Malaise traps? :D You can swap tips on how best to site them.

Interesting orientation in some of those photos - I was always taught to site them at 90-degrees to an edge or flight-line with the high end pointing towards the light but some of those photos look like they are placed in-line with the forest edge. Is it an optical illusion or do you have better success that way?
