Yellow pan traps (YPTs) or Moericke traps are known for their efficiency to catch a wide variety of insects, including herbivores and predators1,2. These colour traps work on the principle that yellow colour attracts insects3. An isolated sampling event is described in this study, where sandhopper amphipods were collected in large numbers, in YPTs, originnally set for collecting insects. Amphipods under order Amphipoda of subphylum Crustacea are classified into four groups – palustral talitrids, beachfleas, sandhoppers and landhoppers4.
