Pooter is a simple equipment to catch small insects in a safe manner. It enables the person to catch small insects, which later can be kept in the terrarium and observed for their morphology, body parts and behavior. Pooter consists of two (transparent) tubes connected to a closed container. Free end of a tube (which is comparatively wider than the other) is fitted with a funnel through which the insect can be trapped and sucked into the container. The suction is created through free end of another tube. The mouth of this suction tube which is fitted in the container is covered with a fine mesh so that the insect is not dragged in it during the suction. Mostly the container and tubes are kept transparent so that movement of insect through funnel and tube towards the container can be seen and any possibility of physical harm could be minimized. With the help of pooter, the insect is slowly pulled (sucked) into the container. There remains no way for the insect to move out of the container. After a few insects are drawn into the container, they can be transferred into the terrarium for observation. After observation they can be released back conveniently into the ambient environment.
