I heard the trap go off about 4am, but nothing seemed to have been caught. Examined it this morning and found it had been set off by a large slug. Possibly this one seen in an earlier observation at the same location /observations/69683403

I was trying to figure out the logic of the grouping of some trap types ("Cage Trap DOC 150") etc, and finally twigged that it is simply an alphabetical list with some punctuation missing, and you meant to put a "|" between each!

Posted by tony_wills over 8 years ago

Oops. Thanks. All should be fixed now.

Posted by jon_sullivan over 8 years ago

Thanks :-)

Posted by tony_wills over 8 years ago

I was trying to check whether the A12 goodnature possum trap should be on this list, but couldn't work out what the reference list for this field is.

Posted by tony_wills over 7 years ago

It probably should. This was from a draft standard circulated amongst some NZ trap data people about a year ago. I'll need to check whether it got finalised. Regardless, that sounds like a helpful addition.

Posted by jon_sullivan over 7 years ago

Done.

Posted by tony_wills over 7 years ago

Excellent.

Posted by jon_sullivan over 7 years ago

@jon_sullivan: Did that list ever get finalised, I'm wondering whether we can add "Kness" as a trap type.

Posted by tony_wills over 6 years ago

Added. :-)

Posted by jon_sullivan over 6 years ago

Thanks. I've moved "Other (specify in Other Trap Type)" to first in the list, so that we don't end up with a default of "A12" when people just save without making changes when adding to projects.

Posted by tony_wills over 6 years ago

I was trying to use "other" for two purposes, perhaps we should just add 'unspecified' as the first in the list, and put 'other' at the bottom where it logically belongs.

There are also lots of trap types here that we have no observations for - perhaps to make the list slightly easier to use we could divide the list into two alphabetical sections, the first with commonly used traps (eg A24, DOC 200, Kness, Timms, Victor) and then the rest.

Posted by tony_wills over 6 years ago

I've just merge the duplicate field "Trap type" into "Trap Types", this might result in some observations having two "Trap Types" entries, if you find such, let me know.

Posted by tony_wills over 5 years ago

I have re-ordered the list and put the common ones at the top, added 'unspecified' as the default, and used 'Other' as a separator between the lists. I can always change it back if this causes a problem.
