Hornet Vespa velutina selective capture by air entrainmen

Abstract

In a previous report, [1], the possibility for selective capture of Vespa velutina by the use of an air cannon was discussed. In this second report, we address the alternative possibility for selective capture of Vespa velutina by tackling the problem on the opposite side, i.e., by inducing aerodynamic entrainment -region of low pressure, and then sucking out the insect.
