Repairing these components is difficult and tedious.

Many insects are phototropic and will travel upwards into the preservative-filled collecting head. The collecting bottles usually need to be emptied and replaced approximately every week or two depending on the location, insect abundance, and evaporation of the preservative (usually ethanol). A well-placed Malaise trap can collect thousands of insects. The resulting samples will consist mainly of flies (Diptera) and wasps (Hymenoptera) but many other groups like beetles (Coleoptera), moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera), and true bugs (Hemiptera) will also be collected.
