Section translated to English: "Since I am particularly interested in dermestids, I also hang a small container on the railing, which I fill with sand or soil to a finger's depth. On this sand, I place some dead fish and use it as bait not only for dermestids but also for staphylinids, nitidulids, silphids, histerids, and similar species. Since dead fish isn't always readily available, I bought a whole bag of dried plaice fillets of Russian origin on eBay for just one euro, and I always pack one or two of these in my luggage. The drying process shrinks the fillets to almost the size of playing cards, making them feather-light and (supposedly) shelf-stable for years. However, they smell awful and are therefore ideally suited for baiting." |
