The baffles are rigid plastic plates formed by fitting together a mother plate and daughter plates. The pins are rigid plastic strips, one end of which is tapered to form a soil-breaking cone, and the other end has a nail head structure. The adjustable large soil animal trap consists of four mother baffle plates and four daughter baffle plates paired in pairs. Each pair of baffles is connected by a dovetail tenon groove on the mother baffle plate and a dovetail mortise on the daughter baffle plate using a tenon and mortise structure. The four pairs of mother and daughter baffles are connected end to end to form a square trap. Four pins pass through the four baffle fixing joints, and the soil-breaking cones of the pins are inserted into the ground for fixation.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in specific use: when the trap collects samples of large soil animals with weak jumping ability, each pair of baffles is composed of a dovetail tenon groove of the baffle mother plate and a dovetail mortise of the baffle daughter plate connected by a tenon and mortise structure. Adjusted to the size required for the sample plot survey, the four pairs of mother and daughter baffles are connected end to end to form a square trap. Four pins pass through the four baffle joints to fix them, and the pins are inserted into the ground to fix them.
[0033] The adjustable large soil animal trap described in this embodiment has a good trapping effect, good stability in use, and high efficiency in capturing large soil animals.
