## Part 4 - Comparing FIT Counts and Pan-Traps
- Two sampling methods: FIT counts and pan-traps
- FIT counts: timed visual observations of insects on flowers
- Pan-traps: colored bowls that passively trap insects
- We compared yearly totals and group composition between the two methods
## Part 4 - Yearly totals: FIT vs Pan-traps

## Part 4 - Group composition:FIT Counts and Pan-traps
- As we can see both methods are showing similar trends over time in total insect counts
- FIT Counts emphasise active, visible flower visitors
- The Pan-traps capture many smal or less conspicuou insecsts (e.g. small flies )
- Using both methods together gives a more complete picture ofpollinator biodiversity
