Hi Aaron

I have no numbers, but on any pollen trapping I have done the odd leg or
wing will occur in  among the pellets.

I have no recollection of seeing a leg with an attached pellet. (Iwould have
saved it for the microscope).

My stripping screens are horizontal, perforated plastic, and the legs and
wings could have fallen from higher up in the colony.

A few varroa knocked off makes sense but I have not noticed it.

I will pay particular attention to it next time I do any trapping.
