While taking the main route of the Sands (Night), you can spot a partially hidden Trapinch beside a rock at the oasis. Toss a Fluffruit at the Trapinch to make it jump out of the ground and take a photo of it while it is in the air. It is recommended to use Burst Mode to take the best photo of the jumping Trapinch.

Near the large holes in the final area of the Sands (Day) at Research Level 3, you can find a Scorbunny running around. Toss an Illumina Orb at the Scorbunny to make it dig up a hidden Trapinch. It is best to wait until Scorbunny is close to the path before tossing the orb so that it will also dig close to the player. Take a photo of the Trapinch as it stands on its hind left after being dug up.

Thought I'd share because I couldn't find it on here: the last Trapinch on the map is found in the last crater on the left by repeatedly throwing apples into the centre, he will crawl out the right side.
