Did you put poison on the sheets or something?

[bugsincyberspace]

@Alfacuria They are attracted to the ultraviolet wavelengths of light emitted by these UV and mercury vapor bulbs.

[creativeprojects720]

@Alfacuria they just hang out under the light like that. no poison is used

[Alfacuria]

The lights are blacklight bulbs (white colored BL350) and the one on the tripod is a Mercury Vapor bulb (older type street light bulbs).
