  • Did you put poison on the sheets or something?

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

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

  • Okay, there was definitely a Myrmeleontidae (ant lion adult) in several shots. Very cool. Though, the things I like to see at light traps are much smaller than what you liked to show. Fungus gnats, caddisflies, other aquatic insects.

  • :O

  • @creativeprojects720 Cool well thats reassuring

  • @Gredysh yes you can find big moths like cecropia moths and luna moth, they are realy nice, I live in quebec and it's the same insects in ontario

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

  • the big brown moth was playing dead

  • was than an adult ant lion at 3:30
