Description

The responses of insects to an adhesive UV light trap placed in a bathroom have been evaluated. In 2004, the reported rate of trap catches within an hour/total number of invaeing insects varied from species (group) to species (group), and ranged from 0 to 100%. Similar experiments reconfirmed the species (group) specificity of the response rates by increasing the total number of insects in each species (group). White flies, Chalcidoidea wasps, and dark-winged fungus gnats, which exhibited 0% responses in the previous report, had moderate to high responses with a greater total numbers of insects. The lowest response rates from the previous report for large moth flies and Culex mosquitoes did not change with increased numbers. The highest rates were found in flies such as Sphaeroceridae, Ceratopogonidae, and scuttle flies, and in small rove beetles, leaf-hoppers, and white flies, followed by anthocorid bugs, Chalcidoidea wasps, small moth flies, dark-winged fungus gnats, small chironomid midges, gall midges, Braconidae wasps, and small field moths. The rates ranged from zero to very low in larger moth flies such as Clogmia albipunctata and Tinearia alternata, one chironomid midge (Chironomus yoshimatsui), Culex mosquitoes, and crane flies.
