Aware of the importance that insects have, as well as their influence, both in ecosystems and human activities, the group has always received prominence in several areas of knowledge. In order to enjoy this immense diversity, the first step is to recognize and classify them. For this, a light trap model was elaborated, using three different lights (black, cold white and warm white). The pitfall-style trap, which in addition to the lights contained a container with alcohol and detergent, was properly assembled. Insects were collected, analyzed and identified. These processes allowed analyzing the efficiency of the trap with different lamps in the capture of insects, as well as the Orders to which they belong. In the end, it was observed that the Order of highest index in the analysis was Homoptera, and that the trap whose light source was black light was the most efficient in quantitative capture, with a total of 497 insects, followed by warm cold white light, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
