Black light!

[mutrok4040]

Well, bought a black light, setting it up to attract beetles! I'll update with whatever I catch! (beetles, maybe some cool moths)

Looking forward to seeing it! Does white fluro lights attract as much as a black one?

Good luck in your blacklighting!

Does white fluro lights attract as much as a black one?

From my experience, no they don't. Generally, insects are attracted more to lights that emit ultraviolet waves.

There were so many moths that if you shook yourself I sounded like rain was falling! Anyways I caught lots of some Strategus sp. But that was the only big beetle besides a 2+ inch click beetle. I hope I get stags! Are Dynastes sp. attracted to lights? We have tityus down here.

Sounds pretty successful to me, I might have to pick up a black light too at some point.
