mutrok4040 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Well, bought a black light, setting it up to attract beetles! I'll update with whatever I catch! (beetles, maybe some cool moths) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorees Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Looking forward to seeing it! Does white fluro lights attract as much as a black one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regiarbol Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutrok4040 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 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.

yorees Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Sounds pretty successful to me, I might have to pick up a black light too at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
