Infrared lighting does not suppress catch of codling moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in pheromone-baited monitoring traps
The Great Lakes Entomologist 48 (3-4), 168-171
Abstract: Video cameras are increasingly being used to record insect behaviors in the field over prolonged intervals. A nagging question about crepuscular and nocturnal recordings is whether or not infrared light emitted by such cameras to illuminate the scene influences the behaviors of the subjects or study outcomes. Here we quantified catches of male codling moths, Cydia pomonella (L.), responding to sex pheromone-baited monitoring traps illuminated with infrared, red, white, or no light. No statistically significant differences were found between any of these treatments.
