A model of the flight phenology of the beet annywonn (Spodoptera exigua Hubner) was constructed using a combination of laboratory and field experimentation. The model incorporates the following relationships: 1) developmental rates of immature stages as linear functions of temperature, 2) age-dependent immature mortality rates, 3) age-dependent oviposition rates, 4) age and temperature-dependent adult mortality rates, and 5) adult flight activity as a function of temperature.The model was used to examine beet armyworm flight phenology by simulating light trap catches. An extensive black light trapping program was conducted at five locations in three climatic regions within central California to provide a total of six data sets for these tests. Results of the simulations were generally favorable. When initialized with early season light trap data, the model was able to predict the patterns subsequently observed for the locations in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys, indicating that a good understanding of beet armyworm flight phenology in these regions was incorporated. The model did not reproduce observed patterns of flights in the cool Salinas Valley, however, indicating that one or more of the relationships in the model was not valid under the conditions of this region.

“…Black light traps can be used to detect and monitor stink bugs (Chatterjee 1989; Kim & Lee 2008;Kamminga et al 2009), including H. halys, throughout the growing season (Nielsen et al 2013). However, these traps are not species specific, and capture numerous non-targets, making detection laborious (Harding et al 1966). Light intensity and wavelength can be narrowed to optimize capturing of target pests while reducing non-target captures.…”

“…data)). The flight activity was recorded by light trap collections; the traps used (Ward's model 29W6002) conformed to the norms established by Harding et al (1966) except on two points: the traps were equipped with an 8 watt black light fluorescent tube (General Electric F8T5/BL) and the four deflector panels were covered by a circular panel containing a current convertor. The insects were retained in a container filled with water and detergent.…”

The adult Trichoptera communities of a small watershed in the Québec Laurentian Hills were studied during two years with emergence and light traps. Some 180 species and more than 164500 specimens were collected, belonging mainly to the families Hydropsychidae, Polycentropodidae and Leptoceridae; the Limnephilidae with 41 species were the most diverse family. A comparison of catches in emergence and light traps revealed the importance of species from distant or specialized habitats in the composition of local communities. Two series of light trap catches show little similarity (Sanders index) although the traps were only some 60 m apart; this is in accordance with the suspected limited range of efficiency of light traps. The Shannon‐Wiener diversity index, the Simpson dominance index as well as the Lloyd and Ghelardi equitability index have been used to describe community structure; our four data series have also been shown to conform to the log‐normal frequency distribution of Preston. The sex‐ratios of the abundant species are given. In most light trap series and in half the emergence trap series, the ratio differs significantly from 50:50; there is however no overall dominance of one sex. Differences exist between the ratios obtained for the same species in the two types of traps and probably reflect sexual differences in behaviour at light.
