“…When studying beetles in the southwest of Primorsky Krai, all available methods of collecting were used: manual collection, collection with an exhauster, installation of soil traps, shaking off the crowns of trees and shrubs, catching by electric lamps, night collection with a flashlight, “trampling” of vegetation in wet and swampy biotopes, pouring water in near-water areas, sifting the litter with an entomological sieve, “mowing” the grass with an entomological net and catching with window traps ( Chapman and Kinghorn 1955 , Hardwick 1968 , Stewart and Lam 1968 , Gillies 1969 , Vanhercke et al 1981 , Kryzhanovskij 1983 , Schauff 1986 , Spence and Niemelä 1994 , Dunaev 1997 , Yahiro and Yano 1997 , Skvarla et al 2014 ).…”

The article is based on the results of the authors' field studies on the fauna of Coleoptera in the southwest of Primorsky Krai, conducted in 1990, 1999, 2015 and 2017–2022. The collection of material was carried out in more than 150 geographical points in the territories of the Khasansky, Nadezhdensky and Ussuriysky raion of the Primorsky Krai of Russia. In addition, small collections materials stored at the Federal Scientific Center of East Asia Terrestrial Biodiversity FEB RAS (Vladivostok, Russia) and Moscow Pedagogical State University (Moscow, Russia) were studied. This is the first generalised list of beetles for south-western Primorye and protected natural areas. A total of 13274 beetles belonging to 629 species from 311 genera and 44 families were studied. In addition to our own collections, the sample includes literature data on 10008 specimens belonging to 355 species from 142 genera and 16 families. This is the first dataset that provides data on the taxonomic composition and geographic distribution with precise coordinates for 47 families of Coleoptera in the southwest of Primorsky Krai, Russia.

“…The attraction/retention of adults in LTs often increase with trap size, i.e., the surface of the light source and volume of receptacles where trapped moths are collected [9,31,33,36,43,51,72,73]. Recent trends toward the miniaturization of LTs may thus impede the development of LT mt because small light sources attract relatively few adults and small receptacles rapidly saturate.…”

“…Overall, nine studies investigated the effects of h i on LT mt (six before 1980 and three after) (Table 2). In theory, traps should be deployed at a height that maximizes n p [10,11,15,51]. In practice, however, the magnitude and directionality of height effects are difficult to generalize as they often vary with the plant growth stage [20,23,31,44].…”

Mass Trapping Lepidopteran Pests with Light Traps, with Focus on Tortricid Forest Pests: What If?

The management of Lepidopteran pests with light traps (LTs) is often achieved by luring adults to death at light sources (light trap-based mass trapping, or LTmt). Large-scale LTmt programs against agricultural pests initiated in the late 1920s in the United States were phased out in the 1970s, coinciding with the rise of pheromone-based management research. The interest in LTmt has surged in recent years with the advent of light emitting diodes, solar power sources, and intelligent design. The first step in implementing LTmt is to identify a trapping design that maximizes the capture of target pests and minimizes the capture of non-target beneficial insects—with a cautionary note that high captures in LTs are not equivalent to the feasibility of mass trapping: the ultimate objective of LTmt is to protect crop plants from pest damage, not to trap adults. The captures of egg-carrying females in light traps have a greater impact on the efficiency of LTmt than the captures of males. When LTmt is defined as a harvesting procedure, the biomass of females in LTs may be viewed as the best estimator of the mass trapping yield; biomass proxy has universal application in LTmt as every living organism can be defined on a per weight basis. While research has largely focused on agricultural pests, an attempt is made here to conceptualize LTmt as a pest management strategy in forest ecosystems, using spruce budworm as a case study. The mass trapping of female budworms is impossible to achieve in endemic populations due to the large spatial scale of forest landscapes (implying the deployment of a prohibitively large number of LTs); in addition, ovipositing female budworms do not respond to light sources at a low density of conspecifics. The light-based mass trapping of female budworms may provide a realistic management option for geographically isolated forest stands heavily infested with budworms, as a tool to prevent tree mortality. Somehow unexpectedly, however, one factor obscuring the feasibility of LTmt is as follows: the complex (‘unknowable’) economic valuation of forest stands as opposed to agricultural landscapes.

“…If moths were collected many meters above the insect boundary layer, the hypothesis was that the insects were in a migratory stage. Use was made of blacklight lamps set at various heights above the ground on a telephone pole and a firelookout tower (Stewart and Lam 1968). Of note, the catch of armjrworm generally increased with the height of the trap.…”
