How To Light Trap Insects!

How to setup light trap for insects is pretty simple and I will show you. There are so many options when it comes to finding insects .... bugs. Consider location, and when to set up a light trap to attract and capture insects and invertebrates. Entomology involves lots of light traps and luring insects in to study and photograph them. As for the lights, there are also many different types that will attract different types of insects. My favorites are U.V. blacklights (ultraviolet), florescent lights and the best are mercury vapor lights. I use a Progeny portable power generator (battery) to plug the lights into and stay mobile and lightweight. All this and more will be covered in this video. #entomology #lighttrap #insects
