Evaluating the Influence of Different Colors on Nocturnal Insects Attraction: Behavioral and Ecological Implications

Abstract This study investigates the phototactic behavior of insects in response to different wavelengths of light, specifically red, blue, and white light. Phototaxis, the movement of organisms toward or away from light, plays a crucial role in insect navigation, foraging, mating, and migration. The experiment involved using light traps exposed to the three light colors from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM over a 15-day period to assess insect attraction. Due to the sensitivity of insect compound eyes to shorter wavelengths, nocturnal species were hypothesized to be most attracted to blue light, which resembles natural twilight and serves as a navigational cue. In contrast, red light was expected to elicit minimal attraction due to its longer wavelength, which many insects cannot detect effectively. White light, containing a broad range of wavelengths, was anticipated to produce a mixed response depending on species-specific visual sensitivity. The findings provide insight into how light wavelength influences insect phototaxis, with potential applications in ecological research and pest management strategies.
