Follow up to my question, yesterday. Steve From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeff Bradshaw Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 5:45 PM To: Steve Young Subject: Re: FW: Cameras for monitoring insects
I have brainstormed about such a thing myself for my blacklight cages. However, there is nothing that has been specifically developed for insects. There are probably some cameras out there of various sizes (like a trail camera) and they might work for some of the larger moths; however, it would take some experimentation. It would be easy enough to figure out. On a warm night during New Moon set up a blacklight and place a trail camera and a continuously running camera side-by-side. Turn them on at the same time and the them run for as long as the continuous camera will allow. Then scroll through the film at the times when the trail cam went off (if it does) and try to see what triggered it. -- Jeff On Thu, May 2, 2013 at 4:13 PM, Steve Young <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Any ideas?

Are there cameras available with enough sensitivity to pick up their movements even during the night without actually attracting them? Would something like a trail camera work? If you know, could you send me the information? Thanks, Steve ........................................... Stephen L.
