1. Influence of different types of lamps on flying insects Team leader: Zrinka Mesić Members: Marija Ivković, Ivan Jurić, Nikolina Ričko

2. Influence of light on insects Spectral influence on insects –they see different then humans It has an influence on their behavior (breading, feeding, there are becoming easy prey) Chart which compares the sight of humans and insects InsectHuman

3. Method for catching insects Catching on different lamps, on sheets Problems: wind, influence of other lamps, collecting insects in bottles, moon, predators

4. Field work Working in Višnjan and Tićan In Višnjan we only tried the metods In Tićan we worked with three lamps: –Mercury lamp –Sodium high pressure lamp –Tungsten lamp

5. Conservating... Small insects were put in alcohol Moths were put on special plates

6. ... And determinating We determinated part of mothsc and other orders of insects Lymantria disparTimandra griseata

7. Some more pretty insects We also caught... Culex pipiens Scopula rubiginata Emmelia trabealis

8. Problems with metods we used Predators: bats Insects were flying away, we couldnt collect them all, especially some species We need new metods of collecting Problems with determination of insects

9. Statistical data

13. Conclusion Our observation showed that mercury lamp attracts insects the most. Whether tungstan or sodium high pressure lamp attracts them more is not evident. The reason for this is lack of observations partialy caused by strong wind and rain.
