Abstract

  The paper deals with light trapping of insects during hurricanes. The light-trap is located in Lenoir County, North Carolina, in the United States of America. The geographical coordinates are 35°54′50″N and 81°32′20″W, elevation is 1,171 ft. (357m). We found that on the night of hurricane the catch is zero, or very low, but during the next night, the catch is again high. The same species were caught in the light-traps after the hurricane retreat as in the days before the hurricanes

Keywords:Hurricanes; Insects; Light-Trap
