Subject
Flight of Melanophila
A question for members of the FORENT
network.
Folks, this student of entomology has
been reading about the IR sensing Melanophila acuminata and would
like to go out and catch one. So here is my question does this species
fly at night or in the daylight?
Does anyone have trap data that could
answer my question? As the insect does not need sunlight to detect
IR, I assume it would be safer for it to fly at night.
This amateur entomologist appreciates the past support he has had from
all the professionals out there!
Yours,
