摘要
Based on many years of light trap catch data by the Hungarian Light Trap Network and other traps, we have examined the relationship between the emergence of the adult broods of insects and lunar phases. The summarized results of adult brood emergences were plotted against 30 phase angle divisions, our special dividing method of the lunation also used in our previous works. We have found that the emergence of the adult brood of several Macrolepidoptera and Coleoptera species is associated with a special lunar phase, most often with the Last Quarter.
