Why do moths put out the fire? How to make use of the nature of fire fighting?

The idiom of moths to the fire is familiar to almost everyone. Moths will be burned to death when they are caught in the fire, so why do they bother to jump on them? Let's take a look at why moths put out the fire.

First, why do moths put out the fire?

Most moths like to move at night, and moths use light to determine their direction at night. After the experiments and discoveries of scientists, moths fly at night mainly rely on moonlight to determine the direction. The moth's eyes are compound eyes made up of many monocular eyes, and moonlight is always projected into its eyes from one direction when flying. When the moth loses its way, the moonlight will be projected from the original angle by turning its body, allowing the moth to find its way.

But when there are lights, bright lights will also be projected into the eyes of moths, mistaking them for the moon. In this case, when the moth rotates, it will find that the angle of the light has changed, so it will keep circling around the light.

Second, how to make use of the nature of fire fighting?

Moths to the fire is an inextricable nature, in view of this nature, moths can be trapped and killed. Such trapping and killing methods are very environmentally friendly and can reduce the use of pesticides. When using lights to trap and kill pests, you need to pay attention to these:

1. Different insects have different requirements for light color and luminosity, so different light should be chosen according to the pests trapped and killed.

two。 Using lights to trap and kill pests is easy to be affected by the weather, usually in muggy, windless, rainless and moonless nights.

3. Using light to trap and kill pests is only effective for strong phototaxis, otherwise the effect is not good.

4. The lighting location should be on the side of the road or by the side of the field where it does not affect agricultural activities and is convenient for management and maintenance. Should not be located in the warehouse or near the dormitory. The use of light to trap and kill pests should be carried out in a large area in order to achieve results.

If vegetable growers and fruit growers encounter some pests, they can appropriately use the phototaxis of moths to kill, reduce the use of pesticides, and make fruits and vegetables safer and more secure. Moths to the fire is nature, can be used to safely kill pests.
