Assessing the efficiency of UV LEDs as light sources for sampling the diversity of macro-moths (Lepidoptera)

Light trapping is the most widely used tool for determining the diversity of nocturnal Lepidoptera, but UV LEDs have yet to be used as light sources for the large-scale monitoring of Lepidoptera. We assessed the efficiency of this novel light source for sampling moths using a Heath type moth equippe...
