Abstract

Lighting technologies change the life of human beings and bring various applications in illumination and biological engineering. One case is the phototaxis research by light controlling the spread of insects. Optical methods by phototaxis of ultraviolet light have attracted much attention for capturing and killing Musca domestica. However, the development of an effective and environmentally acceptable light traps is still challenging due to the complex responses of insects to wavelength and intensity. Herein, we developed the LED light source for selectively attracting Musca domestica by investigating spectral sensitivity of their compound eyes through electroretinograms (ERG) signal and the phototactic behavior to different LEDs. The spectral sensitivity of the compound eyes showed that both female and male had a primary peak at 360 nm and a secondary peak at 520 nm. The attraction efficiency of LEDs was compared with different colors (wavelengths), which revealed that purple LED (415 nm) attracted the most of Musca domesticas and will broaden the applications of purple LED in the insect pest control.
