Abstract

Light pollution generated by human structures attracts insects or even modifies their behaviour, which causes many specimens to appear dead on windows, lights and in corridors. Carrying out insect sampling in private homes, within the framework of research projects, can facilitate communication between researchers and environmental authorities with the community, allowing not only very efficient sampling for taxonomic characterisation but also a clear detection of the needs for environmental education in a specific area.
