Abstract

The study deals with the connection with the atmospheric radio disturbances (SEA) and the light-trap catch of five moth species. The atmospheric radio disturbances become intensive 8 minutes after sun flares (appearance of sun protuberances). At the time of atmospheric radio disturbances, the catches of the European Corn-borer (Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn., the Microlepidoptera spec. indet. and the Setaceous Hebrew Character (Xestia c-nigrum L.) increased parallel of the values of atmospheric radio disturbances (SEA). In contrast the catches of Fall Webworm (Hyphantria cunea Drury) and the Turnip moth (Agrotis segetum Den. & Schiff.) decreased.
