Light Trapping at Chaco National Park

Insects, including many Auchenorrhyncha are attracted to bright lights at night. Left to right: Dave Marshall, Therese Catanach, Jason Cryan, Chris Dietrich (in tan hat), Tim McCabe. Therese and Chris are holding aspirators(pooters) which are simply tubes that are used to suck up insects so they fall into a jar. Tim has a variety of jars for collecting different moths.
