The literature and web info led me to believe that ladybugs would be
attracted to black light (UV). I tried black light bulbs in a twin 40
watt shop light with disappointing results. Although a few ladybugs did
land on the black lights, many more landed on the regular white
flourescent shop lite fixtures and most landed on glass windows in
sunlight or the walls above.
Am I using the wrong kind of black light, is there a special kind that
is used to attract bugs at night? I have no objection to the light
output of a flourescent at night, I don't require darkness, but why are
the commercial units for restaurants etc sold with black lights when
they are normally used in lighted areas?
Any info on attracting ladybugs with light is appreciated.
