The different lighting treatments used in Experiment 2 in Kaituna Valley. Traps at the top of the poles were sticky and caught insects that were attracted to the lights. A dark control pole (unlit) is just out of shot. These poles were installed specifically for the experiment. Photo: Michelle Greenwood, NIWA.
