Influences of light on insect behavior and development
Light affects insect behavior and development in a variety
of ways that can be divided into several categories (Fig. 2).
One of the most typical responses to light is phototaxis
(Jander 1963). Insects exhibit the following phototactic
behaviors: (A) attraction (i.e., positive phototaxis, moving
toward a light source) (Fig. 2a); this response can be used
to trap pests, but the effective wavelengths and intensities
vary among species (Coombe 1981; Hardie 1989; Ki-
noshita and Arikawa 2000; Menzel and Greggers 1985;
Yang et al. 2003) and (B) repulsion (i.e., negative photo-
taxis, moving away from light) (Fig. 2b); this can be used
to prevent pests from entering a cultivation area by pre-
senting light at wavelengths and intensities that repel them
(Jander 1963; Kim et al. 2013; Reisenman et al. 1998).
There are a wide range of responses to light beyond
phototaxis. (C) Light adaptation is when nocturnal insect
species become light-adapted within several minutes of
exposure to light (Day 1941; Post and Goldsmith 1965;
Walcott 1969) and exhibit typical daytime behaviors such
as cessation of movement and settling down (Fig. 2c).
Behaviors such as flight and mating are inhibited in noc-
turnal insects that are exposed to bright light at night.
(D) Circadian rhythms are daily behavioral rhythms
including flight, locomotion, feeding, courtship, mating,
etc. (Fig. 2d) (Bateman 1972; Shimoda and Kiguchi 1995).
Artificial lighting for a certain duration during the night can
shift the timing of the diurnal/nocturnal behaviors of
insects (Okada et al. 1991). This response is called a
‘‘phase shift’’ in chronobiology (Pittendrigh 1993; Truman
1976). (E) Photoperiodicity is the physiological response
of insects to the light schedule (i.e., day length). The onset
of diapause can be prevented by exposing insects to light
repeatedly for several days (Masaki 1984; Saunders 2012).
Insects that do not enter dormancy are unable to overwinter
(Fig. 2e). (F) Light toxicity occurs when the retinas of
compound eyes of an insect exposed to UV and blue light
radiation are damaged and structurally degenerated
(Meyer-Rochow et al. 2002; Stark et al. 1985). Further-
more, some insects are unable to undergo normal devel-
opment or survival (Fig. 2f) (Ghanem and Shamma 2007;
Siderhurst et al. 2006; Zhang et al. 2011). Such photo-
irradiation can also be used for post-harvest treatment of
crops. (G) Insects will not actively fly toward something
they cannot see (i.e., invisible). That is, by covering a
greenhouse with UV-blocking film, plants inside can be
made invisible to insects. As a result, pests will not enter
the greenhouse (Fig. 2g) (Antignus et al. 1998; Legarrea
et al. 2010). (H) Finally, some free-flying insects show a
dorsal light reaction, where they stabilize their horizontal
orientation (attitude) by perceiving light that shines on their
dorsal side as sunlight does during flight (Jander 1963).
The ability to control roll by means of the dorsal light
reaction is known for many flying insects such as drag-
onflies and desert locusts (Goodman 1965; Neville 1960).
By covering the ground with a highly reflective mulching
sheet, the normal orientation of flight is disturbed by light
reflected from below (Fig. 2h). These last two effects of
light are useful to prevent insects from entering a cultiva-
tion area.
These responses to light are substantially influenced by a
variety of factors, including light intensity and wavelength,
combinations of wavelengths, time of exposure, direction
of light source, and the contrast of light source intensity
and color to that of ambient light. In addition, the impact of
light on insect behavior varies both qualitatively and
quantitatively depending on the light source (light bulb or
light-emitting diode [LED]) and material (light-reflecting
plate) (Antignus 2000; Coombe 1981, 1982; Honda 2011;
Johansen et al. 2011; Matteson et al. 1992; Nissinen et al.
2008; Prokopy and Owens 1983; Smith 1976). In the
remainder of this review, we discuss examples of tech-
nologies that are currently being used to control a variety of
pests.
Attraction of insects to light sources at night

REVIEW Insect reactions to light and its applications to pest management Masami Shimoda • Ken-ichiro Honda Received: 9 September 2013 / Accepted: 24 September 2013 / Published online: 11 October 2013 Ó The Author(s) 2013. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Insects are able to see ultraviolet (UV) radia- tion. Nocturnal insects are often attracted to light sources that emit large amounts of UV radiation, and devices that exploit this behavior, such as light traps for forecasting pest outbreaks, and electric insect killers, have been developed. Some diurnal species are attracted to yellow; yellow pan traps are used for conducting surveys for pest outbreaks and yellow sticky plates are used for pest control. Lamps that give off yellow illumination have been used effectively to control the activity of nocturnal moths and thus reduce damage to fruit, vegetables, and flowers. Covering culti- vation facilities with film that filters out near-UV radiation reduces the invasion of pests such as whiteflies and thrips into the facilities, thus reducing damage. Reflective mate- rial placed on cultivated land can control the approach of flying insects such as aphids. Future development and use of new light sources such as light-emitting diodes is anticipated for promoting integrated pest management. Keywords Integrated pest management Á Artificial lighting Á Photoreception Á Phototaxis Á Light-emitting diode Introduction Most insects have two types of photoreceptive organs, compound eyes and ocelli. Compound eyes are made up of a large number of light-sensitive units termed ommatidia. An ommatidium contains an elongated bundle of photore- ceptor cells, each having specific spectral sensitivities. The ommatidia are packed in a hexagonal array so as to cover a large visual field with certain spatial resolution and to perceive the motion of objects (Land and Nilsson 2002). The spectral sensitivities of photoreceptors determine the visible light wavelength for insects, which often expands into the ultraviolet (UV) region, which is invisible to humans. A compound eye typically contains three types of photoreceptor cells with spectral sensitivity peaking in the UV, blue, and green wavelength regions, respectively, as exemplified in honeybees (Fig. 1) (Menzel and Blakers 1976). But even in the order hymenoptera, some sawflies have been shown to have red receptors as well (Peitsch et al. 1992). At any rate, it is likely that many insects can perceive UV light as a unique color (Koshitaka et al. 2008; von Helversen 1972). It is well known that insects fly toward streetlamps or other outdoor illumination at night. This innate photo- tactic behavior has provided the basis of the design of electric insect killers. Equipped with UV-emitting fluo- rescent tubes, the insect killers effectively attract insects such as moths and beetles and prevent these insects from entering into greenhouses and stores that are open at night. In recent years, considerable interest has been generated in pest control technology that utilizes the responses of insects to light as a ‘‘clean’’ form of pest control that does not use synthetic pesticides (Antignus 2000; Ben-Yakir 2013; Emura and Tazawa 2004; Honda 2011; Johansen et al. 2011; Tazawa 2009).

- 2. review recent advances of pest control technologies that employ this method. Influences of light on insect behavior and development Light affects insect behavior and development in a variety of ways that can be divided into several categories (Fig. 2). One of the most typical responses to light is phototaxis (Jander 1963). Insects exhibit the following phototactic behaviors: (A) attraction (i.e., positive phototaxis, moving toward a light source) (Fig. 2a); this response can be used to trap pests, but the effective wavelengths and intensities vary among species (Coombe 1981; Hardie 1989; Ki- noshita and Arikawa 2000; Menzel and Greggers 1985; Yang et al. 2003) and (B) repulsion (i.e., negative photo- taxis, moving away from light) (Fig. 2b); this can be used to prevent pests from entering a cultivation area by pre- senting light at wavelengths and intensities that repel them (Jander 1963; Kim et al. 2013; Reisenman et al. 1998).

In the remainder of this review, we discuss examples of tech- nologies that are currently being used to control a variety of pests. Attraction of insects to light sources at night The Japanese saying, ‘‘flying like an insect in summer into the fire,’’ speaks of unwittingly rushing to one’s doom by being drawn into a deadly situation. Many nocturnal insect Fig. 1 Spectral sensitivity curves of three types of photoreceptor cells (UV, blue, green) of the honeybee Apis mellifera (modified from Peitsch et al. 1992).

- 3. species such as moths, beetles and stinkbugs are attracted to artificial light sources. Of the light sources that attract nocturnal insects, those that emit relatively large amounts of UV radiation (blue fluorescent lights, black lights, and mercury lamps) exert the strongest attraction (Aoki and Kuramitsu 2007; Cowan and Gries 2009; Matsumoto 1998). Insect light traps using blue fluorescent light were used widely to control rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis Walker, and Tryporyza incertulas Walker moths in paddy fields across Japan during World War II and the postwar period (Ishikura 1950). The Ministry of Agriculture, For- estry, and Fisheries (MAFF) of Japan has established survey methods for forecasting pest outbreaks employing incandescent lights, mercury lamps, and black lights at pest control stations around the country (a light trap with an incandescent light is shown in Fig. 3). Identity and number data for each insect species are used to forecast pest out- breaks (Katayama et al. 1993; Matsumura 2001). Further- more, various electric insect killers that use light sources exerting a strong attraction on insects have been developed. These devices are put to practical use for pest control at greenhouses and at stores that are open at night (a large electric insect killer used in a hotel garden in China is shown in Fig. 4).

- 4. Attraction of insects to color plates Some diurnal insects can be attracted to light sources at night. However, due to the intensity of sunlight, artificial light sources are less effective (or not effective at all) for pest control during the day. To capture diurnal pests, the use of colored devices, such as yellow pan traps or yellow sticky traps, is well known: a yellow pan trap for fore- casting aphid outbreaks is shown in Fig. 5. Insects that are attracted to these yellowish devices include important crop pests such as planthoppers, leafhoppers, aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and leafminer flies (Esker et al. 2004; Mainali and Lim 2010; Vaishampayan et al. 1975). Yel- low sticky plates or rolls have become important tools for the physical control of these pests (Tokumaru et al. 2009): those in use at a tomato cultivation facility are shown in Fig. 6. Suppression of nocturnal insect activities by yellow light Fruit-piercing moths such as Eudocima tyrannus Guene´e and Oraesia emarginata Fabricius damage fruit in orch- ards. Damage can be prevented by running yellow Fig. 3 A light trap that uses an incandescent light.

This strategy makes use of the fact that when moths encounter light above a certain brightness at night, under which their compound eyes are light- adapted as in the daytime (Meyer-Rochow 1974; Walcott 1969), the light adaptation suppresses nocturnal behaviors such as flying, sucking the juice of fruit, and mating. This technique of suppressing behavior using yellow fluorescent light is also used to prevent damage to chrysanthemums and carnations by the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armi- gera Hu¨bner (Yase et al. 1997), damage to green perilla by the common cutworm Spodoptera litura (Fabricius), and damage to cabbage by the webworm, Hellula undalis Fabricius (Yase et al. 2004). The light-adapted and dark- adapted states of the compound eye of adult Helicoverpa armigera are shown in Fig. 7. Recently, green fluorescent lamps have also been developed for the control of noc- turnal moths. These lamps suppress the behavioral activity of a number of moth species in the same way as yellow fluorescent lamps but have little effect on the growth of plants compared to the yellow lamps (Yamada et al. 2006; Kono and Yase 1996; Yase et al. 1997) (Fig. 8). Further- more, because LED lighting is becoming considerably cheaper, yellow-emitting LEDs have been recently applied to control the behaviors of nocturnal moths (Hirama et al. 2007; Yabu 1999; Yoon et al. 2012). LEDs can produce highly monochromatic lights (i.e., with a narrow range of wavelength) across the spectrum from UV to red. This optical characteristic of LEDs is an advantage for con- trolling pest behavior and their practical application is expected in the near future. Control of pest infestation using UV-absorbing films The use of UV-absorbing plastic films that block near-UV light radiation (300–400 nm) in greenhouse cultivation has been shown to be effective for preventing different types of pests from entering greenhouses (Nakagaki et al. 1982, 1984; Raviv and Antignus 2004). Insect eyes are highly sensitive to near-UV light radiation and vision in the UV Fig. 7 The compound eye of the nocturnal moth, Helicoverpa armigera, in the light-adapted (left) and dark-adapted (right) states (photo courtesy of Junya Yase) Fig. 8 Flower cultivation facilities with yellow fluorescent lamps (a: carnation facilities, photo courtesy of Junya Yase; b: chrysanthemum facilities, photo courtesy of Manabu Shibao) Appl Entomol Zool (2013) 48:413–421 417 123
- 6. range is important for orientation in many species (Prokopy and Owens 1983). A greenhouse covered with UV- absorbing film is hypothesized to appear dark for these insects. For insects given access to a space with UV radi- ation and a space from which near-UV radiation was eliminated, many species avoid the latter. Studies have shown reduced incidence of insects such as aphids, whiteflies, and thrips in facilities covered with UV- absorbing film (Costa et al. 2002; Nguyen et al. 2009; Nonaka and Nagai 1985; Ohta and Kitamura 2006). In addition to vinyl chloride films, products made of highly durable polyolefin films have recently been developed to block near-UV radiation, to prevent infestation inside greenhouses. Honeybees, which play an important role in pollination, also become inactive in facilities covered with near-UV ray absorbing film, so caution is needed when pollinating insects are used in greenhouses: a plastic greenhouse covered with UV-absorbing film is shown in Fig. 9. Inhibition of flight by reflective mulching films The use of mulching films that reflect light in open crop fields is known to suppress the arrival of alate aphids (e.g., Fig. 10 shows a soybean field covered with a silver mulch sheet; Kimura 1982). Spreading reflective sheets over the ground surface has also been reported to control the inva- sion or outbreak of thrips and whiteflies (Nagatuka 2000; Simmons et al. 2010; Tsuchiya et al. 1995). The mecha- nism by which reflecting light controls the invasion of these pests is not yet fully understood. Some free-flying insects exhibit the dorsal light reaction, as described above (Goodman 1965; Jander 1963; Neville 1960). They stabi- lize their horizontal orientation by the light shining on their dorsal side, as happens with light from the sun when flying, but they become unable to continue normal flight when the light comes from the ground. By covering the ground with highly reflective mulching sheet, the light reflection from below disturbs the normal orientation of flight. Current research on physical pest control using light The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan has been implementing a research project called ‘‘Elucidation of biological mechanisms of photoresponse and development of advanced technologies utilizing light’’ since 2009 (Honda 2011). Understanding the light-response mechanisms of insects and developing advanced applied technologies are the main objectives of this project and research is underway toward the development of pest control technology using new light sources such as LEDs. The National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) of Japan is the core research institution for this project and more than 20 research groups including uni- versities, independent administrative institutions, public research institutes, and companies participate. The main areas of research include basic research on reaction behavior, color perception, and polarized light perception with light of different wavelengths; the development of outbreak forecast technology using new light sources; and the development of pest control technology using new light sources. In the project, we have set three research areas. For the first research area, electrophysiological tech- niques are being used to comprehensively measure the sensitivity of different pests over a wide range of light wavelengths. In addition, the responses of stinkbugs, thrips, whiteflies, planthoppers, leafhoppers, and other species to LEDs and other light sources are being studied to clarify the relationship between light wavelength and the behav- ioral ecology of pests. This area of research is aimed at determining the wavelengths that are effective for attract- ing or repelling pests as well as those that affect behavioral Fig. 9 A greenhouse covered with UV-absorbing plastic film Fig. 10 A soybean field covered with silver mulching sheets 418 Appl Entomol Zool (2013) 48:413–421 123
- 7. activity and orientation to the light (Hironaka and Hariy- ama 2009). The second research area includes the development of LED light sources that can be used in place of incandescent lights to forecast agricultural pest outbreaks as well as the investigation of outdoor devices (light sources and traps) that can be used in places with no electricity. Beneficial insects such as parasitoid wasps that are natural enemies of pests will also be studied to determine the light wave- lengths that attract them effectively. Studies are also investigating the development of fundamental technologies for devices to survey and collect natural enemies. More- over, devices that effectively attract biting midges, which play an important role as vectors for viral diseases in livestock, will be developed to survey outbreaks. For the third research area, behavioral effects such as attraction or repulsion associated with different wave- lengths of light are being analyzed for whiteflies, thrips, and leafminer flies, which damage vegetables grown in greenhouses; lepidopteran pests of bare-earth vegetables and tea; Asian citrus psyllids for citrus fruit; fungus gnats for cultivated mushrooms; and green chafers for sugar- cane. New pest control technologies for these pests include the use of LEDs. LED lighting devices that take up little space and have low energy consumption are likely to enable pest control in places where conventional light sources are impractical. At the same time, studies are being carried out to investigate the wavelengths that are effective against pests but have little effect on the culti- vation of crops. This research area aims to develop a new pest control technology that is fully compatible with cul- tivation technology. Conclusion LED devices with various wavelengths can now be man- ufactured due to recent technological advances, and new agricultural technology using light is starting to attract attention. Advances are also expected in the use of light for pest control as a result of these technological developments in lighting. Based on the new research being conducted by NARO, we hope to ensure the further development of applied technology founded on a good balance of input from basic research in universities and independent administrative institutions and applied technology from public research institutes and private companies to estab- lish the next generation of pest control technology.
