Abstract

Abstract The design of a lightmeter suitable for use at low light levels is described. Catches of mosquitoes biting man at sunset near Manaus Amazonas indicated that light intensity controls biting activity in crepuscular species to a very fine degree.Resumo É descrito um luximetro apropriado para uso em baixo nível de luz. Mosquitos picando o homem capturados ao entardecer, em uma área próxima a Manaus, Amazonas, indicaram que a intensidade de luz controla a atividade de picada em um grau muito sensível, nas espécies crepusculares.
