Abstract

The experiment was conducted at Bundelkhand University, Jhansi (UP) during the period March and April, 2021 to study the taxonomic distribution of insect pest species collected in Solar powered Light Traps model SMV- 8 and SMV- 9 using low energy light source i.e. 7w UV LED.  According to taxonomic analysis, 8 insect species were recorded and they belong to four orders and eight families. Based on the number of species collected, the order Lepidoptera had the biggest collection (42 per cent), followed by the order Coleoptera with 3 species (40 per cent). The pyraliidae family has the most insect pests (25 per cent), followed by the Scarabaeidae family (19 per cent).
