Street lights and other
of artificial lighting could be causing a
in insects. Researchers from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology conducted studies on the
of insects living
sources of white
from LEDs. The researchers said LEDs are disrupting
behaviour and causing a fall in their numbers. The lead researcher said the
of his study were "eye-opening". He was
at how much LEDs affected the number of insects. He found a 47 per cent
in insects near hedgerow test sites and a 37 per cent reduction near roadside grassy
.
