As an aside to my thesis research conducted on moths in Central
Ontario, Canada I found that of the several hundred species present where
I was trapping, a few species (or individuals?) would be in the traps at
about 3-4 degrees C, with gradually increasing numbers up to about 16
or 17 C at which temperature the numbers seemed to even out somewhat. The
warmest that I trapped at was 19 degrees C so I could not tell if there was
an upper threshold.
