巨大的水虫，Lethocerus deyrolli，是一种在东亚发现的濒危湿地昆虫。2006年，L.在韩国的Gyodong岛，使用人造光对deyrolli进行了研究。L的飞行。在6月上旬至10月下旬观察到deyrolli，在6月中旬和9月出现两个诱虫高峰。L.在日平均气温为15°C及以上时，deyrolli开始表现出飞行行为，但昆虫的最佳飞行温度在17°C至19°C之间，风速小于约1.8米/秒，相对湿度约为80%。白天的长短并没有对飞行模式产生实质性的影响。每日航班主要发生在晚上9点至10点30分之间。L.被人造光吸引的戴罗利个体经常被喜鹊或家鼠吃掉。它似乎最有可能的是，人造光，如路灯和网球场的灯光，构成了当地灭绝的L. deyrolli的关键因素。
The giant water bug, Lethocerus deyrolli, is an endangered wetland insect found throughout East Asia. In 2006, the light-attraction flight of L. deyrolli was studied in Gyodong Island, Korea, using artificial light. The flight of L. deyrolli was observed from early June to late October, and two peaks in the numbers of attracted insects were noted in the middle of June and September. L. deyrolli begins to exhibit flight behaviour at a daily mean air temperature of 15°C and above, but optimal flight temperatures for the insect are between 17°C and 19°C, with a wind speed of less than approximately 1.8 m/sec and a relative humidity of around 80%. The length of daylight did not substantially influence the flight pattern. Daily flight occurred principally between 9 pm and 10:30 pm. L. deyrolli individuals attracted by the artificial light were frequently consumed by magpies or house rats. It appears most probable that artificial lights, such as street lights and tennis court lights, constitute a critical factor in the local extinction of L.deyrolli.
