PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a brightness and luminance meter for insects that measures brightness or luminance related to attractiveness and behavioral activity of insects.SOLUTION: There is provided a brightness and luminance meter for insects for measuring brightness or luminance related to attractiveness and behavioral activity of insects, which includes: optical sensors 2, 3 having sensitivity in a wavelength region including ultraviolet light and visible light; selection means 51 which is capable of selecting a taxonomic group of insects, and selects behavioral characteristic spectral sensitivity data which is different for each taxonomic group of insects; wavelength weighing means 53 for weighting a signal input into or output from the optical sensor with the behavioral characteristic spectral sensitivity data selected by the selection means; and output means 7 for outputting the result of wavelength weighing performed by the wavelength weighting means as brightness or luminance for insects. The behavioral characteristic spectral sensitivity data is created by synthesizing an attractiveness spectral sensitivity curve related to the attractiveness of insects and a behavioral activity spectral sensitivity curve related to the behavioral activity of insects.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
