Artificial lighting has been shown to have adverse effects on the physiology and behavior of animals, including insects. In this sense, the study of the influence of luminosity on different species is necessary to observe the effects caused and even negative impacts on the environment. The main objective for carrying out this research was to verify the effectiveness of different types of lamps in pitfall traps for collecting insects. The capture technique chosen was passive collection, in which light traps were previously set up, and temporary preservation by liquid means, for attraction and retention. 25 insects belonging to the orders Hemiptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Trichoptera and Psocoptera were collected. After analyzing the results, a greater efficiency was observed for the pitfall trap that used a warm white compact fluorescent light lamp, which resulted in more insects being captured. Using the Chi-Square method, the result was significant for all groups at the 1% level, that is, the probability that the difference observed between the treatment is random is less than 1%. It was possible to conclude that the collection of insects was effective, enabling a study on attractiveness. However, in order to achieve a greater understanding of the patterns of distribution and abundance of groups of insects, more collections must be carried out, including other seasons of the year and in different environmental conditions.
