The purpose of this experiment is to see which color bulb attracts the most insects at night time. I will use the same lamp for both bulbs and put it in the same location outside a window so I can observe the lamp without disturbing the insects with my presence. I will watch one color for ten minutes and wait 20 minutes after to do the other color. This is to make sure the second light is not having similar bugs recorded from the first light. For every observation day I will switch the order of the
