Survey of insects with yellow adhesive traps in environments of the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro

Abstract

To evaluate the entomological biodiversity of some sites at the Federal University of Triângulo Mineiro, in Uberaba-MG, a study was carried out with traps arranged in three environments. The objective of this study was to verify both the quantity and the biodiversity of insect species. After the analysis of the material, a high species richness was observed in a room lit with natural and artificial light, with open windows and daily movement of people in the environment.  In a room lit with natural and artificial light, with closed windows and daily movement of people, only one specimen of Coleoptera was collected. In a room lit only with artificial light, with closed windows, no movement of people and strict sanitary control, no specimen was sampled. This is a place focused on the area of clinical analysis. It was found that the institution had partial success in the evaluated areas, especially about the cleanliness of the Laboratory.
