Location: 
Dead Horse Ranch State Park,
Arizona,
USA
Description: 

In Dead Horse Ranch State Park, Margarethe Brummermann sat up an installation with a white sheet and blacklights. We attracted plenty of moths, grasshoppers and beetles, as well as small cicades, flies and wasps.

Many of the Tiger Beetle species which are active during the summer in the South of the USA, are mainly active at night. They are often attracted to bright lights. In particular after a heavy monsoon rain they can be attracted in hundreds to the lights of remote gasoline-filling stations.
