The light-trap collecting results, showing its flight activity, of turnip moth (Scotia segetum Schiff.) was examined connected with meteorological events. There were 29832 moths saught during 3232 night by 64 light-trap stations in the examined period. Our results prove clearly, it is not enough to examine exclusively the modifying influence of each meteorological event on light-trap collecting. The success of light trapping is modified depending on several combinations of each meteorological event and they are not very often the same as the catching result of event to have an influence only.
