the ones that aren't awake during the day...

Answer 3

I heard that if you leave a light on outside at night, you can get nocturnal insects that come to it. I also heard that blacklights work like that too, but I'm not sure where to get those, because they usually come with bug traps which sorta zap the bugs or use some other method to demolish them. I'm also not sure how many of the nocturnal things there are on the list, or what there is that comes out at night.

Answer 4

I know of a couple. . .

moths (there are tons of species so a species guide will tell you what kinds they are.)

earwigs are nocturnal

cockroaches come out at night too

fire flies are nocturnal.

If you are trying to catch them and show them to your class, all you will have to do is stay up for a couple of hours with a light on outside when it is dark.
