Abstract
We present one modified collection container to the “Luiz de Queiroz” light trap. This night tent-trap (or NTT) is characterized by being simple, inexpensive, and efficient in several aspects related to the capture of Heterocera: 1) even the fragile insects had few morphological damages; 2) favors selective collection of specimens, avoiding the predatory capture which contributes to the maintenance of local diversity, and 3) does not select any taxonomic groups or body sizes.
