Des chercheurs ont réussi à prouver en laboratoire que les moustiques ne sont pas plus actifs seulement à cause de la hausse des températures liée au réchauffement climatique, mais aussi en grande partie à cause de la pollution lumineuse. La lumière artificielle de nos villes allonge leur période d'activité et les empêche d'entrer en phase de repos. Via Hubert MESSMER

L’espèce humaine est un voisin bruyant qui laisse la lumière allumée toute la nuit et libère dans l’environnement de nombreuses substances chimiques odorantes. Même non toxiques, ces productions interfèrent avec les processus sensoriels et cognitifs qui permettent aux organismes de communiquer, d’exploiter leur milieu, ou d’éviter les prédateurs.

In recent decades, advances in lighting technology have precipitated exponential increases in night sky brightness worldwide, raising concerns in the scientific community about the impact of artificial light at night (ALAN) on crepuscular and nocturnal biodiversity. Long‐term records show that insect abundance has declined significantly over this time, with worrying implications for terrestrial ecosystems. The majority of investigations into the vulnerability of nocturnal insects to artificial light have focused on the flight‐to‐light behavior exhibited by select insect families.

Climate change, pesticides and land use changes alone cannot fully explain the decline in insect populations in Germany. Scientists from the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) have now discovered that regions that have experienced a sharp decline in flying insects also have high levels of light pollution. Light pollution a reason for insect decline, 20.06.2018 "... The scientists analysed all recent studies on the effects of artificial light at night on insects, and found that there is strong evidence to suggest a credible link between light pollution and declines in insect populations.

Recent reports of drastic declines in insect populations have raised global concerns about their conservation. Light pollution is a near inseparable feature of human-altered landscapes and is a potential contributing factor to insect declines.

Svenja Schultze, ministre de l'Environnement allemande, a présenté ce mercredi 5 août 2020 un projet de loi visant à réduire la pollution lumineuse et l'utilisation de pesticides. L'objectif : préserver les insectes, particulièrement sensibles à ces nuisances.
