As for as taxa composition was concerned, from formalin solution, total 89 species were recorded belonging to 9 orders, 43 families and 73 genera. Whereas, for sugar solution, total 74 species were counted pertaining to 08 orders, 33 families and 58 genera. In case of formalin solution, maximum population was recorded during 6 th sampling (252±64.06), and least values were recorded during 5 th and 1 st sampling (69±53.32). Whereas, species abundance was recorded utmost in 3 rd sampling (33 species) at temperature and humidity 38.9 °C and 28%, respectively. In case of sugar solution, maximum population was recorded during 6 th sampling (195±54.87) and least values were recorded in 9 th and 10 th samples (71±32.81) and (62±39.17), respectively. Whereas, species abundance was recorded utmost in 4 th sampling (29 species) at temperature and humidity 41.6 °C and 16.0%. For both solutions, maximum relative abundance was recorded for Psammodes sulcicollis (Tenebrionidae) 26.83% (N=433) “formalin solution” and 26.41% (N = 310) “sugar solution”. Diversity (H') was recorded maximum among formalin solution (0.4035) and least was recorded among sugar solution (0.2935). Species richness was again recorded high among formalin (23.3968) and least among sugar solution (20.8780). Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) among both (formalin and sugar) showed non-significant results (F=0.22; P=0.6478). Keywords: Urbanization, nocturnal invertebrates, formalin and sugar solution Introduction In spite of insects’ importance in ecological pyramids, they are often overlooked in conservation projects owing to their small size or it is considered that they least valuable than vertebrates. Whereas, their abundance exceeds than vertebrates because 75% of total identified fauna consist of insects’ population. They are fascinating and most beautiful creatures on earth biosphere, and being food for higher consumers, they are particularly important source of protein for survival of higher invertebrates [31] . Almost 1.5 million of species are identified as a vast group of arthropods with multi type habitats [5] ; they show fluctuation in diversity and density with regard to abiotic factors e.g. temperature and humidity. Their physical characters e.g. size, life activities, habitat and trophic status also depend upon these factors [2] , and such features make them eminent in ecosystem. While, their limited life span, extraordinary fertility and comfort of rising in test center promote their usage in biological exploration [33] . With extensive urbanization, there is huge invertebrate diversity within these areas, including unusual and important species [15] . Artificial lighting is being used to enlighten the dark environment for centuries and this trend is much high in urbanization for economic point of view. It influence ecosystem functioning and also impose negative impacts on invertebrate fauna [10] ; because invertebrates are highly sensitive toward such lights, particularly photoreceptors. They experience vast range of complexity and potential of light-sensitive structures which range from simple nerve fibers of some sea urchins to the complex compound eyes of insects. Many of them depend upon the natural rhythms of day – night and on season that triggers vital stages in their lifecycles, while, some e.g. flying adult and mayflies are disorientated by artificial light [39] . Light traps were developed to collect the insects of medical importance like sand flies, black
