The Sun’s activity is the common name of the larger, local disturbances in the Sun’s radiation
Electromagnetic and corpuscular radiation coming from the Sun causes changes in geophysical parameters on Earth (The coincidence or delay of the appearance of a terrestrial phenomenon depends on whether it is caused by electromagnetic or corpuscular radiation)

Summary

Mini Review

Light-Trap Catch of European Corn-Borer (Ostrinia Nubilalis Hbn.) in Connection with the Sunspot Numbers in Hungary between Years 1959-2006. The study examined the light-trap catch of European Corn-borer (Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner) in connection with the sunspot numbers. The catching data of European Corn-borer (Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn, Lepidoptera: Crambidae) were taken from the light-trap registers of the Hungarian Light-trap Network. During these years (between 1959 and 2006), 321,795 moths were caught by the 131 light-traps. Our results demonstrate it is favourable for the Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn. if the number of sunspots is the same as the average. Both the smaller and the higher number of sunspots reduce the flying activity
