Animals evolved di erent behavioral strategies to adapt to a 24 h-cycle, namely, the rest-activity alternation. Bright light, being applied during scotophase, causes profound changes in the activity of the nocturnal insect, cockroach Periplaneta americana. We found that experimental illumination evokes the gradually developing freezing reaction. Speci c changes in the grooming pattern under the illumination are indicative of a developing stress response. The periods of total immobility suggest the appearance of the “masking” effect, i.e. a photophase-like behavior during scotophase.

Key words: light, freezing behavior, insect, cockroach, scotophase
