My new moth trap
Introducing my new moth trap! After concerns about upsetting the neighbours by placing my Skinner trap with twin actinic lights in the best bit of the garden, I decided to try a black light. I ordered a 25W compact flourescent black light, then set about building a trap around it a couple of days ago. Plastic box and lid, plastic funnel, outside light fitting from Homebase, some wood offcuts and cable I already had - total cost just under £20, slightly less than the bulb! I tried it last night, as you can see here, and I think I did almost as well as with the Skinner. No more worries about lighting up the neighbourhood now! A couple of new moths for the garden, including Double-striped Pug - see extra photo.
