RE: Moth Trap Report - 21st April 2023 (still early days!)

in WE ARE MOVING2 years ago

Thank you! It started years ago when my partner started recording butterflies, so I decided to explore the world of moths. Moth traps are pretty simple to build, you just need a bright light source next to a box, and the moths fly in and struggle to fly out again.

all moths are released by the way, either during the night or sometimes the following evening if I'm struggling to name them

If you google light traps, or moth traps you should get some ideas

Here is a post on Moth Traps if you are curious to what I use, although in the summer months I hang a white sheet nearby, and that allows me to see loads of species of moths and also other insects.
