| Description |
May I bring you my new trap! Testing and some moths The start of May usually heralds a glimmer of hope that the moth season is fast approaching and it won't be long before traps will be full of moths again. I'd been toying with the idea into getting a new bulb for my trap, initially a clear 125w Mercury Vapor. This wasn't possible as the only ones I could find were from overseas and it is now an offence to import any Mercury Vapor bulbs into Europe as of 2008. So basically us moth'ers have been living off European stock for as long as ten years already, and a lot of bulbs being sold on the likes ebay are used. I got in touch with Paul Batty who came up trumps with a new clear bulb, but it was to be the 250w variety, which is extremely bright and literally unobtainable nowadays. Paul secured a small stock of these bulbs and I look forward to trying it out from now on. 10 moths of 6 species was good for a cool and clear night...was it the bulb with better UV output that did it? Or was it just luck on a cool night where I would normally blank! Who knows. Brindled Beauty was only the third garden record, what a lovely moth it is.
