Nice catch, what moth trap design do you use? I've been thinking about making one.

Thanks, Moth trap is home made,just an old wooden box, couple of pieces of perspex and a uv light source that I bough from Watkins and Doncaster. Not the most elaborate set up but its amazing what you catch just sat there by the back door.
