[QUOTE="Surreybirder, post: 1419719, member: 1211"] Nice photos, Rob. I haven't taken any of last night's catch as it has been dull and cloudy here so far. There's little doubt that the Robinson (125W) both attracts and retains more moths than my previous home-made 80W affair. It's too early to say for sure but my impression is that more of the moths enter the trap than with my old one. I used to find loads of moths in the grass around the trap whereas last night only about 6 were outside the trap. (Of course, the earlier one was a free loan from my CR and it's helped get my garden list up to around the 490 mark, so I'm very grateful to have had it.) Ken PS Last year I only managed to get one new macro species, in what was clearly a generally poor year. I'll be interested to see if I get any new ones with the Robinson. Ken [/QUOTE]
