[QUOTE="SveinB, post: 1790254, member: 5182"] Nice to see all these well made traps and good designs, and showing the fun part of building the traps too. I do have a thread showing how I build my moth traps here: [url]http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=95708[/url] Anyway, here are the traps that I use now: Setup1: My main trap, a quite large bucket trap with a 60 cm funnel and 400w MV light. Setup 2: A 12V battery powered bucket trap, using 2x Ø12 cm UV cold cathode tubes. Setup 3: Most for showing the landscape where I live and do my main moth trapping all trough the season. Picture showing a trap with a lamp that did not work so well- a 125w Envirolite ESL. This trap is now equipped with a large funnel like the Setup1 trap, and with 125w MV light. Setup 4: This is a new trap for this year, with a 35 cm funnel. I have a 12V solar switch equipped 22w actinic tube setup from Paul Batty for this trap, and solar cell panel for charging the 12V battery in the field- and for use when living at my cottage in summertime, where there is no electricity.
