Description

Build Your Own Moth Trap: A Step-by-Step Guide This book provides detailed instructions for building two effective moth trap designs using easily sourced materials and components. The author's experimentation with various materials and light sources has resulted in a portable trap that works well in the countryside, using 0.75 W UV LEDS. Eight of these traps can be easily carried, making it ideal for recording in the field. A second design, powered by a 240 Volt mains supply, allows for the use of brighter bulbs such as 20 W actinic CFLs, resulting in larger catches. This mains-powered trap is robust enough to be used in all weathers throughout the year, provided it is stored in a suitable box. The book's instructions are suitable for anyone with basic DIY skills, and the designs are simple to build and maintain.
