I recently built a moth trap to see what was out and about in my
garden at night. We have had some heavy rain over the last couple of
weeks so I was just waiting for the right night that would be dry and I
got one Saturday night. So I setup the trap and headed to bed. When I
got up sunday morning I was amazed at the amout I had in the box. For
something that was home made I had trapped over 30 moth and up to 15
different species. So here are a few shots of the moths..
Bright-line Brown-eye
Buff Ermine
Buff and White Ermine
Common Emerald Moth
Common White Wave moth
Dark Arches Moth
Eudonian mercurella
Garden Carpet Moth
Heart and Dart Moth
A Large Yellow Under Wing Moth
Phlyctaenia coronata
Riband Wave Moth
And another type of Riband Wave Moth
Small Magpie Moth
Straw Dot Moth

Great work James! Know this is an old post, just found it through google search. I'm looking to build a moth trap of my own, any tips? I'm presuming you bought the electrics pre-wired?
