I have sent the Phycitodes to Tom to be checked though.<br /><br />Hi Matt, When I was wondering what trap to buy or to make my own I thought that I would just bite my lip and spend some cash. I'm pleased I did now, Robinsons are so easy to work with...If you upped to a twin 40w that would push things up a bit I bet.Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985665182124985194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207171199318659296.post-40687447481633636022012-07-27T11:35:26.806+01:002012-07-27T11:35:26.806+01:00Great stuff Mark- I'm up to around 90+ species...Great stuff Mark- I'm up to around 90+ species in a night, I think I may need something more powerful than twin 15w traps to get over the ton.Broom Birderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474943033132623669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207171199318659296.post-1640894475367341342012-07-26T23:22:58.441+01:002012-07-26T23:22:58.441+01:00It's possible in suburbia Matt - in fact if I&...It's possible in suburbia Matt - in fact if I've managed it you should be able to go even higher being that bit further south. I don't think I've had any better night for species in the last couple of years though so this is not completely out of date:<br />http://skevsblog.blogspot.co.uk/2010/04/top-mothing-nights.html<br /><br />No idea on your tortrix Stewart - looked a bit Eucosma-ish to me but not quite right for the usual candidates. I suppose a Bactra sp. would be another possibility - hard to work it out from the photo.
