Great idea
If Mobile phones can read Barcodes and Q codes, surely someone can write an app to read wing patterns.
Trap, scan, I/D, job done
It would save hours of trawling online and through reference books to get an I/D !

Recently, I've been trying my new home made trap. Made from 2 buckets and a funnel. I use a 15 Watt black U/V bulb. It's not had the best of results so far, but last night it out performed the main trap :-

Lovely shots Greg. The white ermine is a pretty moth.

The ermine one is very aptly named.

Here's an interesting one from this morning. The Spectacle Moth. The 3rd photo shows how it gets its name.

They're brilliant, Greg - the detail is fascinating, right down to the mouth parts on pic 3.
always like to view the moths
