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.

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
