I haven't made any trips out recently as the weather has not been very favourable and i'm hoping for a few warm nights next week! fingers crossed.
I have though been sorting out Moth studying equipment for taking with me to Spain in 2 weeks time.
I am going for the mobile approach so I have purchased 3 4w UV bank checkers that run on 4 AA batteries each (using rechargeable batteries should make these useful)
Also I have found a really cheap camping lantern (£5) from Wilkinson's after being told about these, I purchased one. It runs off of 4x D batteries (again rechargeable) and I am trying to source a 4-pin 9w compact blacklight bulb to replace the bulb that is in it.
All these will be run at the same time in conjunction with a vertical white sheet and a white sheet on the floor, hoping for some unusual moths!
The UV Bank Checker (used to distinguish real from fake, uv so should attract a few moths)

Wilkinson 9w UV lantern (The bulb is probably good enough but looking to replace it with a proper blacklight)
