The Battle of the Traps....21/03

30 watt Actinic/UV

Upgraded 15 watt Actinic portable

15 watt Actinic

Just for experimental purposes I put out 3 traps last night. Conditions could have been a bit better with a clear, fairly cold night and a fairly bright moon. (36% of full)

The results were as follows-

30 watt Actinic/UV

1. Hebrew Character- 2
2. Clouded Drab
3. Common Quaker
4. Small Quaker
5. Emmelina monodactyla
6. Agonopterix heracliana

Upgraded 15 watt Actinic portable

1. Common Quaker- 3
2. Clouded Drab

15 watt Actinic

1. Hebrew Character- 2
2. Common Quaker
3. Emmelina monodactyla

It proves absolutely nothing as the 30w trap is in the most sheltered position. But it is nice to see the portable at least keeping up with the mains version in close proximity to each other.
