Better than expected........06/08

I put 2 traps out last night, mainly to test a new one to make sure the electrics were working properly. As it rained a lot of the night, I had both twin 15w Actinics side by side under a shed canopy. I took a few photos and did a full count of both traps and surrounding walls.........
