15W SYNERGETIC TUBES FOR SALE
The green tube has UV in the best range and I have always been pleased with its performance in my bucket trap, so much so I bought a bunch of them.
Stored away I forgot them and have just bought a new one from Paul Batty...now costing £12 plus postage.
My originals were £8 and if anyone would like one I have 2 for sale!
I migrate between Cardigan and Tregaron/Aberystwyth so could deliver.

Lazy mothing!
I put my LED trap out last night, for a small yield, of which the most interesting was a pristine Bordered Beauty (and a couple of hornets).
Bordered Beauty |
However, I had recently noticed evidence of moths being eaten in a small barn, presumably by bats. So I check the detritus there from time to time.
Scarce Silver-lines |
Usually the remains are of Large Yellow Underwings, Dark Arches and Silver-Y, but last night's was a bit special, with parts of two Scarce Silver-lines. I guess they still count as new to the garden list, even deceased! Hopefully I may see a live one some day.
