How to build a moth trap

[htcdude]

Could anyone provide links on how I go about making my own moth trap, and what I need?

Thanks,

hello,

Im looking into making my own too ... way to expensive to buy one ready made

I found this Atropos: the journal for butterfly, moth and dragonfly enthusiasts. but I'm not all that sure about the electrics .....

The same website's own electrics are very reasonably priced, I have been checking. Cheapest is a mercury vapour electrics kit then the 240v actinic
as soon as you want 12v the price climbs.
I made a Skinner with a heavy duty folding crate from B&Q around £8, a batten to fit across and carry the lampholder £3 cut to size and two pieces of twin walled upvc roofing from a builder £2.
I have also used an Ikea mosquito net suspended from a post in the garden with a lamp inside, but this is an attended trap.
