Attempted to run the trap last night, by 10pm had no moths and the forecast rain had arrived so packed in. Lean times in November!!

Despite the onset of cold weather I decided to run my UV trap last night, I thought it might be the last chance for a few nights. I shouldn't have bothered 'no moths'.
