When I got home from this foray it was just in time to get the moth trap on - that's trap singular. I forgot to mention last week that my superb Synergetic trap got trashed by Nichola in a bizarre 'getting my bike out of the shed' incident which somehow caused the trap to hit the floor at just the wrong velocity and angle to ensure that the Synergetic ring got smashed to smithereens. Seeing as the mothing has been a bit pants anyway I haven't been bothered with getting one of my other traps out and have just been running the regular 125W MV. Naturally, with so little mothing of late there have been a fair few firsts for the year in the garden, and of course that garden first Isotrias rectifasciana that I've already posted about. Last night was the best so far this year.

No trap out tonight though. Sadly but predictably, seeing as tonight is the first of this year's Moth Night period, it is pissing down.

Synergetic Ring is a new one on me. Sounds interesting so could you point me in the right direction please as my Google skills got me nowhere.
Skev, what are you using as id reference for most of your more 'obscure' insect groups. I'm still trawling the internet myself...
Andrew,
Synergetic tubes are the greenish ones used in electric fly killers. See here for what it looks like:
http://skevsblog.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/new-trap-n-stuff.html
And somewhere like this here to buy some:

or here for tubes and electrics:

Steve,
We have a fairly decent local on-line reference 'library' here:
http://www.naturespot.org.uk/home
But if I can't find a match there, or in whatever literature I have, then it is on-line trawling though I look for multiple matching references to have some assurance.
That robber fly for instance is in Chinnery - then cross checked the British diptera list and there are only two species with different coloured legs so ID was straight-forward.
When I think about it I'll add a page with various useful reference websites that I come across.
Nice set up especially the box using the large funnel. I shall get my thinking cap on. Meanwhile, is that light running off a battery unit (the black box on top) and if so where was that from?
Andrew,
Thankfully our county recorder makes these traps - excellent they are too.
This one runs from mains but there is a ballast in the control gear in the box). Will be the same gear as for a standard flourescent tube. Depends how confident you are with the construction and wiring - you can buy the control gear from Paul Batty (or other similar supplier) but I'm sure you can also find the necessary bits and lamp holder on-line from lighting suppliers.

Probably something like this:

Thanks a bunch. I shall go through all these tonight and see if I can have a go myself.
