What's a "bait trap"
Just kidding. I think it's more of an eastern USA thing, although I could be wrong. I've caught quite a few Catacola here
at home with a UV light, at least before the forest next door was flattened by developers.
I have no where to safely use a bait trap, I only go overnight collecting and just use the light in unused areas.
It's really depressing driving home with 75% of your stuff.

There are nymphalids and catocala even in suburbs. It’s worth deploying bait and light traps in the back yard. |

I've used bait traps quite successfully in the West - Colorado and Wyoming and Montana. Got lots of Catocalas and other moths, and some good Nymphalids also - mostly Polygonias and the like.

I currently have sixteen (16) Bait Traps set out. Eight (8) of them are a long way from home. There are Ten (10) plus one in my back yard are in use year round (24-7-365). There are many species of moths (Noctuidae & Erebidae) that are active during warm days/nights in the winter.
There are also butterflies that hybernate during the Winter and also become active on warm days during the Winter.
There are many other insects that are active on those warm Winter day's. Diptera, Hymenoptera and Coleoptera can fill a Bait Trap on a warm winter day/night.
Bait Traps require some effort. You can deploy them in some good locations for some choice species in some difficult habitats to collect.

Cheers, jh Perhaps after the area settles in, and animals return my neighborhood will produce something, I ran a light at home for several years, until the subdivision changed everything, I began to notice fewer and fewer moths, I ran a light last year for a month or so, and got nothing at all. That's extinction. |
