I’ve been looking into how to build moth traps recently and just finished and tested my first prototype. I took an empty pretzel container and cut off the top, then I flipped it upside-down and glued it to the container so it formed a funnel. Then I lined the bottom of the container with pieces of egg cartons, which I read the moths and insects like to land on. Finally, I placed it on my back porch overnight with a light over the top and waited to see what I would catch.
I wasn’t sure I would catch anything because it poured rain all through the night, but when I checked the trap in the morning, I found two moths and several caddisflies, which I didn’t think was too bad for a first try.

Can we have a picture of the trap please?
I'm not quite sure how to upload pictures to a chat message or journal post. I tried copying and pasting it but I couldn't get it to work.
