      Thank you Ferdy.
      When ever conditions are right I put up my white sheet and UV light just outside our front door . That way I can check every 10 minutes or so if some moth settled on the sheet. With the present extreme drought conditions it is almost impossible to find anything in nature at times. We need rain urgently.       Posted 4 months ago
