Ruth, do you pro-actively lure moths with lights, or are they chance encounters? Posted 6 years ago

  All chance encounters Ferdy. I met and spent an evening with a gentleman in PA who had lights and a sheet hung in his garden and I was blown away with the number of moths and insects that flew in! Do you know, I might give this some thought for the coming summer. Posted 6 years ago
