Took delivery yesterday of the twin 30W actinic set up from ALS to use as interchangeable with the existing MV electrics on the Robinson trap and gave the light a run out last night. All in all a good result including one new for year that I'd been anticipating for a few days - Oak Beauty. Always a treat and much loved by the kids (keeps them going until the hawkmoth season!)...

Couldn't resist some of these pics:
In this one it's like an old Vulcan bomber with two wingmen

And if anyone has any ideas as to what the Clouded Drab said to the Oak Beauty...
You`re right, David. Oak Beauties are one smart species.
