I got another Nymphalis antiopa in the trap today. It's strange after living here for three years I can't ever remember seeing one but yet I have caught two in less than a week.

Changed the bait today. I replaced the apple-banana mix with cantaloupe-(kitchen floor) strawberry bait. Will be interesting to see if the numbers or types of species it attracts changes.

While checking my trap early this morning for catocala I noticed a Cyllopsis gemma (Gemmed satyr) in my trap. I was very pleased to have collected one. It's the first one this year. I went into the house to get a envelope and when I got back (less than 4 minutes) a damn bald faced hornet had ate it. I can't wait to find their nest this winter!

Hello All,
Many years ago in South America I baited some good leps successfully using a spare net bag as a trap. I cut three sticks about 32" long, stuck them in the ground and put the net bag over them so it looked like a teepee, with the bottom of the net bag about 3" above ground. Bait went onto a piece of banana leaf under the net. Probably not terribly efficient, but it's the ultimate in weight and portability!

That leptrap leptraps built that caught catocala and zale reminds me of hotel California, you can checkout any time you'd like, but you can never leave.

They can leave. Just in a jar if they are a catocala or a envelope for all other lepidoptera.

True. They get bagged and tagged. Lol
