Building a Friendly Moth Trap (It's super easy.) | KNOW #16

The secret is in the light source! We'll also talk about why moths are attracted to light with celestial orientation theory. This is a super chill outdoors activity.

Thanks for watching!

(I could have bought a more powerful bulb like entomologists use, or even a mercury vapor bulb, but I wanted to keep it cheap and simple.)

Loved the close up photos of moths! Did they allow you to come up to them once they were bespelled by the light or did you use a long-range camera lens? You have the neatest ideas!

You've got a really awesome channel man. I love the concept behind it. Subbed.

Thanks for vidéo. Not sure that you can say caddis are closely related to moths though. They are aquatic larvae for most their lives.
