The moths are ready

The moths have developed into adult moths. I met back up with Rob and we, well mainly he, grabbed a moth with some tweezers and put it in to one of the traps. The problem was that the moths were quite strong relative to the flytrap and held on to the tweezers so they didn't get trapped.

Here is a video showing the attempts made to put the moths in. In the first attempt the moth escaped, in the second if wasn't trapped by the fly trap. For the third attempt we had to kill the moth first and Rob dropped it into one of the traps. We couldn't keep trying because there were only a few traps that we would be able to scan as they have to be on long stems.

Thank you very much to Rob, who organise the moths for me, and Josh who filmed the video.

Now the moth is in the trap I will wait a few hours and pass it on to Sharif to scan it.
