UV trap?

[lychas]

I think there were a few threads ages ago but cant seem to find any now. I want to setup a UV trap in the hope i may get a few beetles i'm after. Can someone point me to a page where it shows how to set one up or just tell me how you do yours with pics?

Cheers

just plug in a blacklight outside and hang a sheet next to it-- trust me, they will come

I've had mixed results with blacklights. I do always set one up when I go out, but it seems like most of the insects come to the mercury vapor light I use. Same set up as people mentioned (meaning hanging a sheet up), just different lighting. Here is my home-made rig and some of it in action.
