A night owl collects moths

I can not sleep and so I decided to write something. When I was in my early teens in the beginning of the 1980’s I collected butterflies and moths. I remember clearly how I walked in the middle of the night with my net to capture moths. I also had ‘honey traps’ that I did hang in trees and when moths came to eat this special juice I was able to catch them easily. I also had the UV light trap that was controlled by a timer. Good memories, an excellent hobby for a teenager. I still have these moths with me.
