Merry Christmas from my festive lamp conversion

Hi all and I hope that you have a lovely Christmas and wish you all good things for the New Year. I am hoping to attract three Wise Moths over the holiday although it looks as though they will have to have travelled from very afar, being a type of Ghost moth endemic to New Zealand.  All warmest and here's hoping for more everyday but interesting arrivals in the New Year! 


Update on Christmas evening: Well, I DID get Three Wise Moths but not from the Wiseana family. They are an excellent trio for this time of the year, nonetheless: a smart Winter moth, A Mottled Umber and finally a Cypress Carpet, a relative newcomer to the UK which is flourishing like the green bay tree.


Encouraged by this and by the pleasant mildness of the weather, I have lit the lamp again tonight, this time without the possibly slightly deterrent effect of my home-made star. Let's see what happens...
