MessageFront porch has covered ceiling lights with yellow bulbs. Carport has
spiral fluorescent bulbs in the ceiling. That's where the phoebe and the
rough-winged swallows nest, so the moths that linger after daylight don't pass
on their dumb genes.
I need to rig up something else; some moths don't come down from the ceiling.
Another way to attract some is to park a vehicle with lights on out in open
countryside or near woods. That brings some. Beware: car headlight glass gets
HOT.

Many reports refer to moths being drawn to their porch light. Is it anymore
than one 100-watt A-19 by the front door? Or are they a UV type? Short
description of some of your alls set-ups would be nice to read. Thanks.
