To attract moths in the outdoors, it is good to find or construct a tent-like
structure (your choice as to size), cover it with a suitable thin cheesecloth
(white for photo background), and place one or two portable black lights
inside. Set it up along a trail or dirt road in the woods and be patient. If
you build it, they will come.

Front 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.
