***Orders expected to ship in June, 2026***
The Bug Lantern is a bespoke piece of research-grade equipment designed as a collaboration between Cootworx and Invertebrates Australia. This lantern has been designed specifically to attract moths, and will allow you to catch, observe and release moths in your garden. This piece of equipment is being used for the Bogong Watch project, and having your own trap will help you to participate in looking out for tagged Bogong moths, but it can also be used all year around to look for other critters in your backyard.
To operate the trap you will need a light, and a net trap attachment - these can be purchased separately, or as a combo. The net trap uses a light net, which can be hung up, letting you see moths in the net as they come in.
You can choose to purchase the light only ($199) or the combo package (including light and net trap - $299).
This product can run from either mains power or a power bank from a USB-C cable. Please note cables and power banks are not supplied. Find out more at: https://www.cootworx.com.au/
For specialised equipment and lights to attract other invertebrates, please get in touch with us for a quote. A percentage of profits will go towards supporting our work.
Domestic postage only currently.
