quote h20: "What's a light trap?"
It attracts and captures insects. Turned on for a specific period of time in set areas to measure changes in numbers of undesirable pests. Of course, they have to be ones which are attracted to light...

Only the caption from the archives to go from. I've looked at the related catalog detail, and found nothing helpful. Maybe someone will recognize it if you post it to the General Thread?

I really like your 4-30-2014 photo of the couple basking in the sun. Shortly before their world turned upside down in WW2. The guy probably ended up in the war, and she probably did too in one way or another. Then they, (if they survived), had boomer kids, and their kids had more kids (grand kids), who may now be sitting in the same place.
They look so innocent in that photo, without any worries or knowledge about what their future in the next couple of years will be like.
That photo says and means a lot to me. Thanks. Tomster
