Bat Detector - Echo Meter Touch 2

The Echo Meter Touch 2 is a compact, plug-in ultrasonic module that transforms your smartphone or tablet into a professional-grade bat research tool. It generates a scrolling, full-color "sonogram" of the bat's calls. This allows you to see the shape of the sound-whether it’s a constant frequency or a steep FM (frequency modulated) sweep.

Auto-Identification: Within seconds of a bat flying past, the app suggests the two most likely species based on the call’s frequency, duration, and shape.

Moth Trap

Moths are most sensitive to the ultraviolet (UV) and blue-green end of the light spectrum. Traps use actinic bulbs or mercury vapor lamps because they emit high levels of UV radiation, which acts as a powerful "beacon" that can be seen from deep within the foliage. This causes the moth to fly in a tightening spiral around the bulb until it crashes into the the trap. The trap is like a funnel below the light where egg carton wait beneath. They seek dark tight spaces to feel secure and so will rest in these until released in the morning.
