Robinson Traps offer the ultimate in moth capture and retention for the professional and amateur naturalist.
The Midi Robinson is a new smaller version of our best-selling Standard Robinson Moth Trap. The base of the Midi Robinson trap has a diameter of 45cm, compared to the Standard Robinson trap which has a diameter of 60cm. The height of the Midi Robinson is 45cm. The Midi Robinson features the same funnel, rain guard (MV version only), baffles and choke unit as the Standard Robinson moth trap.
As with the Standard Robinson, the base of Midi Robinson is made of impact resistant plastic in one piece (with no welded joints), with a removeable 3mm rigid clear Perspex collar. The rain guard (MV version only) and flight interceptor baffles are made of the same material as the collar and the funnel is formed from 3mm white plastic.
Midi Robinson Electrics
The electrics are supplied within a IP56 rated enclosure box with leads entering the box through tightened compression glands. The input leads are 5m in length and the output lead is 2m in length.
The Midi Robinson is available with either 80W mercury vapour (MV) or 15W actinic electrics. The 80W MV version requires a mains power supply and so needs to be connected to a mains supply or generator. The 15W actinic version runs off a 12V power supply and so can be powered by a portable battery. Mercury vapour electrics will attract the most moths, but actinic electrics are less bright so will minimise disturbance to neighbours. The Actinic Midi Robinson does not require a mains supply and so is more portable.
The MV Midi Robinson comes with a rain guard to protect the bulb from damage (MV bulbs run hot and so can shatter if they come into contact with rain). The Actinic Midi Robinson does not need a rain guard as the bulbs will not shatter if they come into contact with rain. The bulb fittings are also waterproof.
If you're unsure which Robinson moth trap to choose or would like to know how to get the most from your trap then check out our Guide to Robinson Moth Traps.
