SK28 The Sphinx Double 20w Actinic Robinson Moth Trap
The Sphinx - ALS Double 20w Actinic Robinson Moth Trap in special white reflective PP complete with bulbs and 5m cable
This moth trap is similar to our double 20w Compact Skinner Moth Trap but has a much better retention, once the moths get in the trap, they will find it hard to get out (the lobster pot effect). Supplied complete with all electrics, rain guard and 5M cable. 60cm diameter (at widest point), 2mm thick clear collar for extra durability with internal drainage holes and gauze covering. Also similar to the SK20a Twin 30w Robinson Trap in catch rate. Unlike that trap, the Sphinx does not have the cumbersome electrical control box that sits next to the trap, the 20w bulbs being self-ballasted.
Manufactured in lightweight and durable white polypropylene.
Excellent catch and retention rates.
Dimensions: 60cm at widest point.
Total height with rain guard 48cm.
Weight (with electrics) 4.6kg.
This moth trap is Mains only (not suitable for a battery) - provided with a 5 metre cable and 3-pin plug

The trap arrived safely on Tuesday and I used it for the first time last night. Very impressed with the retention of the moths - Robert Homan, Gloucestershire
The new trap has safely arrived. Looks fantastic. - Gerry Rawcliffe, London
I must say that I like the ease of moving the Sphinx 2x20W Robinson without having the control box to haul around as well, manoeuvrability and stability put it on top and the best choice. Great service too. - Cliff Morrison, Lincolnshire
I bought the Sphinx Double 20w Robinson trap in March 2022 to replace an ageing plywood Skinner trap. The new Sphinx trap is much lighter, has its own rain guard and no separate electrical control box to move around. Great product and top customer service from ALS. - Bob Chantler, East Sussex
It was easy to put together (even for me), is incredibly light and looks great (not perhaps relevant, but I think the white plastic is important). Since the weather was so good I decided I had to take it for a "spin" at a site on the edge of Witley Common. The results were fantastic. It attracted hundreds of moths, among which I was able to identify nearly 100 species (I am sure there would have been well over that figure, but I struggle with many of the micros). There were many of my favourite species, including Red-necked Footman, Scallop Shell and Brindled White-spot, but also some less common moths such as Olive Crescent and Goat Moth, the later being new for me. All-in-all a great night. - Shane Wallis, Kent
