Re: Guessing Game

Well it looks like a light bulb under a reflector over a container so an incubator but the light bulb is low energy so no heat thus the weedBetty Boop wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 2:46 amNo prizes for you
as if I'd advertise growing weed on the WWW
Re: Guessing Game
No, that's definitely a wave reflector. It could be an outdoor 10W line of sight microwave communications link. Or If it has water cooling it could be an autonomous military missile defence laser but they're not likely to arrive in the post.

Re: Guessing Game
Still too wet round these parts.
Re: Guessing Game
Well, grow light seems to be a logical option, but whatever it would be growing would be minimal, in that size a box.
some kind of insect related project, perhaps.

Some sort of flying bug trap, anyway.

Re: Guessing Game
You get the prize, it is a trap. For moths. Its actually my brothers and he takes it about the local area, sets it up, leaves it overnight and then records what he catches. This becomes a snapshot of what numbers and species are around.
I left the trap out all night and nothing when I looked this morning! Shame the weather isn't better, had it been a warmer less rain threatening night I might have caught something to photograph and show you guys.
Re: Guessing Game
Maybe we can continue this game?
The most interesting thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything, it's too late to stop reading it.

looks like a moth or a giant fly. Is it from that trap?

It might be one of those secret government surveillance automaton devices with a camera and microphone, they perch on curtain rails and film you constantly.

Re: Guessing Game
It is a Privet Hawk Moth, possibly the biggest moth I've ever seen. The photo was taken at dusk as I was releasing it, those stripes were actually a vivid bright pink, it really was very pretty. Yes it was caught in the trap.
Re: Guessing Game
It took me one day to realize that the name of that pic is already a correct answer
