Hi Tom
Our outdoor lighting at the Hunt Museum is sodium vapour, so we’re being very good. Even so, our proximity to the Shannon river results in quite a high number of aquatic flies (mostly Dipterans) that clutter up our blunder traps but are harmless. Thus my interest in the pheromone traps, which would attract only real pests.
However, I note Cindi’s concern that pheromone traps would actually attract pests, so I’m wondering how the proposed traps can avoid this.
Meanwhile, getting back to lighting, we have a couple of items that might qualify for red. One is a sheela-na-gig who has lost her head and most of her legs, but she still has the important bits.
The other is a self-portrait by Robert Fagan with his second wife, Maria. Apparently he was so devastated by the death of his first wife that he waited a whole six months to marry Maria.

I might suggest changing your outdoor lighting to sodium vapor fixtures. Most outdoor lighting is mercury vapor or incandescents. The mercury vapor ones give off lots of UV light and attract midges and other flying and crawling insects to the building. This in turn leads to lots of spiders. Of course the least attractive light would be a red light, but we all know what that means. ![Image removed by sender. :-)](jpgI25eQA4c20.jpg)
