Ah cool thank you! I've got some 10% KOH for moth dissections, would that work for this Wesmaelius too?

It's the EMP lure from angleps.com. I'd recommend first going to areas where they are known to occur, which tend to be open areas with lots of Heather. Deploying it for a max of 30 mins in these areas on a warm & slight breezy day should net some (although that day was incredibly windy!). Good luck!
