Examined it this morning and found it had been set off by a large slug. Possibly this one seen in an earlier observation at the same location /observations/69683403 |

@jon_sullivan: Did that list ever get finalised, I'm wondering whether we can add "Kness" as a trap type.
I was trying to use "other" for two purposes, perhaps we should just add 'unspecified' as the first in the list, and put 'other' at the bottom where it logically belongs.
There are also lots of trap types here that we have no observations for - perhaps to make the list slightly easier to use we could divide the list into two alphabetical sections, the first with commonly used traps (eg A24, DOC 200, Kness, Timms, Victor) and then the rest.
I was trying to figure out the logic of the grouping of some trap types ("Cage Trap DOC 150") etc, and finally twigged that it is simply an alphabetical list with some punctuation missing, and you meant to put a "|" between each!
