my B52 43mm

[crumble]

my trap is an old one that actually measures a good 43mm, having said that I can't hold the ends and the ruler at the same time to photograph it as the ends keep curling!  so will have to do with 42 to 43 ish :   I should have measured it when it was younger.

[Trev]

Crumble, the traps do seem to keep growing slowly after they become functional, so you may have gained a few millimetres by the later pic. I think enry69's has the edge on yours though.

[crumble]

Yes    I'm sure you're right, anyway I can't hold the trap enough to get it all visible under the ruler, don't have enough hands/fingers.     maybe next year.

Hi EMa,
Is it from the VFT clone "Big Traps",  I heard they have re-named it Baby Traps!  yours is no baby.

If you want to qualify for the competition you will need to photograph with a clear plastic ruler in front of the trap.
