Bug zappers vs. borer moth

Lee DeJongh suggests the bug zapper against the borer moth:

My concern would be for all the 'good moths' (pollinators, among other things)
that would be lured to their deaths just because they were around at the same
time.  Hard to see how the zapper would selectively attract only the borer
moth.

By the way, Lee, it's wonderful (and cooling!) to hear your bloom reports.
Daffodils just fading: mmmm.  Wish I could turn the clock back here, where the
last buds on the latest of the tall beardeds opened today (one that's either
CHOIR BOY or HELEN COLLINGWOOD).  Cut down the bloom stalks on the others, and
am busily sticking stakes to mark where the new arrivals will go....
