In the past the two Copper Underwings (Amphipyra pyramidea/berbera) have been keen on the sugar as well as Dot Moth (Melanchra persicariae) and The Dun-bar (Cosmia trapezina).
My mix is a bottle of red wine warmed (not boiled) to dissolve as much dark sugar in it as possible.
I made a sugar string from Red wine and white sugar, and dangled it from/over a tree.

Svenssons Copper Underwing was new for the area.
Site chosen to aid capture of migrants, with open situation etc. Moth numbers continue to drop.
Two potentially quite rare species trappped were Calamotropha paludella (a largely fenland species with a south-easterly bias in the UK) and Eucosma obumbratana.

 Lynn Scott's Amphipyra pyramidoides image
Amphipyra pyramidoides is known as the Copper Underwing, because of its coppery red hindwings.
The group of moths collectively known as the underwing moths, however, belong to the genus Catocala in the noctuid subfamily Catocalinae, whereas A.
If this moth can be persuaded to show its coppery hindwing, the color is an excellent clue to identification.

 BirdForum - Green butterfly?
They are a very vivid green on the underwing (which is what you see when the Butterfly is at rest) bordered by a thin stripe of orange and a thin white outer edge.
Actually Dark Green Fritillary is rather poorly named as they only show a faint greenish wash to the underwing, not a solid block of colour, from your initial desription it seems unlikely to have been a Dark-green Fritillary.
They are quite a small butterfly, similar in size to a Small Copper whereas a Dark Green Fritillary is about twice that size.

The presence of the moth species merveille du jour, green silver-lines, oak hook tip and copper underwing are probably due to the lovely mature oak in a neighbour's garden.
If you have room for a willow of any type, or an oak, your range of insects in the garden, especially moths, will increase dramatically.
The range of species it attracts is enormous and includes such beauties as the Parent Bug and the Birch Sawfly.

 Suffolk Moth Group Newsletter - Issue 27
Another very good night was had on August 2nd with Least Carpet, Canary-shouldered Thorn, Oak Hook-tip, Swallow, Coxcomb, and Pebble Prominents, Herald, Copper Underwing, Evergestis pallidata and Phlyctaenia coronata being the stars.
Daytime discoveries this month were all larvae: Fox Moth (6th), Buff-tip (20th feeding on Oak) and Yarrow Pug (a caterpillar found by searching Yarrow seedheads on the 27th).
Silver-Ys seem to have been very scarce this year (around this way anyway), so the eight trapped on August 10th were welcome, as were Mouse Moth and The Lychnis on 13th.

Red bats, fisher (tracks), black sea bass, orange-striped green anemone, American oystercatchers, glossy ibis, copper underwing moths, fork-tailed bush katydid, black-horned tree cricket, American chestnut, round-leaved sundew, dwarf ginseng, Indian pipe, bird's nest fungi, puffball fungi - this is just a sampling of the biodiversity of Guilford.
It will be months before all the species lists are collected and compiled into a database, but we estimate that over 2000 species will be documented.
These diminutive butterflies were a real find; this is a southern species that rarely strays into our area.

 Glareola maldivarum
They are a warmer brown in colour than Black-winged Pratincoles and have a white trailing edge to the wing and diagnostic copper colouring in the underwing.
The unique shape should be enough to identify a pratincole but notice too that they are mostly brown above but with a neat white rump and from below they look mostly dark but with a pale body.
Breeds close to wetland areas such as river deltas, lakes and marshes, nesting colonially in dried-out areas.

 BirdForum - Svensson's Copper Underwing
One of Arthur C. Clarkes three Laws of science come's to mind, which says:- When an eminent scientist states that something is definately so, he is invariably wrong.
In the meantime I'll remain unconvinced until I have seen the data.
And I'd forget that dagger thing, I (IMHO) don't believe it works.
