I did some mothing and introduced my family in West Grove to it as well. They were surprisingly very into it and couldn't believe all we found on their property!
Did a little experiment today -- how many different things could I spot by sweeping with the net in one small area? The plant life is mostly Bermuda grass, Johnson grass, a few flowers...nothing spectacular. There's a creek nearby as well.
Ended up catching a few neat things! :)
