Walking around Robin's birding trail at night, mostly looking closely at vegetation for spiders and insects. I had permission to blacklight at Bill Baggs. Conditions were not ideal as a full moon and windy conditions limited quantity and quality of sheet visitors. There were almost no mosquitoes, a bad sign when it comes to blacklighting! See link at the bottom for details about my various set ups for the night and my 2024 CNC in general.

Blacklighting at Mitchell Landing in Big Cypress National Preserve. I accidentally overslept and didn't get the lights going until 3AM! An okay showing of insects but conditions weren't the best with a nearly full moon and my late start didn't help.
