Blacklighting for a couple hours in the Royal Palm area. I had three sheets set up from around 7:30-10PM. I have a lot more to post and will get to it in the next day or two!
Big thank you Natalie Mudd for organizing a great bioblitz here at Everglades National Park! I spent several hours volunteering with Tonya and Jesse and it was a lot of fun talking to park visitors about iNaturalist. I am looking forward to participating and helping out with more of these :-)

deceased dragonfly, found hanging off a lampshade.
AI consistently gave this species ID so I ran with it.
Seen after the Miramar Pineland field trip.
Thanks to Steff Leigh and the Broward Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society for organizing a great field trip to Miramar Pinelands! You can learn more about this awesome group of native-plant-loving folks here: https://broward.fnpschapters.org/
Big shout out to Jade as well for helping us find a patch of sundews and also taking me to one of the clubmoss spots a bit after the field trip.
It was also great finally meeting Anson, a young dude who has been finding all kinds of cool organisms!
