On Coccoloba uvifera

Walking around area A at night, mostly looking closely at vegetation for spiders and insects. I had permission to blacklight at Bill Baggs and wanted to give my sheets more time to accumulate insects. 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 Bill Baggs with permission. This was on the bathroom building lit by two blacklights hooked up to USB battery packs.

Full moon and windy conditions limited how many insects I got (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.

Not sure how to tell Argyria gonoframma from Argyria lacteella

Blacklighting at Bill Baggs with permission. I set up several sheets and this observation was from the sheet with the strongest lights: two Entoquip Entolights using the power outlets in the bathroom building.

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.

Blacklighting at Bill Baggs with permission. This was at a sheet I set up flat on the boardwalk (too windy to hang up). I lit it up with two blacklights hooked up to USB battery packs. Interesting seeing which insects were around the dunes!

Full moon and windy conditions limited how many insects I got (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.
