**Note: All parameters were taken at the start of survey unless otherwise stated.
Location: [redacted, private residence].
Time: 8:20 PM-10:00 PM
Temperature: 23.8° C / 75° F
Humidity: 67%
Wind: WNW 4 mph
Conditions: partially cloudy, transitioning to overcast within an hour. The previous two days had been filled with heavy rains and thunderstorms, leading to saturated earth and foliage. The quarter moon was to fall on the 30th, for what it's worth.
Surrounding habitat: Suburban neighborhood. Tree composition in home yard is primarily eastern red cedar, while surrounding acres host more deciduous trees. A small creek is within a short jaunt.
Notes: While waiting on insects to arrive to the light, I wandered the yard to seek wandering insects and other finds. These are included in the associated observations.
