@jmgconsult Thats a cool breakdown, thanks! I live on the very edge in the upper watershed and forget that I am part of it. I have improved my light setups, and have been lighting on most warm nights this year. Friday night was the best I had had so far with many new species for my yard, over 20! I am far behind in editing, but I have much more to add from the week. This may give me a bit extra motivation :)
That is very cool! Thank you
