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.

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.

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!
