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.

Testing out my new entolight. It only works with a regular wall outlet but I figured it will come in handy at some campgrounds that have hookups. Only had it running for about 15 minutes and had a good array of yard insects show up. I goofed and forgot to bring my camera with macro lens so the pictures of the tiny things are especially low resolution :-(
