Description

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.

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.

My blacklighting observations from Baggs:
