A metallic green cicada on my hand.
Cicadas are extremely abundant at night here and this is one of the smaller species. This cicada is one of the many cicadas that are attracted to the lights at the veranda of Bambangan hostel. Only 16mm in length, excluded wings. Quite a pair of big eyes for a small creature.

found newly molted around ~12 pm, picked it up, and it stayed on me until it was finally ready to fly. finally took off from my back at 4 pm on the dot. it kept me company during field work for a few hours, and i guess i made a pretty good place for it to sclerotize and get its wings ready, where it wouldn't get snatched by a predator :-)

iNaturalist AI seems to really struggle separating types of cockroaches. Please provide a brief explanation if suggesting a genus or species and do not rely on the AI.

Set up one sheet lit by four UV "DJ" blacklights (395-400 nm LED) hooked up to USB battery packs. More info about this set up below. Low winds helped with photography but I had to leave by 10PM so the sheet didn't quite fill up like it might've if I had stayed till midnight or later.
Solo bioblitz of Long Pine Key for the Independence Day of Ukraine 2022 project. More info here:

I first biked up one of the LPK trails to try to find a rare grass, Sporobolus clandestinus, but had no luck. I rode back to my car and then biked to an area that had been recently burned. I finished my day by blacklighting and walking around HID 2020 looking for insects and plants I had missed so far. Had to leave around 10PM so the sheet didn't attract too many big insects.

This brings the strange Fulvus like Pruinosus count to three. This is making me wonder: Does Fulvus naturally occur in Louisiana?
