Set up three sheets in different habitats at Lake Wales Ridge WEA: Royce Unit
1: Edge of the Scrub habitat, lit by bioquip blacklight from 21:03-00:40
Winds were pretty strong, maybe as high as 10 knots making for difficult photography. It eventually calmed down later in the night.

3: Pasture/Wet Flatwoods mix, lit by 2 DJ blacklights and bioquip blacklight
I set this sheet up one DJ blacklight at around 20:15 but when I came back from the other sheets the light had obviously been off for a while. I put both DJ blacklights and the bioquip light on this sheet to end the night. Thankfully the winds had calmed down by the time I set this sheet up. Lit from 01:25-03:54

Did some blacklighting at A.D. Barnes park. I set up two different lights, this one was a DJ blacklight available cheap on amazon...read more here: https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/damontighe/11836-diy-moth-light
Location is fairly accurate, sheet set up near some cabbage palmettos along a trail

The other light I used was a bioquip light, set up on a wall (needed an outlet)
