I walk by buglight
through a most querrolous path
in nights of ether.

It is a VERY humid #Buglight night, and while I am a little sad over the scarcity of moths, I have lots of spoods and other small friends documented 😍

A photo of the side of a green treehopper. The treehopper has a rounded rectangular leaf-like shape. It is pale green and its body is covered with a lighter colored vein-like pattern which further adds to its leaf-like appearance, the only interruption to this is its eyes which are dark red.

Buglight Theory undefeated, especially when the Boomer Bus is here.

"Buglight Theory" is a good name for this phenomenon as I already refer to customers who display this behavior as "mosquitoes".

I swear, one day I'm going to talk to a real behavioral psychologist about the way there will be like six people in my department and four of them will actively get in my way.

My going theory is that they're attracted by the activity which piques their animalistic curiosity.

Tonight's challenge mode, trying to take a photo one handed while also trying to adjust the manual focus ring (friend was on the other hand). The #BugLight adventures have been quite good tonight. 😁

I have still not been able to get the #BugLight set up 😑 Rain and or other issues have been relentless.

I did however last night have a close encounter of the Bunny kind. It wandered through the yard and came quite close, showing no apparent fear of me.

I now have UV bulbs again so #Buglight 2.0 will be taking form this week. It has been way too long since I have been able to hang with the night buggies.

A Lichen-carrying Green Lacewing, Leucochrysa pavida from earlier in the year.

Better things to do than watch that abomination in Texas.

Go shine some uv lights on a white surface outside and see what cool buggies come to it.

IF YOU LIGHT IT THEY WILL COME
