First night of uv light sheet hunting

[LarvaHunter]

Tonight I set up my uv light with a white sheet, I am curious if I can get any good species this early in May

Last year I started in mid June so this will be an interesting experiment.

Its cold out tonight (for me) so I don't know how good it will be, the moon is a waxing crescent now. I prefer darker and warmer nights, but it is dry out which is good.

I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Good luck! Hope you get some cool stuff!

Where are you located?

[LarvaHunter]

I'm in Central Florida.

I caught a cool beetle last night, but it is mostly small moths right now, I think within a month more things will start coming out, like longhorn beetles.

I'm still trying every night until they arrive.

Are you set up somewhere specific like a park, or did you just lay out a sheet in the backyard?

[pannaking22]

Good luck continuing to catch things! I'm hopefully going out tomorrow night to give it a shot with halogen bulbs.

I have it set up in my backyard, I have huge live oak trees all around my house.

I am planning to try other areas this year as well.

Florida always has the good stuff! They love that humidity.
