I set up two DJ blacklights hooked up to USB powerpacks facing a small storage shack(?). It wasn't facing an open area so not really ideal but I was pretty tired and didn't want to hike out to a better spot. I was happy to see a couple cool moths for National Moth Week.

Here's a video showing the DJ blacklights in action in Big Cypress National Preserve (FL) from Summer 2019: https://youtu.be/tavmTa7WoPk

Info about the cheapy DJ blacklights used on the second and third sheet, great for getting started with blacklighting: https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/damontighe/11836-diy-moth-light

Observed while visiting Grapevine for an education conference (SREB 2022). I was invited by the National Geographic education team to give a presentation on using iNaturalist in the classroom and had a great time presenting and also learning from the Nat Geo team.

I mostly stuck to the area near the Gaylord Texan hotel as there were plenty of woods to explore and blacklight at. I did also go on an iNat marathon on Friday the 22nd when I met sambiology and he took me to two really great spots: Cross Timbers Park and Tandy Hills.
I also went to LLELA shortly after to round off the day.
