Description

Not sure about ID... going off the spots on the tail. I saw either two or the same one twice.
Seen near Edge of Everglades trail. The road I walked west on was flooded in many parts but there were lots of cool nocturnal fish and other critters that came out after the sun went down. Frogs were also calling non-stop. I set up a blacklight but ended up spending more time looking around in the water than watching the sheet for bugs.The area south of the road I walked had been burned less than 2 months ago and there was a lot of nice plant action.
Video showing some of the aquatic and nocturnal stuff: https://youtu.be/D24h9Fww0xM
