Set up a single Entolight blacklight around sundown at my grandparents' house before going to Rinconcito Latino on Coral Way for Abuelo Pepe's 86th birthday. Snapped some photos of what showed up after we came back.

Here is a link to all of the observations of what came to the blacklight (and one moth at a porch light): https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?on=2024-04-23&place_id=any&project_id=blacklighting-florida&user_id=joemdo

I did not bring my DSLR/macro lens and was just testing out the practically legendary (at least on iNat forums) Olympus TG-5 I just bought used. Photos aren't great but I may still need to mess around with the camera to get the hang of it. I might start using one of my two point-and-shoot cameras (Ricoh WG-30 or Olympus TG-5) in tandem with my DSLR macro to speed up the process of documenting critters that visit my blacklights! I'm thinking I can use the DSLR for the tiny or difficult to ID critters and the point-and-shoot for the bigger/easier to ID critters.

Video showing the more portable lights I use as part of a typical blacklighting setup:
