Time: ~ 8:50pm
Weather: Damp, slight chill but not uncomfortably cold. ~ 50-60F
Notes:
There wasn't much luck with finding specimens this second time around. The weather had been too cold or too rainy to even venture outside, and my window of explorative opportunity is very limited.
I was getting ready to go to bed, letting my dogs outside to use the bathroom one last time and as I stood out there I noticed a bunch of crane flies bopping around the light. So I decided to take my first picture--there were tons of them.
In looking for all these flies on the walls, I came across a little slug that was climbing up wet concrete. "Ah, they like moisture." I remember thinking. I unfortunately did not find many other slugs, but perhaps they were elsewhere in the yard.
It was unfortunately dark and wet outside, not ideal conditions for an amateur like me to go hunting for more creatures. I confined my search to my patio, and when I thought I couldn't find any more, I went back inside.
Hopefully the weather gets warmer soon.
