"Elizabeth and I had the most wonderful time at the Big Bend Nature Fest (http://www.bigbendnaturefest.com/). These observations were made during the ""blacklighting event"" led by Chuck Sexton and John Abbott. We were swarmed by all sorts of cool new bugs -- it was super exciting. I'll be working on ID's for lots of these later on, but I did want to upload them first. I'll use a lot of bugguide, moth photograph group, and the discover life moth guide to narrow down ID's. Although, if you do know some, I'd not turn down any guidance! :) Special note: blacklighting is prohibited in Big Bend National Park -- a permit was required for this event to take place."

Had a BLAST doing some blacklighting with some serious moth-ers. :) Special thanks to Francisco with Ashgrove for getting us special access to this location. It was great. :) I'm just uploading these quickly now, but I'll work on the ID's later.

We tossed up a few blacklights and a mercury vapor light at the Texas Master Naturalist state conference. We were competing with lots of parking lights that were super bright, so there weren't a whole slew of bugs that showed up... Nonetheless, I think folks still had a good time. :)
