An evening by the bug lamp

I went out for my first night light quest for interesting insects. The remarkable beetle I'd been hoping to see did show up. There are probably more somewhere. It will be interesting to see what the pitfall traps collect. besides loose sand.

I printed out my scanty invert list today. Now that I know what's happening, I'm convinced there's a lot to do. In addition to beetles, the lamp attracted moths and an ant lion.
