We are inundated with bugs right now! I'm working on waking up early (I'm up at 445 this morning), so I'll probably be dragging my moth supplies out starting tomorrow morning. I'm too exhausted after caring for Jason since Friday night! Posted 4 years ago
I have tried mothing sporadically, but only get 1-3 per session. But, I am only mothing a couple hours early in the night at this point. So, it's not prime mothing hours. We are experiencing increased crime in my neighborhood and the police put up signs warning people to avoid being out at night, etc. Posted 4 years ago
