Seriously, your extended light trap sessions are turning into a full scale field survey. Same is true of course for your plants and fungi. Don't underestimate how this builds up over time! Posted 7 years ago

  I enjoy doing it! It only takes about 10 minutes a night, and I never know what will be out there. Since the light is only on for a couple hours, I am not altering the insects' lives too much - unless of course they fall prey to a spider on my deck. Posted 7 years ago
