Blacklighting at Coral Reef Park for the 2023 City Nature Challenge (CNCSOFLO). More info about this annual global event here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2023-south-florida-cncsoflo/

I had three sheets set up. Two on/near the southern walking path and another just barely inside the pineland. All sheets were lit with cheapy DJ blacklights connected to USB battery packs.

All of my blacklighting observations from this area tonight:
