I went into the field yesterday for work expecting to be met with chilly air and thunderstorms. Instead, it was comfortable cool and ended up with perfectly clear skies by nightfall. I did not get the soggy soaking of my gear and clothes as I had expected. Collecting was fairly poor. Not much out, most of what was out was teneral, or just recently hatched with soft bodies, the beginning of another cycle, in a few weeks or so we might see another spike in numbers. We were not alone last night either. How exciting, the mammal team was on the island where we camp and collect, mist netting for bats. It was a nice diversion. Their nets even snagged some large beetles for us.
