Fun misadventures in bugworld, Domino edition

trap

The orange-juice trap mentioned earlier failed to catch a fly, let alone Cotinis mutabilis. In desperate need of footage for my sci-outreach campaign, I decided to try fiddling with the summer nocturnal insects instead.

Results of night garden walks a few days ago and today:

  • Many small (less than a cm) and medium (roughly a cm) click beetles on ground
  • Not a single carabid in sight, oddly.
  • Many moths on oregano inflorescences, including a pink sp (Pyrausta inornatalis). My camera is lousy at night flashlight pics though
  • No living Coniontis, despite many corpses
