Female laying eggs on an outside window. The host plant is usually Spiderling; Boerhavia coccinea, based on prior observations, maybe she thought this location was safer. The adult measured 7 mm in length. Last 3 photos of 1 mm nymphs on 10/9/21 at 10:20 a.m.

Mom foraging in the trees nearby on a busy trail. Everyone seemed to be as respectful as possible. A little close for comfort though. Baby was napping about 30 feet up in a tree.

Looks like Catorhintha divergens
Observed during the 2023 South Florida City Nature Challenge (CNCSOFLO). I was walking the Mosier Hammock trail, waiting for insects to come to three sheets I set up with blacklights around the Long Pine Key campground and the hammock. Blacklighting observations from tonight:

Saw this at San Diego zoo couple months back it looked really cool and was feeding off the plants. It was also extremely fast. It was just getting resources I believe.

Blacklighting at Castellow Hammock thanks to Tiffany M from EEL! She was in the preserve with Dr. Lawrence Lopez and Stefan, Ashley and Giancarlo conducting research on land planarians and it was great meeting them all in the field :-)
I had two sheets set up, each lit by two UV "DJ" blacklights (395-400 nm LED) hooked up to USB battery packs. There weren't exactly a ton of insects at the sheets but I only had them lit from around 9PM-11:30PM. Wind was negligible in the hammock and it was very dark despite the full moon thanks to the forest canopy.
All of my blacklighting observations from this area tonight:

Found on a Texas prickly pear. Weather was cloudy in the 70s. Unsure if the small red bugs are its offspring but they were around each other.

Did my social distancing at O.S. Gray Natural Area today -- brought the bug net and did some 'sweeping' in the prairie area. Lots of cool bugs out!

Not sure. But probably at least this genus. It was on an open air store display.
