While idly shining a blue laser light on ants while looking for toads, I noticed they immediately returned to the nest if they had just exited and then had the light shone on them. There's a research project in there somewhere.

ants are foraging at night. also noticed a lot of mosquito mating activity, such as insects around plants leaves. they did not seem to be the Egyptie species the legs were straight and they stood horizontal. tried many times to get a picture, but the camera over exposed with the flash and couldn't focus on them
