Body is about 2 inches long. After my dog spent a minute sniffing it, it started walking away and even fought back and exposed its wings when my dog kept following. Insect is unharmed, I watched my dog only sniff.

Bioquip blacklight set up with the campground hookups at Mitchell's Landing Campground in Big Cypress (only one or two of the sockets had power). I spent more time photographing the other sheet with the little cheapy DJ blacklightings, mostly because I ran out of time (I got here a lot later than I should have).
The main highlight tonight was the large amount of imperial moths and Anisota (oakworm moths) that came to the sheet. I had never seen either species this far south (imperial moth was actually a lifer for me). I saw at least 6 in total of the imperials and around the same amount of Anisota moths. I was here three weeks ago and did not see a single imperial or anisota moth! The rainy season has definitely picked up since then so I wonder if that was a factor..
Other blacklighting observations from tonight:

I have no idea if I'm even correct. I am not a spider expert. It has a red back, but also yellow on the sides. As you can see, it is resting on a cactus. It has spun a web over it and further down. If it's venomous, I'll definitely keep my distance and respect the animal like any other.

This was the biggest black widow I've ever seen. The abdomen is about the size of a nickel.
