Porch Finds 2021

My porch still supplies me with ample varieties of arthropods even after 10 years. Almost every night I discover new species that I haven't before. I don't use special lighting just a fluorescent bulb. I leave the light on about an hour and then I just poke my nose out the door and sees who shows up. Sometimes I get some bigger species like longhorned beetles and some of the medium sized moths ( I don't know what I would do if a cecropia moth showed up or any of the bigger silk moths) My largest insect to show up was a spring fishfly over 5 years ago but no matter how many or how small I always get something new
