When I visited Key Largo years ago, I noticed that when the mosquitoes were heavy, the Lepidoptera were out in numbers. When there was no mosquitoes, the Lepidoptera were scarce. The same for the Fakahatchchee Strand in the Everglades.
Nice video. Good try, mosquitoes suck (by design). I look forward to your continued pursuit of viceroys. I am currently planting a couple of Carolina willows as hosts on my NC property to add to my butterfly diversity as I have had them pass thru. Keep up the interesting content.
Haha. Do you know what species they are trying to control with that program? I heard that there’s like 50 species of mosquitoes just in the Florida Keys!!

Yep. I found the same thing for the most part

Thanks!!!! I appreciate it! Adding the willow adds some really good moths as well
So much for the DJ Eugenics mosquito ridding program

Fantastic. I’m glad you like the video!!!!
Love the twisty trap!
I know!!! Bro - we gotta chat!
Most interesting.
Thanks
It was a mosquito-heavy, poor butterfly year where I am as well
Crazy year for mosquitoes - from the Keys to North Florida spring/summer/fall it’s been bad!!!
what is the trap called?
It’s just a butterfly / moth bait trap
