Great topic. The easiest way for me to regularly photograph insects is below my porch lights. So when I started my yard survey in 2020, I’d check the porch lights a few times before I went to bed. Now I check them any time of night I happen to get up. I can’t imagine what my neighbors think about the crazy person in her robe with a giant macro lens at 2:30am. “Crazy Bug Lady” is my best guess. 
I’m at 2200+ species in my yard, the majority photographed under the porch lights. (But not all in my PJs.)
