Hi,
Does anyone know of any organized blacklighting “communities” or clubs in the South Florida area?

National (international) moth week is coming up in a couple of weeks. Check out the website to see if any trapping events are listed close to you.

OK, I’m confused. What are organized black-lighting communities or clubs? I sort of thought most moth lovers were introverts like me. Why would anyone go meet a bunch of random strangers at night?

Because it’s fun? I’ve gone to my local Moth Ball for a number of years now and it’s always enjoyable, even though I almost always leave early and am home in bed asleep by midnight. You see good bugs (assuming the weather cooperates), you might meet like-minded people, there might be yummy food and drink - what’s not to like? And if you’re a true introvert, you can just melt into the darkness if anyone is chatty.

I had no idea such a thing was real.
Neither did I!!!
I’ve been trying to find people to blacklight with, precisely because I always do it alone bc none of my close friends or people I enjoy hanging out with appreciate nor enjoy blacklighting/macro photography, and in doing so I found there are organized clubs in different parts of the world.

Blacklighting is a lot of fun and I would love to be able to expand my “network” and meet up with likeminded people and learn more about the bugs of the night and photography!

If you ever come to my part of the world I would be more than happy to lend you my lights and power bank.
It can be fun to set up a few lights around an area and go from one to other with big groups. Beers in hands if allowed…
You can see some social mothing in Texas that I shot a few years ago here.
