The nights at Stephen Foster State Park Campground were made more interesting by the assortment of insects attracted to our handy dandy 12 volt combination black and fluorescent light. Almost immediately after setting up the light a Polyphemis Moth appeared. It was soon joined by a Carolina Satyr. many micro moths, beetles and eventually a second Polyphemis. A great way to spend a warm summery evening while camping.
