Tentative ID. I will probably post this on bugguide soon.
Blacklighting at Ron Ehmann Park. Temps in the low 70's, moon around 28% although it hadn't risen yet.
I had two blacklight setups going in this area, both pretty close to each other. This is from the first sheet described below.
First sheet lit by a Bioquip blacklight connected to car jumper thing with a 12 volt socket. Other observations from this sheet: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?nelat=25.66646251245836&nelng=-80.34778778459454&place_id=any&project_id=blacklighting-florida&swlat=25.665797682335846&swlng=-80.34960381903161&user_id=joemdo
Second sheet lit by two cheapy DJ blacklights. Other observations from this sheet: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?nelat=25.666405455623483&nelng=-80.3494471898476&place_id=any&project_id=blacklighting-florida&swlat=25.665740625182814&swlng=-80.35126322428466&user_id=joemdo
All observations from tonight: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?nelat=25.667572521960977&nelng=-80.3455038041323&place_id=any&project_id=blacklighting-florida&swlat=25.664913203986394&swlng=-80.35276794188059&user_id=joemdo&verifiable=any
Info about the cheapy DJ blacklights used on the second sheet, great for getting started with blacklighting: https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/damontighe/11836-diy-moth-light
Here's a video showing the DJ blacklights in action at the Pinecrest campground (Big Cypress) during Summer 2019: https://youtu.be/tavmTa7WoPk

I came out here because there is a cold front coming and wanted to take advantage of the warmer weather and darker night before the front rolls in (temps are supposed to drop to the 30's in a couple days- first time in over 10 years).

Photographing what I think was a southern quahog clam and found several organisms on the underside... two bright red mites, several beetles (?) and also some amphipods, not to mention the encrusting organism underneath! I wish I would've taken out my DSLR camera with macro lens but the weather was bad so I had to settle with my little point-and-shoot.
Stopped for a break on my way to East Cape. Light to heavy rain.
Seen on a three day solo camping trip to East Cape in Everglades National Park (Cape Sable). I was particularly excited to go shelling on the beach (did not collect any shells, as that is prohibited in ENP) and also try some blacklighting out there.

Gonna be a while before I finish posting everything and before I finish writing up this journal post summing up the trip but eventually there will be more info here: https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/joemdo/72888-nov-21-nov-23-2022-east-cape-sable-camping
I am also planning on posting some videos to youtube over the next week or so but I'm prioritizing adding my observations first! Here's a link to my channel in case you want to see subscribe to see some videos about this trip: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Exy70GX48bo6JCDqqRrtw

Please let me know what this is as it doesn’t look like fleas I have seen in California and can be squished with my fingers
