Finding Bugs
During the day:
Cover a large amount of ground scanning for antennae
sticking out of cracks and crevices.
Look in cracks, crevices, and holes with your 8 D-cell
light.
Look for structure:
- Rocks
- Rubble
- Cracks & Crevices (bugs like to have rock above
and below them and enough room to backup out of
reach)
- Caves (be very carefull. If you're not trained in
cave diving stay out of caves. If it's surgy, stay out of
caves.)
- Ledges (follow them looking for bugs)
- Eel grass beds
At night or twilight, use your light to look for glowing
eyeballs.
- bugs walk around at night foraging for food
Look:
- on vertical surfaces
- at the base of rocks
- on the bottom between the rocks
- on the top of large rocks
- out on the sand flats
