A long, off-white moth with a bit of a snoot
An orange wing geometer moth that managed to get out of the pool without help, it's very yellow
A variety of ground beetle with a black body and orange legs that got fished out of the pool barely alive, possibly a strawberry seed beetle?
Two cricket frogs on lily pads, the one on the right a bit smaller and more illuminated by the headlamp; this one was calling just moments before but did not appreciate the spotlight
"Nightlife" is an understatement ngl
