Maybe a Missed Opportunity? Catching Swarms at Night?

[Jen]

Awesome slideshow pturley! And it was good to see that a night catch isn't as scary as I've heard 

[pturley]

The only thing that was really scary was that I was 8 feet up on a ladder, leaning on a very rotten willow trunk over a creek-bed.  The branch wasn't all that stable.

I did get stung (gloves took a few stingers as well), but only after I was done and took my jacket off.  One must have clung to my pants, then crawled up onto the back of my neck.

(Unfortunately, the slide show plays in REVERSE!!!)

pturley- "The only thing that was really scary was that I was 8 feet up on a ladder, leaning on a very rotten willow trunk over a creek-bed.

     The things we beeks will do to nab a swarm, right? My first swarm I was 6 feet up on a ladder with a 10 foot drop below me. My sweet elderly neighbor came out and held the ladder with one hand and her cell phone in the other hand.

you have to admit.. pics of "someone" hitting the water in that slide show would have added to the entertainment value!!
