Well, they didn't, and my attempt to see if my efforts at writing a guide to finding the Andromeda Galaxy from memory were hopeless or not, were thwarted.
Instead, now not having to worry about dark adapting my eyes, I took my mobile phone out and took some shots of the vegetation in my garden, to see if perhaps I could catch a sleepy silver-y moth on the ivy flowers or somesuch.
No such luck, although I did catch a sleeping harlequin ladybird on the crackly old honesty seed pods. But it is interesting to get a different view, albeit a rather washed out and overexposed one!

ReplyDeleteAn interesting exercise which worked well.
ReplyDeleteThose plants look so different in the dark. Isn't the ivy amazing at present - and in the daytime absolutely covered in bees and wasps.
ReplyDeleteIvy is an amazing plant and a wonderful food source for late flying insects...........
