Night ecology
After dark, the weather matters less like a forecast and more like a veil. Mammals and insects become the likely actors nearby.
Mammals tend to shift around heat, rain, and human noise, turning dawn, dusk, shade, and cover into the real local calendar.
Regional iNaturalist observations within roughly 50 km; exact public wildlife locations are not shown. Field-note copy is curated from taxon group, current weather, and regional observation context.
