Certainly
Diogmites and a male. I can eliminate several but still not to species. Interesting that a Diog came to lights.

At Lights
Maybe it wasn't behaving normally? It actually seemed quite weak/lethargic. Then again, that may simply have been due to the cool evening temps.

(BTW, one of my brothers is named Herschel...we've always called him "Herk" since childhood. Ever heard that nick-name form?)

Never
Been called Herk. Perhaps your brother is a Herculean body type? I was a skinny nerd. Now an aging fluffy nerd.
