i've put red plastic wrap over my flashlight, but as soon as i turn it on, i see a ton of stuff go scurring away, much too quick for me to identify. is there anyway i can watch at night without them seeing? is red plastic wrap not enough? maybe my flashlight is too strong? any tips on night viewing?
 
I use a blue LED flashlight, and moonlihgts. I am not sure if it makes a difference but it works for me.
 
The red plastic wrap might not block out enough of the other light specitrums. You can try to tripple or fourth layer the wrap.
 
that helped a lot, i also used a less powerful flashlight, i think they can still see me, but they dont seem to mind as much :p
