helping the Monarchs - [news.mongabay.com]
I have wondered for years what would happen if all mosquitoes disappeared for the Earth. I got my answer yesterday when I saw a Covid program that discussed Bats. Bats eat about 600 an hour or more, that keeps the population of mosquitoes down and does much more for the Earth. Fertilizer is real good as it is rich in nitrogen. There was much more and I have a respect for Bats and I hate to say this but as much as I hate mosquitoes I now respect them. It is amazing to see just how Nature works and to see that everything supports something else.
I've planted common Milk weed , swamp milk weed , spider milk weed , butterfly weed and blood flower . Swamp milk weed is doing good common milk weed is hanging in , the spider didn't make it 60 plants in all . Next year I'll let them get bigger before putting them in the ground . All because of this group thanks Insecta . I saw one migration in the early 70s it was amazing they just kept coming for a solid week millions filled the sky . I don't know where the were going . It's good to see those companies putting the land to good use .

Posted by ZsterMy first Monarch since moving here! I started a butterfly garden two years ago, specifically targeting monarchs and swallowtails.

Posted by InsectraA cute grey treefrog (Hyla versicolor) that I found in my birch tree, this afternoon. His camouflage was great and I only discovered him when I heard him calling.

Posted by InsectraSpring amphibian migration in Pennsylvania is well under way! Most of these are Jefferson's salamanders, one of our earliest moving amphibians and a species of special concern in Pennsylvania.
