It's 0330 and I'm fading fast! Mothman and I took a ride to Weiser State Forest in the Poconos to set up lights for Papaipema sp. moths. We had no luck at all with the Papaipemas, but we had great times black lighting for caterpillars! I saw more ...

On the 2nd of September I found a lovely mystery cocoon wrapped up in a serviceberry leaf. I posted pics in some of my FB groups hoping someone knew what would emerge. The best answer I got was "some kind of Geometer (inchworm moth)". Thursday, ...

I don't know where this snapping turtle was headed, but I made sure it crossed the road safely.

Does anyone else here keep ants? Its surprisingly easy, and fun! This is my prize Crematogaster sp. colony. The largest ant to the left of the brood pile is the queen; I caught her in July and now she's raised a colony of about 40-50 workers.

This is a spider who has moved several times due to my mowing the yard. It's difficult to mow and not tear down webs. It's OK now. Leafhead, this is not a common barn spider. Maybe a common 'yard spider'? Anyway, it's big. Here is a head shot and an ...
