Got this set up finally. I still have to build a larger filter, just have to borrow a drill. It holds 110 gallons . I put 2 of my larger turtles in and I'm watching them closely for now.

I just want to put this out there. I saw a post in a FB group by a woman who picked a wood turtle up from the middle of the road and took it back where it came from. That turtle will attempt to cross the road again.

An exciting find as I was leaving work this morning! This is a spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata)--the first I've ever seen in PA, though I frequently found them in Maryland. I reported it to PARS and I'm hoping to hear back from them. I think it ...

Alright Insectra, here we go. This is the cocoon I found over the winter next to the house. It was in a barberry bush next to a flowering crab tree. I am sure that was the host tree. We found a cocoon a few years ago in that tree, but it seemed ...

The arrival of two baby anacondas at the New England Aquarium took staffers by surprise. Why? Because there were only female snakes in the exhibit. 🐍 (WGBH News)

Here's a fascinating insect I met today. A beautiful example of Batesian mimicry, this "bumble bee" is actually a robber fly in the genus, Laphria.

A gorgeous male polyphemus (on my hand) and an equally lovely female promethea that came to my blacklights last night. I'm taking both to a 2nd grade Bug Day program and then they will be set free.

A big, beautiful, Promethea moth (Callosamia promethea) that showed up at my blacklights, tonight. She's full of eggs! I've got her in a cage overnight so I can collect some eggs before releasing her.

My first instar Hemileuca maia (buck moth) caterpillars are doing well on white oak. As soon as I sew some new sleeves I'll move these babies outdoors onto live branches.

A local wildlife rehabber brought this sweet baby to work for an x-ray. A tree cutting service dropped the tree this squirrel's nest was in and he and his siblings fell quite a ways. This was the only one who sustained any real injuries--a leg ...

Got lucky with this one.. I was picking up some equipment and walked over to the edge of the drive. I started hearing a hissing sound. Being that I was around a bunch of pipelines, I thought maybe a pipe was leaking. Took me a second to realize that...
