New to the Blog: on the right, below the Phases of the Moon, you will find the Daily Bat Fact. This is a new widget from the USFWS. Now all you bat aficionados can join me in learning more about bats on a daily basis!
Hi Ellen- New to your blog, and really excited to find it! I'm from Western NY, but live in the Northern Catskills now. Have spent many summer in the ADKS ~Raquette Lake area. Cool bat widget, they are interesting critters!
Hi Ellen, The firefly larvae you described below in your 2010 blog is a Pyractomena borealis larvae. They climb trees and vegetation in early spring looking for an aerial pupation site. Keep up your great observations! Lynn Wednesday, April 7, 2010 Adirondack Insects: Fireflies, Firefly Larvae, and Glowworms by Ellen Rathbone
