I had heard the myth as a child and found the article quite interesting in negating that myth! Thanks for reading and sharing your insight.

Interesting. I always knew they were not spiders; I had never heard the myth about being poisonous, even in my youth. But then, if I had heard it in my youth, it might have been expressed in Latin when it was still a living language.

[...] For those of you that were unaware, last week was National Moth Week. National Moth Week was a nation-wide push for hobbyists and scientists to survey moths anywhere, from porch lights to national forests. Though the Schrader Center’s moth night was rained out last Thursday night (and has been rescheduled for this Thursday), we have been able to do a several very fun and informative moth nights at Camp Giscowheco as part of our Junior Nature Camp program! Yesterday evening we were treated to a couple colorful moths at Giscowheco including the Ailanthus webworm and the Grape leaffolder, and some other interesting species such as a possible Walnut sphinx moth and an unidentified underwing moth.

Comment on Waterbot Data Update by Jake Francis

Thanks for the heads up Paul! The glory of Google fusion tables is that it automatically updates linked graphs, the downside seems to be that if you mess up the location of your graph it disappears. I don’t have access to the blog to fix the link, but it should be up and running first thing tomorrow morning!

The graph at top appears blank (all white) for me. No curves visible. I’m running Firefox 11.0 browser on a Mac. The same in Safari 5.0.6.

Comment on Come Hike the Trails to see the Spring Beauties in Bloom! by Jake Francis

Edna,

It does seem like the spring is getting a head start on us this year, but this is my first spring in WV so I do not know when our spring beauties typically flower in the park. I would be really interested to hear if yours come out a little early this year considering the warmth.

The information about spring beauty colors came from “Spring Wildflowers Of the Northeast: A Natural History” by Carol Gracie. The book is stocked full of awesome natural history information!
