Michigan, where I now live.

The link to the product has no price, I guess it's old school at this point. They cost about $120 apiece, we have 2.

We have Bushnell Trail cams. https://www.fishpond.com/Electronics/Bushnell-119436C-8MP-Trophy-Cam-Brn-NV-Clm/0029757012005?utm_source=googleps&utm_medium=ps&utm_campaign=US&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsqajz-z53AIVloxpCh3X_Q_AEAkYFCABEgIYMvD_BwE They shoot in color during the day and in black/white at...

Someone found an absolutely huge timber rattler under her car in Manchester this past week. Fortunately, she called someone to come and get it rather than kill it.

Not a fan of this law. There are alternatives to a total ban, this seems draconian to me. That's not what laws are supposed to be, at least not in this country. I am quite left-leaning, for the record.

Do they bring their eggshells up to the surface with them? I hope that's what happens.

Yeah, the larvae have six legs. Nymphs and adults have eight. I think they do that just to confuse people. They're jerks on every level.

Raccoons have dug up turtle eggs in my yard and it looked like that.

Tick larvae also have six legs. Chiggers are trombiculid mites (arachnids) that can look like ticks, but smaller.

Wow, look at them. That's terrifying.

They are almost impossible to see without magnifying them. Only the larvae bite people, and once you feel the itch, they are long gone, so it's difficult unless you know they are there. I can tell you firsthand, they exist in South Jersey. To find them, walk through waist-high scrub in...

You believe there are no chiggers in south Jersey? I do not understand.

When I was learning to raise mosquitoes in the lab, they taught me to feed them by sticking my arm in the cage, but recommended I wear a glove. I quickly came up with an alternative feeding method that did not involve my arm. Necessity breeds creativity.

So about that new invasive Bush Tick in the Hunterdon and Union Counties (Haemaphysalis longicornis): I am disappointed to note that everywhere they look, they seem to find them. The USDA/APHIS is going back to look at archived samples of what they thought were Haemaphysalis leporispalestrus, a...

How anyone can let them bite between your fingers, I don't know.

You can say that again. I cringe at the things I would have posted on facebook as a college student.

I have never seen a good argument in favor of getting one of these things.

I did a squash prep of a very tiny shred of one of the morels we picked this afternoon and these photos were the result. Nature is truly art, isn't it? 10x magnification 40x magnification 100x magnification under oil immersion. Every spore wears a little crown.

You mean you throw a deer at a bear if it threatens you? I bet that would work.

Well I am not sure how far off you are. There's a guy in my classes who works for the USDA and he says they are planning something called a "Tick Blitz" in Hunterdon and southern Union counties to get rid of the new Asian ticks that have established there. What does that mean? I have no idea.
