I have a Macbook Air because they last much longer than PC laptops. I went through about 5 PCs in 10 years or so. Yes, Macs are pricey. My husband got one in 2005 because he was a computer doctor at the time and had to learn Mac OS and hardware. He still uses it every day. The durability is...

Haha, awesome. That is the beauty of those things. Who knew what was lurking out there? We got a snap of a fisher cat really early on with ours. Keep setting it and you may be surprised at what else you see out there! I actually got a couple of still shots of some guy once (not a neighbor)...

I suppose it's possible, but rabies isn't all that common. The majority of raccoons have baylisascaris.

Digging up an old thread here, but Teegate, how did you get those? Did you just sit the camera set to shoot at intervals and leave it for a time? Or did you capture these stills from video? They are wonderful. GoPro cameras are just the best.

On my bucket list. A few hardcore friends like to ski Tuckerman's Ravine. I think they're out of their minds, and I think they would agree.

Baylisascaris procyonis. Shudder.

We have a Bushell trophy cam that was about $100. The battery life is great, although it takes AA's. They have lasted for months. The quality of the pics is not perfect but not too shabby either. Here it is in nighttime mode. It shoots in color when it's light out. I like it because you can...

Well, Raid will certainly do it. There is a reason pyrethroids are not labeled for application to the skin though. Sheesh. I sometimes use Repel-X for horses on my pants and socks though.

I am very sorry to hear they have found NJ. They are epidemic in Michigan and have virtually wiped out all ash trees in our area, including five very large ones on my property that we now have to cut down. It is devastating and fast. It takes two years for a tree to go from vital and healthy to...

I just thought I'd post a little brag about the morels we picked from the lawn in the back yard. (For the uninitiated, we are in Michigan, torn away from NJ a few years ago). We spotted most of them when they were small, so Joe flagged them and we watched them over the next week or 10 days, and...

I have found a few morels in Mercer county along the Delaware River, but never in the pines. The buzz out here in morel country is that you need fires and elm trees in order to create the right microenvironment to support them. I admit that I haven't looked that closely for them, but I can't...

NO. NO. No. No. No NO.

Those bastards! You probably know, but that is a female black-legged tick. They are cool and cold weather beasts.

Ah, thanks! It is hard for me to tell even from this if some of the smaller ones are deer ticks. I think I do see one on top, but can't be sure. My piney experience tells me lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum) are most common down there and they CAN carry Lyme disease, believe it or not, as...

Argh! The photo in this article has three different species- The only one that's the deer tick is the bottom one.

This is probably rude to reply to such an old thread. But I can't contain myself. This pic is awesome! The sticky roller thing is a genius idea and one I won't ever forget. I go out with a white drag cloth often to collect ticks just to see what's out there, and I rarely come up with any here...

D'oh! Sorry. I posted this before I saw Gibby's reply.

Eastern eyed click beetle, Alaus oculatus http://www.insectidentification.org/insect-description.asp?identification=Eastern-Eyed-Click-Beetle

This is amazing. I love how you can see his very full belly (crop) sticking out.

Oh good! :dance:
