It's cool bug time! 🐛 Here we have, in order, a cranefly (also known as a mosquito hawk, although they do not eat mosquitoes) in McDuffee Creek, a moth called Pale Beauty (Campaea perlata) at Lake Breeze Nature Preserve, and evidence of leaf miners, a type of fly whose larvae feed on the leaves of plants and leave a distinctive pattern. It's worth it to get to know your insects--you'll have thousands more friends to greet you every time you visit a natural area.

We are so grateful to everyone who has shown their support for McDuffee Creek Nature Preserve so far. Whether you have made a gift to fund the preserve's permanent protection or participated in a volunteer workday at the preserve, thank you.

You can make a gift to support the preserve on our website here: https://buff.ly/3yUA7Zt
For the month of September, you can also make a donation in the Grand Rapids Orvis store (@orvisgrandrapids) and get special in-store savings. Visit their store to learn more! And thank you for helping keep nature nearby.

Have you ever looked at this plant up close? Monarda punctata (horsemint, spotted bee balm) has beautifully intricate flowers. 🐝 This one was photographed at Wege Foundation Natural Area.
