FUN FACT!

They spin, they “think,” they look like leaves



Whirligig beetles are found on top of fresh, quiet water, spinning about like bumper cars. The have eyes split for double vision; the top of their eyes can see above the water and the bottom half can see below!

Ants have the largest brain of any insect. Combined, the number of brain cells in a colony of ants is about equal to the number of brain cells in a human.

A round-headed katydid usually resembles a green leaf, but be on the lookout for this rare pink form of the late-summer songster. Every year a few of these specimens turn up within their range, which covers a large part of the eastern U.S.

Hound Hikes

New for 2008, Hound Hikes let nature lovers bring their dogs to our pet-friendly trails. The one- to two-mile hikes are for dogs and their owners, and are led by a naturalist. Each dog will get a bandana and receive a paw print for each hike completed. Hikes are once a month on Sundays. Times and locations vary.
