Very nice. Like x 2

Saw pretty much the same -- boots and briefs only -- on the summit of Mt. Snowdon (Wales) in snow, foggy, 15-degree weather with -20 windchill a couple of years ago. We assumed that this guy lost a wager of some sort.

Thank you, John, for the ol' green square...!

From the language in the work order, it looks as if you cannot access Sawyer River Road from the east (North Conway, et al.) unless you are one of a group of exemptees -- for instance, persons who live in the area or have trade/business in the area, etc. (see the original order for the list)...

Yeah -- that was my thinking, too, from looking at the map that accompanies the order.

Fanning flames? I do what I can! (Thank you for the greenie!)

I could not agree with you more and many, many NH businesses are extremely thankful for this effort.

Agreed -- and if you check out the web site for the Notchland Inn, the same thing is being said: "We are open for business and connected!!! ... The Inn is only accessible by traveling Route 302 from the west however Route 302 is not yet opened from the East. You can also access the Inn by...

Off-topic, I've noticed the same this year in our gardens regarding the honeybees -- it is indeed heartening.

Thanks for the green square -- it's much appreciated!

Yes -- with the stress on the second syllable.

Indeed. And, there are several other species of ichneumon wasp in this area -- some very small and some about the size of a regular wasp -- but the method of operation is the same. Regular targets for the medium-sized ichneumon wasps are butterfly larvae, in particular, that of Tiger and Black...

Craig -- The route to the AMC Cardigan Lodge (Mount Cardigan Road to Shem Valley Road) is open. There's some minor erosion on parts of the road (beginning just before the farm with the Highland cattle), but everything is marked with orange cones, etc. Two areas on Shem Valley Road that were...

Ahhh, that wacky Jeremy. I always pictured him as more of a soft-shelled turtle, though...

Good point. The Nelson Crag Trail is excellent, in particular the section right after it crosses the Auto Road. Using it in conjunction with Old Jackson Road from Joe Dodge Lodge and some of the other trails mentioned here -- Boott Spur or Lion Head -- makes for a nice loop.

Thanks, Patrick -- I appreciate the green square. Anytime you need a bug ID, let me know!

Yes -- that is correct.

You're welcome, Kevin. Eastern Tigers can be tough to tell from Canadian Tigers, but in general, one rarely sees them this far north. The Canadian Tiger used to be a subspecies of the Eastern Tiger, but about 20 years ago was classified as a separate species entirely. It took me a while to get...

Thank you for the greenie!

Butterflies tend to cluster ("puddle," as it's sometimes called) in search of nutrients -- protein, amino acids, sodium, and nitrogen. It's primarily the male of the species that does this. (And yes, those are indeed White Admirals.)
