Caption Tuesday is here! Give us your best caption, or better yet an adventure tale oh how this happened.

P.S. Yes, she climbed up there by herself. Then she proceeded to rule over the Nature Center from her perch for a good few hours.

👟Squish, crush, or stomp these bugs!

🙁It’s rare that we promote the squishing of bugs, but that’s what we need you to do when you find spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula)! First reported in the U.S. in 2014, this invasive pest reproduces quickly and is especially damaging to crops. 🌿They feed on a wide range of plants including native grapevines, hops, and other trees and shrubs.

You can’t miss this bug—adult lanternflies are tan with black-spotted wings and red hind wings. They may be mistaken for moths or spotted beetles, but their striking wings set them apart upon closer inspection.

Want to help reduce spotted lanternfly? Their preferred host plant is the invasive tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima). Survey your property and remove plants if possible. Learn more about this invasive at ohiodnr.gov.

This Salt Marsh Moth often gets confused for their larger cousin the Giant Leopard Moth, however there are some key differences. The number of black spots and the size of the spots are less in the Salt Marsh Moth. They are also almost half the size of a Giant Leopard Moth.

While Maumee Bay is not a Salt Marsh they still thrive in multiple habitats. Those habitats include marshes, meadows, open wooded areas and farm fields.

Have you seen this small moth before?
