Friday Field Notes from Grootbos
Last week started with a visit from a real eco-warrior, the armoured dung beetle, spotted on the Grootbos Reserve!
This past Sunday was Mother’s Day in South Africa, and we took the chance to shine a light on one of nature’s most hardworking moms, from the insect world!
