Fiscal Flycatcher Babies Thrive
Our parting shot this week is of the fiscal flycatcher babies that were born a week ago in a nest just outside our office.
Under the Microscope: The Silver-Striped Hawkmoth
Meet Hippotion celerio, also called the Silver-striped or Vine Hawkmoth - one of nature’s incredible night pollinators!
This fascinating moth hovers like a hummingbird, sipping nectar from night-scented flowers and playing a vital role in pollination.
Known for its speed and agility, the H. celerio is a true survivor, evading predators with ease while helping our ecosystem thrive.
