Dog Days of Summer

They are here; those hot, sultry days between July 3rd and August 11 when nature seems to quiet down with the heat. Insects, however, seem to be fine with the heat, so keep an eye out for them as they visit some of the blooming plants along the Maple Highlands Trail. There are some nice patches of common milkweed in bloom now and they attract a plethora of pollinating insects. There is an iNaturalist project called the Ohio Bee Atlas, so any bee photographs can beee contributed there. Also, the Ohio Odonata Society (dragonflies and damselflies) have a project in iNat as well; the Ohio Dragonfly Survey. So as you travel the trail, keep these projects in mind and keep the photos coming! Happy Summer!
