ya girl was all up in the pine barrens today!

it’s been kinda dry so the blueberries weren’t as plentiful as i’d hoped – but there were a few huckleberries starting to pop out so that was a delight 🫐

Encountered this extremely spikey orb-weaver on a walk in the pine barrens this past weekend. It’s called a spined micrathena, and they love to make their webs across trails and clothesline ding dongs walking along the trail. Ding dongs like me. I about had a heart attack when i realized this critter was like an inch from my nose.

It's impressive from the top, but look at it from the side

Why no famous horror or fantasy movie has been set in the NJ Pine Barrens yet is beyond me. 🤷‍♀️ The color of that water is natural; it's from bog iron.

Hey, quick question. Is the Jersey Devil furry like a dog? Woolly like a sheep? Or hairy like a horse?

Followup question, if pine trees were the strands of hair on some horrifically massive eldritch beast, they'd be woolly, right? All those branches would act like barbs and snag together. You could spin them into yarn.

Theoretically.

Frightening beast of the Jersey Pine Barrens the Jersey Devil. This monster dates back to the early days of the United States. Declared to be a Devil by his own mother after being born as her 13th child. Even to this day it is said to still lurk in the pine barrens. There is even a festival held in there honor.

Pine Barrens of Riverhead, Long Island - November 23rd 2023

This July, join us for nocturnal nature appreciation in the New Jersey Pine Barrens! 

We'll gather at 7pm and do a short walk around the pond, followed by a few hours of observing the animals that come to a "light sheet", which will attract various insects, including lots of moths!

This location is great because we can reliably find carnivorous plants, and see a whole variety of critters. Previous Moth Nights we've seen snakes, bats, foxes, turtles, frogs, birds, beetles, and so many moths!

This year, we are doing TWO moth nights. One will be for a general audience, the other more art-focused. You do NOT need to be a professional artist to attend the art night. We'll just have more people painting and drawing than our typical moth nights! 

July 13: General Audience July 20: Artist Night

Things to bring: -Snacks & Beverages! -A chair or blanket -Bug Spray! -Headlamps/flashlights -Art supplies/Cameras/etc.

We see stuff like this:

Get tickets HERE for July 13 and HERE for July 20
