Messages

Sometimes messages are loud and clear and easy to read. We especially try to do this with warnings. Getting to McCarthy is not always easy. Sometimes they need a little interpretation. Residents of the Wrangells really like their guns. But are generally kind, loving people. Sometimes we read messages from the past, but can no longer understand them. These petroglyphs are nearly a thousand years…

White-spotted Sawyer Beetle - August 2023 While at Wrangell - St Elias National Park, I overheard a group of people saying, “Ewww, that’s one of those long-horned beetles that is killing all the trees.” They were about to squash it when I said, “That is not a long-horned beetle.” That led to a quick discussion while two of them looked up long-horned beetles on their phones and I looked up “beetle with white spot on back.” They held up their phones and said, “See!” I held up mine and said, “A long-horned beetle doesn’t have the white spot.” They said “Oh,” and didn’t squash this rather nice-looking White-spotted Sawyer Beetle. Both beetles lay eggs in pine trees, but the Sawyer doesn’t carry the disease that kills the trees I can identify long-horned beetles because I found one on a trail in Canada several years ago and didn’t know what it was until we checked into our next campground. There was a big poster with warnings about invasive insects and there it was with its own corner. I said, “I just saw one of those on the trail.” The ranger nicely told me that they had been eradicated in the area. I didn’t argue, but after we set up, I brought back my laptop and showed her the images I had taken of a long-horned beetle sitting on a fallen tree. She called her supervisor and reported it. I don’t know what he said, but she responded, “He’s got pictures.” I ended up burning a disk for them of my entire hike so they would know exactly where I took the picture. A week later, we heard on the news that a section of forest had been intentionally burned to eradicate long-horned beetles. It was the trail I had been on. MWM
