Did you know that a group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope?

Dan Hribar captured this kaleidoscope of Viceroy butterflies on Joe-pye w**d at one of our field sites recently. It’s always a pleasure to happen upon beautiful scenes like this. Certainly makes the sweat and thorns and mud worth it!

If you were in Spencerville this week, you may have noticed us dragging ropes and anchors on the canal banks for our scuba team. Water clarity is pretty bad, so the weighted rope helps the divers stay oriented and on transect lines.

We were pleased to collect and relocate many live mussels ahead of proposed dredging this fall.

As far as what lurks beneath…? The scariest thing we found was trash: shoes, cellphones, holiday decor, fishing poles, and food wrappers.

Flashback Friday to our extreme wetland survey spree in Maryland!

This team suffered many a flooded boots, countless mosquito bites, heat, long days, Phragmites cuts, ticks of all kinds…and still had a great time!

When you love what you do, it still feels like work, but work that challenges you and opens your eyes to new experiences and places. Not to mention the beauty and biodiversity of wetland ecosystems.

There’s lots more to this adventure, so follow along as we finish the field season in Ohio and beyond!

A beautiful, bittersweet evening: Our last Frog Friday of 2026! The weather was perfect and the guests were plentiful and wonderful. It’s always exciting to learn that about a third of our guests are first-time attendees. While these education programs are but a small component of our business, we feel that in many ways, they are the most significant work we do. We love helping others see the beauty that we see in wetlands and nature in general. It renews our spirits and reminds us of the importance of the work that we all do as MAD Scientists. Thank you, Frog Friday Fans, for supporting this event!

Happy National Intern Day to two of the best! We are so happy to have you on the Team, Emma and Layne!
