A Nature Walk

Spring is coming, and that means that Florence Shelly Preserve is beginning its annual series of themed nature walks in the beautiful and diverse 400-acre wetlands area just north of Thompson, PA. Launching the 2006 program, on Sunday, April 2 at 2:00 p.m., is a fascinating look at aquatic insects led by Stu Slocum, an entomologist and retired biology instructor at Mountain View High School.

Early spring is an ideal time to peer into the mysterious, often unexplored world of mayflies, stoneflies, caddis flies, and others. They are now large enough to see in their larval forms, attached to rocks or clustered beneath them at the edges of ponds and streams. As the weather warms a bit more, they will emerge from the water. Mr. Slocum will discuss the life cycles of these insects and describe some of their individual characteristics. Black flies, for example, attach themselves vertically to stones so that, viewed from above, they resemble a thick carpet.

The types and diversity of insect species detectable at this time of year, explained Mr. Slocum, are indicators of water quality. For example, mayfly larvae are only found in unpolluted, well-oxygenated water, while other fly larvae prefer more stagnant water.

Adults and children alike will enjoy viewing some of the most common–and, in their later forms, most annoying–insects at this early stage of their life cycle.

Participants will meet at the parking lot one mile north of Thompson on Route 171, where Stack Road intersects. Some areas of the trail will probably be wet, so warm, protective footwear is highly recommended. For further information, contact Carol or Dave Clemens (570) 879–4244.

Hill Country Artists Launch New Season

They have permanent exhibits at the Montrose House, Pennstar Bank in Montrose and the County Office Building. They also have a large exhibit at the Fourth on the Green. Several of the artists also participate in the Artists’ Open House Weekend in Susquehanna County during the Columbus Day weekend.
