🌙 It's National Moth Week! 🌙

While butterflies often steal the spotlight, moths are some of nature's most important pollinators. With more than 12,000 species found in North America, these fascinating insects help pollinate plants, provide food for birds and other wildlife, and play a vital role in healthy ecosystems.

By protecting habitat and promoting biodiversity, we can help ensure that moths—and the many species that depend on them—continue to thrive.

🐍 Happy World Snake Day! 🐍

Pennsylvania is home to 21 species of snakes, and most are harmless to people. These often-misunderstood reptiles play an important role in our ecosystems by helping control rodent populations and serving as food for other wildlife.

This World Snake Day, take a moment to appreciate these fascinating creatures and the role they play in maintaining balanced ecosystems. If you encounter a snake outdoors, remember to observe from a safe distance and let it continue its important work in nature.
