Coming Soon!

It's only 21 days away from the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse here in Ohio! Are you ready? Now would be a good time to start thinking about where you're going to make your observations during the day and what species or species you'd like to observe.

You can practice making observations by entering a general observation through your own account prior to the eclipse, just to get used to using the app.

If you have any questions, you can contact us at

Genus Trichius (Scarabaeidae, Coleoptera) in Europe

There are only 3 species:

-Trichius fasciatus
-Trichius gallicus
-Trichius sexualis.

T. fasciatus is the most widespread species and its range overlaps the other two species, but it's easily identifiable in most cases: all 3 species have 3 pairs of black markings on the elytra, and in T. fasciatus the most anterior marks touch the anterior margin of the elytra.

In the other 2 species there is a separation between the margin and the markings. These two have...

2024 Odonata Season

The 2024 season for dragonflies and damselflies seems to be starting later and slower than 2023. Locally, we have three damselflies in the Ischnura genus:
posita
prognata
hastata

In 2023 I started seeing all three in significant numbers in February. This year, it wasn't until mid-March that I started seeing more than just a few individuals. I should note however that the I. hastata really seems to prefer warmer weather and only showed up last year...

An infrequent visitor in our area, the most charming cat! It seems to be what perfection looks like.

Accidentals feel different, brighter, more emotional and seem to have more weight on the scales of impressions. This is only yours, this is luck, this is intimate and fill with energy, this is honest.
