Now here's a critter you want to practice social distancing from! North American porcupines are large, solitary rodents commonly found in New England but less common in Connecticut. Although they are mostly nocturnal, they can be found perched in the top of a tree during the day or walking on the ground around dusk or dawn. Porcupines are herbivores and typically have 20,000 to 30,000 quills which cover most of their body. Thanks to Don for sharing this great video he captured in Colebrook! | Co

DEEP Foresters in northwestern Connecticut have been monitoring the situation with the spongy moth caterpillar infestation and are noting some impacts to the caterpillars from the maimaiga fungus (Entomophaga maimaiga) and NPV (nuclear polyhedrosis virus). Forester Jeremy Clark has provided a brief video about what is happening to the caterpillars. It is hoped the fungus and virus will continue to spread and kill caterpillars. While there is no promise of completely ending the infestation or dam

The long-tailed weasel is found throughout Connecticut, but its elusive nature makes it difficult to be seen. Weasels have incredibly high metabolisms, requiring them to consume up to 30% to 40% of their body weight daily! Relying on thick and brushy habitats along with residing in stonewalls, they primarily feed on small mammals, including mice, voles, and chipmunks.

The call of annual cicadas is a familiar sound on hot, summer days. Males are best known for their incredibly loud mating calls, created by a specialized sound-producing organ known as the tymbal that is located on the abdomen. As adults, cicadas have a fairly short lifespan and have only a few weeks to mate and lay their eggs. Despite the loud sound, their cryptic camouflage makes them incredibly difficult to spot, especially when calling from a tree or other vegetation. Have you been able to c
