If you have any scheduled guided trips 3 day or longer my husband and I would be interested in joining. We are mostly interested in Yellowstone or similar ecologies.
Hello, I’m sorry to write here, wasn’t sure how else to. I am an educator at the South Carolina Botanical Garden and I am working on a flyer about fireflies for our families who can’t come to the Garden for programs at the moment. I wondered if I might use your image of the firefly larva for the flyer? All the very best, Sue Watts (watts9@clemonson.edu)
Sure, Sue, that would be fine (a worthy cause).
Mike
No problem, Sue. Yes, you are welcome to use that image for that worthy cause. Let me know if you need higher resolution.
Hi Mike,
I have a weird request that you might be able to assist me with. I am a nature educator, I run lots of outreach programs for my research group at George Mason Univ., and for local schools. I’m also a cicada fanatic, so much so that I wrote a book, The Cicada Olympics, detailing my experiences running big events with kids and their cicadas. My request… The Weather Channel wants to interview me, showing cicadas to kids, but I don’t have them in Northern VA (unless they magically appear east of Richmond this week – I’ve been checking). I might be driving through Raleigh area next week, where you do have cicadas. I’m wondering if I can call you and ask a bunch of questions about potentially working with a museum or a school with cicadas. I don’t have a set date yet. Would that be a possibility?
Thanks for considering.
Hey Cindy: Sounds like an opportunity. We have lots of cicadas here in Pittsboro. I’ll drop you an email and we can discuss.
