WOW! What an amazing first day of my Center for Wildlife Studies shark field research skills course! We caught 4 nurse sharks, two of them pregnant- and one the widest I’ve ever seen. And we caught a young of year Tiger shark, the third smallest the program has ever caught!

Heard from my 8yo son's school that he got upset when a classmate squashed a spotted lanternfly. Why? His mom has edited many stories about them, so he knows they're established and killing them doesn't do much. I applauded his effort but reminded him that people have the right to kill bugs.
