The article demonstrates that Sam Droege has such a broad knowledge of nature, which
continually amazes the rest of us mere mortals.
Our home in Herndon, VA (Fairfax County) backs to a wet wooded area, a designated conservation easement. In the 25 years we have lived here, we have never used pesticides. I have planted many native VA species. The result: we find worms in the soil wherever we dig. Best of all, The multiple lights of fireflies flying throughout our back yard brings us joy on hot summer nights after a rain storm.
Thank you for this article.
Great article and photos-we are lucky to have scientists like Sam around to keep us informed (and entertained!)-thanks-Lloyd
