RSM was introduced intentionally but has spread on the property. It was collected from a wild/waste area within WV so it's original source is unknown. RSM's native range (iirc) does not extend to WV? But it seems to do really well on this property. Elevation 3500+ Mon National Forest area.

Found what appears to be an exceedingly rare moth...on the wall at the entrance to the men's bath house at the National Science Camp. Who knew?

Thanks to @muscadine for identifying this for me. Couldn't find it anywhere (including on iNat search).

This was a shock and a half. What I mistakenly identified as a beaver soon became three river otters. But where's the river??? I also have a video and two other eyewitnesses (including the one who correctly identified it). Long, lithe mustelids with long, whippy tails. They swam, bobbed around, and even climbed onto the side of the bank for a moment. Did they air drop these in from planes like with the coyotes XD XD XD ?
