Howdy! Welcome back to another Wildlife Wednesday. 🤠

It’s officially National Moth Week, and we’re shining a light on some of nature’s most underrated nighttime heroes—moths!

While butterflies often steal the spotlight, moths are just as beautiful and incredibly important—especially here at Guadalupe River State Park. These fuzzy-winged wonders come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and they play a crucial role in our ecosystem as nocturnal pollinators. In fact, many native plants rely on moths to help them reproduce under the cover of night.

Unlike bees or butterflies that prefer sunshine and blooms, moths get to work when most of us are fast asleep—quietly pollinating wildflowers, trees, and even some crops. They're also a critical food source for bats, birds, and other wildlife.

So next time you see a moth fluttering near a porch light, give it a nod of appreciation—it might be helping more plants than you realize!

Want to learn more? Come celebrate with us at our Mothing at the Park program this Friday, July 25th from 8:45-9:30 PM! We’ll have lights, sheets, and all the moth magic you can handle. Come discover the fascinating world of nighttime pollinators and see how many species we can spot together.

Let’s give these nighttime MVPs the love they deserve.

This resource is available for anyone struggling to cope with the trauma of recent events. My campground is up high a mile from the lake and was not affected. I wanted to share to help those who need it.

It’s very common in the wake of a huge disaster that survivors need counseling to cope with the severe trauma. I have interviewed a couple dozen storm survivors over the years and they all experience PTSD. If you know someone affected by the devastating flooding in the Hill Country, please give them this information.

Texas Flooding Emotional Support Line for mental health support at 833-812-2480.
This 24/7 crisis support line helps survivors & anyone affected by the recent flooding to heal.
Professional counseling at no cost.

Come visit the El Caminito trail. Pick up a guided prayer trail sheet on your way up the hiking trail. Write your prayer requests on a rock and leave your burden at the cross.✝️

I had my work cut out for me today. The storm brought in some mud but I got it taken care of quickly.
