This week’s Wildlife Wednesday (on Thursday, sorry…) is from a vacation to the Netherlands submitted by Numa. While we often see Mute Swan in Michigan, they are actually an Invasive Species here! Good news, this one is perfectly at home on a canal in the Netherlands. 🦢

This weeks Wildlife Wednesday (on Thursday… human error) is brought to you by Beth! 🎉

A few words about this image ➡️ “This dragonfly was very friendly, but I learned he was using me to attract insects it could catch! Fascinating how it sat in the same colors as the flowers.” 🌺
