Pinery - Cedar Trail in May!
We began our Pinery Day at the Cedar Trail which starts near the Visitor Centre. Despite the cooler temperatures, we found insects in every patch of sunlight!
A possible Cherry Scallop Shell Moth flew down the trail and actually landed where we could still see it. The wing markings were stunning!
Hoary Puccoon, added a touch of sunshine to ground level.
A Slug species crawled across a fallen log. According to iNaturalist, most slugs are introduced in Ontario.
Whitman's Jumping Spider with spider prey.
By following a trail extension, we walked into the Dunes camping area and across a boardwalk to a viewing platform overlooking Lake Huron. Park staff encourage visitors to take photographs at designated locations and upload them to a website. Photos provide a record of the area over time.
