New this month in the Wild Green Store: fish hats! Wear these stylish and functional head toppers to let people know how you feel about fish, how fish feel about you, and if women want fish to want you to feel fear!
Click the hat to get it in the store:
This is what you wear to let people know that women want fish to fear you (a common thing people need to let others know). Works great for Tinder profiles! Source: dude trust me.
We sure do!
Anyone with this can at least say they have a nice hat!
Note: Fish design details may be different due to modifications by manufacturer.

While searching for rare flowers and pygmy rattlesnakes in Apalachicola National Forest last weekend, we found… Rare flowers and pygmy rattlesnakes!
First, the flowers:
A Chapman’s Fringed Orchid!
This is a Sandbog Death Camas, named for its habitat and toxicity. This poison plant is the only one in its genus!
Turtle socks, a type of small pitcher plant! These “pitchers” trap insect prey, which the plant uses to supplement its diet in the low-nutrient soils. They are a little overfull right now due to recent rains.
A Barbara’s button!
On to the animals:
This eastern glass lizard was just about the smallest one we had ever seen! It must have hatched recently. Eastern glass lizards are legless lizards, not snakes, and they are named for their ability to “shatter” or defensively shed their tail. People used to think they could reassemble themselves later, but unfortunately they have to go through the trouble of regrowing the entire thing from scratch.
This was our first pygmy rattlesnake of the night, what a little cutie!
It got frightened and tried to hide under the nearest shady object it could see - the arches in Moderator Danielle’s boots!
No snakes were harmed in the making of this delightful experience. He hung out there for a while, posing for pictures, then we took him off the road after Danielle carefully lifted her boot!

THE CROW Henry David Thoreau Thou dusky spirit of the wood, Bird of an ancient brood, Flitting thy lonely way, A meteor in the summer's day, From wood to wood, from hill to hill, Low over forest, field, and rill, What wouldst thou say? Why shouldst thou haunt the day? What makes thy melancholy float? What bravery inspires thy throat, And bears thee up above the clouds, Over desponding human crowds, Which far below Lay thy haunts low?
P.S. Have a bonus planthopper! We found this guy by shining a small blacklight at a shower curtain.
