Default Endangered Species

Sketers need standing water. Don't be mad, but we don't have any on this part of the island. Never do. Plenty of spiders but very rare to see a flying insect. When we bought the camp, they did not even have screens on the windows. We have put them in just cause the few miscellaneous things that do come in are unwelcome. The bats seem to be able to keep up with whatever tries to live here.

It is damp enough here for ferns and moss to thrive but not for mosquitoes and black flies to breed.
