Default Island Bugs

There have been very few mosquitoes on the east side of Bear Island this season at the shore. I have not hiked up to the chapel [St. John's-On-The-Lake] this year. One frequently encounters them in the interior of the island. Found a large female dock spider carrying an egg sack on board our boat - caught her in a jar and removed her. I showed our "guest" to friends and relatives who were staying at our cottage, then released her in the woods with her egg sack intact.
