🦟 Fun Fossil Fact Friday! 🦟

With summer almost here, today's fact is about a mosquito!

The mosquito trapped in amber in Jurassic Park is an elephant mosquito, one of the few mosquito species that doesn't drink blood (so it couldn't have held dino DNA). Instead, elephant mosquitoes feed on nectar, sap, and fruit.

Happy National Wisconsin Day! 🦴🧀

Did you know Wisconsin has an official state fossil? The trilobite, a prehistoric marine animal that lived hundreds of millions of years ago, earned the title back in 1985.

Long before dinosaurs roamed the Earth trilobites could be found in the ancient seas that once covered Wisconsin. Today, these fascinating fossils help tell the story of our state’s prehistoric past.
