Welcome and don't be a stranger! We welcome folks at all skill levels so don't be intimidated or ever feel like you have a stupid question. We've all done stupid things (even me!) and learned from it. Plus, this site is so helpful because we have people from all over the country and all over the world so we all have our own areas of expertise.

Example of a funny question I got at the museum one time...an older couple was planting milkweed for the Monarchs. And they were talking about looking for eggs and the wife asked in an unsure voice, "Do the eggs move - and are they yellow?" I didn't laugh and informed her she had milkweed aphids which are pretty much a fact of life if you grow milkweed. Especially tropical milkweed. Fortunately for me, we had some milkweed in the flight cage with eggs on it so I showed her what to look for. So really, if you have questions, it's probably nothing we haven't heard before.
