The pictures below were taken with one the new Ipads and microscopes
that were bought for the Park Rangers using money donated by the Saluda Shoals Park
Foundation. The equipment will be used
for education programs when school groups visit the park for a Park Ranger led
program. The mosquito and scorpion in
the photos were collected and cataloged by Saluda Shoals Park resident
scientist Dr. Lou Rigley. The mosquito
was collected in the park during Dr. Rigley’s mosquito study but the scorpion
was collected elsewhere and saved for research purposes. Dr. Rigley has completed his mosquito study
using the park as his primary research facility and has plans to conduct other
studies within the park. For more
information research projects in the park be sure to visit our website at www.icrc.net.
