Nature
Insects & butterflies
624 species, from monarchs to bumble bees — July is the busiest month.
The restored prairie and savanna make Marine a good place for pollinators. Monarchs breed on the milkweed and are the most-recorded insect here, joined by giant and tiger swallowtails, fritillaries and admirals. At least half a dozen kinds of bumble bees have been photographed on the prairie flowers. Wetlands and the river edge buzz with dragonflies and damselflies — widow skimmers, pondhawks and meadowhawks — from June through September.
Naturalists have logged 624 species of insects & butterflies within 10 km of the village. The most species are recorded in July. Below are the 200 species with at least two research-grade records, most-recorded first.
