I'm trying to tach myself to identify native plants and animals and the magazine could help me toward that end. Wis. We usually provide common names and Latin genus and species where a species has several common names. Many of our captions describe a resource or environmental issue that species face. In those cases, we are more likely to describe the issue than expend the space to identify species. Your point is well taken.
Many readers similarly enjoy identifying species.
The article on arrowheads was excellent. My compliments to the author and photographer. We appreciated the help of several staff from the State Historical Society of Wisconsin whose loaned illustrations, projectile points and identified the specimens we displayed in the story. I'd like to update readers about Parfrey's Glen. An unusual flash flood in the summer of 1993 pretty much flushed out portions of the glen including some trees, other vegetation and the trail.
