Międzyzdroje - Walk through the Park

Today we got up and headed off for a long walk through Wollinski National Park (the lake yesterday was also part of the park). It was pretty much a straight walk through the woods to the town on the other side. There is a bison enclosure inside (though we didn’t go in) and it was so sunny and gorgeous out it was a perfect day. We found a strange spider, the ball is actually a marble gall wasp! We used the identifying app to learn that and then found out the wasps lay their eggs in a leaf with something that tricks the tree into diverting resources to it and building a protective shell over the egg. Then when the wasp is ready to hatch it eats it’s way out. I had never heard of these before so that was fun! Also found some weird wasp or something walking on the ground moving in a very strange way! It was a really nice walk through the woods!

When we got back it was on time to have a break then watch the sunset! Normally it is so cloudy when we are up here, but today was perfect!Okumaya devam et
