On Wednesday, March 25, the Marion Natural History Museum's afterschool group investigated some of the inhabitants of the vernal pools of Marion. The students heard about the nature of these pools and why these amphibians need this temporary habitat to survive. We took a close-up look at wood-frog egg masses, green-frog tadpoles and Water Boatmen, a fun insect that has legs like oars and can move swiftly across the pool.
