Peek Under a Log

Trees live a long time - but not forever. Once it falls - whether limb-by-limb or crashing to earth all at once - it becomes home to new creatures.Next time you come upon a rotting log check out who's living in, on, and under it.

Things you might find:

• woodpecker holes
• centipedes
• beetles
• spiders
• salamanders
• a snake
• fungi
• moss
• ants and termites
• a tree growing out of it

Make sure to return it to its original spot if you lift or roll it over. And remember to sketch the neat log-life you discover.
