Earlier this season a painted turtle was spotted laying her eggs inside the park. 🐢 We installed this nest protector to fend off predators and human activity! 🦊 Please avoid ecological integrity infrastructure in the park and report turtle nests to staff. 🥚 #DiscoverOP

Have you ever seen a moth this modest? 🧐 The modest sphinx is full of colour! They have bright red spots hiding on their wings! Moths play an integral role in our ecosystems 🌳, and they can be beautiful. All you have to do is take a closer look 🔎! #DiscoverOP #MothWeek

Don’t be spooked by this four-spotted ghost moth 👻! You might find them “haunting” forests 🌳, where their larvae are busy eating poplar roots, their main food source. For more cool facts about moths check out this blog: ontarioparks.ca/parksblog/5-mo… #DiscoverOP #MothWeek

Can you imagine never eating again? 🤯 Common Gluphisia Moths 🦋 don’t have to! They stop eating once they reach adulthood. Don’t worry: they aren’t going hungry 🍽️! Not having to eat saves these moths time they could spend looking for a mate ❤️! #DiscoverOP #MothWeek

Make sure to lock up 🔐 all wildlife attractants, not just food 🍎, but anything with a smell 👃! It’s up to all of us to prevent unwelcome wildlife encounters! 🐻 [Video: Two campers talk while sitting on a bench. The video fades to the Ontario Parks logo.] #DiscoverOP

You wouldn’t take dead wood from the forests at White Lake… "wood" you? 🤨 We hope not! 🙅 If you would, check out and share our new PSA! 📺 #DiscoverOP #OntarioParks #Forest #Nature

Just as these animals 🐻 share the forest with us, we share the park 🏞️ with them! Human infrastructure provides native wildlife with opportunities— but it can also pose risks! ⚠️ #DiscoverOP #OntarioParks #Wildlife
