A New York man and woman face fines of $500 each after they took a raccoon to a pet store to shop for food and a store worker ratted them out, authorities said. A state Department of Environmental Conservation police officer got an urgent call from the Erie County Department of Health about a potentially rabid raccoon on June 2, the department said in a news release. The health department said a couple had brought a raccoon to a pet store for food and supplies and a store employee contacted authorities. Raccoons are considered dangerous wild animals because they are known to carry and transmit the deadly rabies virus. The officer used store surveillance video, a store-issued rewards card and license plate information to locate the couple in the town of Attica in western New York, the department said. The owners turned the raccoon over and were each charged with unlawfully possessing a wild animal, which is subject to $500 fine, authorities said. The raccoon that was c

Freddy Moyano Correspondent BROWN COUNTY – It's the busy spring season at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary. Curator Lori Bankson said staff and volunteers have cared for more than 500 animals in May alone. On average, the sanctuary takes in about 6,000 animals a year, so to have more than 500 in a two-week period, she said, is a bit overwhelming. Bankson said this time of year, the sanctuary relies heavily on its many volunteers as baby mammals, new to the world, sometimes need a helping hand. Raccoon kits This month's first rescue encounter was a raccoon kit (or cub) that was found on the side of the road after its mom was hit by a car. "This is very common right now," Bankson said. "Mom is trying to move her cubs someplace safe and fatal accidents can happen." A raccoon kit's soft paws enable their sensory touch, one of the most advanced amongst mammals. Lori Bankson Ph

Mike Hogan  |  Special to The Columbus Dispatch There are nearly 1 million known insect species on Earth, and just 2% of these insects are harmful to plants, animals or humans. Managing insects in the vegetable garden and home landscape requires an understanding of which insects are actually beneficial to plants or animals (the good), which are harmful to the plants we tend (the bad), and which are just strange curiosities of nature (the ugly). Most of the time, populations of insects that have the potential to cause damage to plants remain below the threshold in which widespread damage occurs because of biological factors such as the presence of predators and parasites as well as environmental factors such as weather and soil moisture. Beneficial insects, the good guys in the garden As opposed to eradicating all insects from the garden, a gardener's goal should be to create an environment where populations of beneficial insects thrive and naturally kee
