Thanks for posting your pics Mark. I think you're the only one who got pictures of people.

If we could review, I have two questions.

Please correct me if I'm wrong here
The ranger said a fen is fed by ground water. A bog is fed by a stream.

Did he also say a fen has sphagum peat moss, and a bog has something- I cannot remember, how the flora is different in bogs and fens.

the ranger also said, the pitcher plant has two insects growing in the water, which preclude the growth of algae. One was a mosquito larvae and I forget the other insect.

thanks

A fen is fed by ground water and a bog is fed by rainwater. I'm not sure about the other questions.

A midge, I forget the species. The midge was supposed to be the voracious house keeper.
Cheers.
