Comments
• Fireflies and butterflies are harmless.
• Fireflies also known as lightning bugs are within the beetle family, but not all fireflies light up.
• Clean ponds and streams are crucial for a firefly’s survival.
• There are 20,000 butterfly species and they typically live only for a few weeks after they have transformed for a caterpillar to butterfly.
• The butterfly’s wings are transparent with scales.
• Monarch butterflies are the most endangered, and they taste bad to birds.
• I made a piggy bank out of a plastic waterbottle to raise money for butterflies and I donated the money towards Tanglewood Preserve.

They have a Not-So-Spooky Walk with delightful characters and festive decor along the way. It is beautifully lit and decorated throughout the walk in the forest. We encountered Alice 👗 from Alice in Wonderland, a friendly witch 🧙, a vivacious vampire 🧛♀️, a cute kitten 🐱 and Mickey Mouse. They even gave out candy 🍬 to the kids, which was a real treat.
The kids can also participate in Spooky Crafts 🎨. We made a ghost and hung it from the tree while we listened to the DJ spin 🎧, some Halloween time 🎵 and other top 40 hits we all know.
Their Spooky Walk 🧟♂️ was filled with masked characters of all sorts, jumping out at you and making scary noises and growls. It was our first time in amy sort of spooky walk in the woods and boy was I frightened. I screamed the majority of the time and held onto my sons father the whole time for dead life. There were plenty of children walking through it with adults and they were fine. I’m just a scaredy cat 🙀. My kid was good.
The Spooky Maze knocked more than our socks off. There is a chicken 🐓 exit halfway through 😆. All of the volunteers were awesome. Many of them were teens. They were yelling, “Fresh Meat,” before we walked through the clown face 🤡 entrance. The set up was done up so well. Although I closed my eyes through some of it bc I was so scared, I peeped it and a lot of thought and time was put into it, like our feature stories 😉.
If you get hungry, there’s a snack truck with everything from mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders 🍗, fries 🍟, spicy, curly fries, corn dogs, zeppoles, fried Oreos, funnel cakes, hot chocolate 🍫, coffee ☕️, lemonade 🍋, soda 🥤, water 💧 and more.

OUR PALEONTOLOGIST RATES THE JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION PROLOGUE. READ BELOW:
How did the dinosaurs and pterosaurs look? 9 / 10
For once in a Jurassic World movie, the dinosaurs look pretty good. Everything that should have feathers has feathers. Pterosaurs are known for being covered in something called “pycnofibers”, which are a little bit like fur (in some species they even look like simple feathers), and the pterosaurs in this prologue looked a little fuzzy, as they should. The body parts on all the dinosaurs look about the right size and shape.
How accurate was the environment? 6 / 10
It looks like the prologue is meant to take place in North America at the very end of the Cretaceous period, about 68-65 million years ago. The best places to find fossils from this time period are in the Scollard and Frenchman Formations of Canada, the Hell Creek and Lance Formations in Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas, and the Ojo Alamo and Javelina Formations in Texas.
There definitely shouldn’t be any baobab trees in North America at the end of the Cretaceous period. Those are only found in Madagascar. In North America, paleontologists mostly find fossils of trees such as bald cypress, metasequoia, monkey puzzle, palms, and magnolias. Picture something like the Florida panhandle. I’m deducting a point for the baobab trees.
The scene with the horned dinosaur herd was better, with more Hell Creek-appropriate palm trees.
The other obvious inaccuracy is the Giganotosaurus (the large predator that fights T. rex), which lived tens of millions of years earlier than T. rex and on a different continent, South America. T. rex is the only known carnivorous theropod of that size in North America at the end of the Cretaceous period. They should have just made it another T. rex, which would have been both movie-friendly and accurate: most T. rex skulls show extensive and often healed-over bite damage on their snouts, showing that fighting between them was common and intense.
The other slightly out-of-place animal is the ceratopsian (the horned, frilled dinosaurs). The prologue seems to be showing a herd of Nasutoceratops, which would have lived 8-10 million years earlier than T. rex (though in the same place, at least), whereas Triceratops would be the correct Hell Creek horned dinosaur. I actually don't want to deduct points for that, though, because I like that they went with a lesser-appreciated ceratopsian rather than the Triceratops everyone knows. 8 million years is a little inaccurate but not terribly so, and they both lived in western North America.
The late Cretaceous of North America is famous for not having any sauropods (the large long-necked dinosaurs)…instead, duck-billed and horned dinosaurs were the top large herbivores. However, at the very end of the Cretaceous when T. rex was around, sauropods like Alamosaurus began to creep back into North America through the isthmus of Panama, which had recently reconnected North and South America. The sauropods in the prologue look like a pretty good match for Alamosaurus.
I loved the inclusion of Chirostenotes (the feathered one eating the egg), an under-appreciated Hell Creek oviraptoroid. I loved that they showed a kind of pterosaur called an “azhdarchid”, which were like giant pterosaur versions of storks or herons. Azhdarchids were the main or maybe even only pterosaurs at the very end of the Cretaceous. There weren’t any pterosaurs like Pterodactylus or Pteranodon anymore (or they were so uncommon that we haven’t found any fossils of them during that time period yet). The Ankylosaurus (the ones with all the armor on their backs drinking the water) would indeed have lived at the same time as T. rex.
Overall, two points deducted for the *very* out of place Giganotosaurus, and two deducted for the out-of-place baobab trees.
The mountains in the background looking like the Tetons probably isn’t very accurate, either. In the late Cretaceous period, the Rocky Mountains were just starting to form, and would have probably looked more like the Appalachians.
How accurately did the dinosaurs and pterosaurs act? 8 / 10
The most obvious inaccuracy is the Giganotosaurus killing the T. rex, when even a common sense glance at their respective skulls can tell you T. rex is the far more powerful animal (and remember, they lived in different times on different continents). I have to deduct two points for that. But, at least it's more believable than T. rex getting killed by a spinosaur.
One very nice thing about the "past" portion of the prologue is that nothing screeched and slobbered with its mouth wide open (well, the T. rex and Gigo did a bit, but not until they were in the middle of their fight). Modern predators would never catch any food or survive if they acted that way all the time, and the Jurassic World producers resisted the temptation to have them screech like banshees at their prey, or for no reason at all. Yay!
The Nasutoceratops playing in the water was also very cute.
OVERALL: 7.5 / 10
