I know this was previously posted on another thread, but I want to share the Save Shingle Creek petition on it's own post.
This development plan would not only greatly impact the Williamsburg community but also the surrounding neighborhoods like Hunters Creek and Deer Creek. This would be an absolute disaster for thousands of homes and all the wildlife that depend on those woods for survival. This area is not only a sensitive wetland but also headwaters to the Everglades. Please sign and share to spread awareness. Thank you so much for caring. 🙏

St Marks lighthouse
I took both of these from the water. It was one of the nights it was lit up and it happened to also be a full moon that night. There was also bioluminescence in the wake from our boat.

Imperial Moth sighting
Where I live is very rural, and there are no lights at night. Heavy growth of Longleaf Pine and varies species of oaks.
About a week back, and an hour after sunset, I had to pop out the back door to do something. Upon opening the door, I was greeted by the largest moth I've ever seen. After 30-60 seconds of bouncing against the back of the mobile home, it settled down so I could get a peek. Without question it was an Imperial Moth (Eacles imperialis), with a wing spread of 6-inches ±. So that tells me that somewhere back in the woods, there could be more. Next time I'll try to keep my phone handy for a picture. Nature is wonderful.
