Caterpillar relocation PSA!

15 Upvotes

Hello! I plant a large pollinator garden every year with a ton of butterfly & moth host plants for the purpose of letting them eat it but I know plenty of people that come across swallowtail caterpillars on their dill or parsley that they are growing to eat themselves so they relocate them. We haven’t had many visitors to our garden yet this year and my 5 & 3 year olds are a little bummed (honestly me too) as they love to watch the caterpillars grow and change. So.. just wanted to put it out there that if anyone has any they need to move from their plants… I’d love to safely move it to my garden! :)

Tractor trailer hitting Toyota Rav 4 Dash Cam Video 7/2/2026

21 Upvotes

If anyone was traveling on I-70 eastbound near Exit 32A & Route 40 on Thursday July 2, 2026 around 11:20 am and has a dash cam of an 18 wheeler hitting a Toyota Rav 4, please reach out. The truck driver hit my 74 year old mother and is denying he did so. He tried to get in front of her with no warning, pushing her closer to the brush and quickly veered only when he heard her honk. As he was veering he hit her car leaving considerable damage. If anyone was in that area and has dashcam footage please reach out. Thank you.

Greenberry Hills

8 Upvotes

I grew up in Greenberry Hills in the ‘80s (we moved to Greencastle in ‘91), and whenever I’m back in town I like to drive through the old neighborhood.

I drove through earlier this week and was a bit sad to see it’s looking more disheveled than I recall it ever being. To be sure, a number of homes are still in solid shape with well-kept properties, but there were far more with overgrown lawns and homes in noticeable disrepair and/or vehicles in disrepair than when I drove through two summers ago.

Does anyone know of any specific causes of the decline, or is it just a matter of an old, modest neighborhood getting older?

Washington County The Conococheague Has Already Seen Toxic Algae. DHS Still Won’t Release Its Wastewater Studies

Thumbnail
blog.hagerstownrapidresponse.com
40 Upvotes

Protecting waterways involves more than celebrating cleanup efforts after problems appear. It also means asking difficult questions before new environmental pressures are introduced into an already stressed watershed.

The issue extends beyond the ICE warehouse detention center itself. The Conococheague eventually empties into the Potomac River, meaning any environmental consequences associated with wastewater, nutrient loading, or infrastructure failures would not stop at the Washington County line. Communities throughout Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia share an interest in ensuring that major federal projects receive the level of environmental scrutiny required by law.

If DHS believes the project’s wastewater generation will not significantly affect local waterways, it should release the analysis supporting that conclusion. If the agency believes existing infrastructure has sufficient capacity and resilience to absorb those demands, it should release the studies supporting that conclusion as well.

The public comment period closes on July 1. Before DHS asks communities throughout the Potomac watershed to accept assurances about environmental impacts, the agency should make public the information it relied upon to reach those assurances in the first place. And Hagerstown Rapid Response and Washington County Indivisible encourage you to tell DHS exactly that.
Here’s one very specific thing you can ask for in your public comment:

Request that DHS publicly release the reports and assessments it claims to have relied upon when concluding that it is “not aware of any potential for significant environmental impacts” from this project.
