Also, Soil Gnats, What's Your Deal?
Believe it or not, Millers are the preferred food of Grizzly bears in Yellowstone. (Feeling very “Ripley’s Believe it or Not”). We don’t get hoards, like the front range, but we started seeing them last week but then had a late cold snap.
They dig under fallen trees where the moths have gone to lay their eggs and scoop them up.
That makes more sense 😂
Grizzly bears! I had not heard that. Amazing.
When our ranger told us, it totally blew my mind trying to picture how many moths it would take to sustain let alone fatten up a bear.
I mean, do they just open their mouths and let a few hundred fly in!? I can't picture a bear hunting a moth on purpose.
