It's Official! Back in February 2007 there was an article about Dr. Oliver Flint, the caddisfly expert from the Smithsonian Institute who found a new species at Mascot, VA. The new caddisfly is called Neotrichia dracacanamalama Harris & Rasmussen - the name means dragon-run swamp. "Caddisfly, is the common name for certain aquatic insects that resemble small moths. The wings of caddisflies are covered with small hairs, distinguishing them from the scaled wings typical of moths." If you'd like to explore the Dragon Run Swamp and explore for yourself we've got the perfect place to stay and enjoy the wonders of nature.
