An alligator was seized from a home in New Hartford after police said they located illegal marijuana growing in the residence. EnCon Police said they learned that there was an American Alligator at a home in New Hartford. During a home inspection, they located a 2-foot-long alligator in a small child’s pool in a bedroom. They also noticed two small children’s pools with pumps and water circulation equipment that police said are "consistent with the care and maintenance of an alligator." When serving a search warrant, police said they "detected the overwhelming odor of marijuana throughout the entire apartment.” Police said they also located the following items in plain view: Numerous marijuana plants, Seeds, Rolled joints, Hash oil, E-cigarettes containing hash oil with USB adapters, Packaging materials and equipment, drug paraphernalia and interior growing equipment including seed starter kits, sheets of foil, fertilizerand log books containing transactions and various species of marijuana. All these items along with the alligator were seized by police. The alligator “was turned over to a reptile rehabilitative and educational organization,” police said. Police located the tenant, Jake Ouellette, at his work in Wolcott on July 27. He was charged with illegal possession of an american alligator, illegal possession of marijuana over 4 ounces, illegal possession of marijuana w/intent to sell, illegal possession of drug paraphernalia w/intent to sell, and illegal manufacturing of marijuana.

Bugs are back at the Academy of Natural Sciences for an annual event that puts insects on display. "It's our 9th Bug Fest," says invertebrate specialist Karen Verderame. “And the whole museum is infested with the wonderful world of bugs.” Atlas Beetles, Tarantula Hawk Wasps and hundreds of other insects — big and small –will be in tanks stationed throughout the museum on Saturday and Sunday. Basically, there will be bugs everywhere says Verderame: “Many of them will be coming out for visitors to have a look up close and even touch some of them.” She says one of her goals every year is to convert the squeamish: “After the time they spend with me, I have them not only close to the insect, but touching it as well and going ‘you know what, that’s different. I didn’t expect that. It’s so smooth’.” Verderame adds the fun extends beyond the museum’s walls: “They’re touring the city. Look out Philadelphia. The roaches are coming. It’s kind of like Godzilla cockroach” And for those who are extra adventurous, a chef will be making bug based treats, such as chocolate chip cookies, chock full of crickets.
