Re: Zebra mussel's found in Minnetonka
That local resident was me and my Boys!
sent the DNR an email picture.got a call back that i needed to send the sample to the state. and that i needed to fix it in rubbing alcohol. couldn't find that, so put it in vodka instead. wrapped it in a paper napkin, and put in envelope. at the post office , they mentioned that it was too thick for standard post, and what is inside. me..."its a zebra mussel" post.."you want to send a zebra mussel with the postal system" me..."I was instructed by the state to send it in"..."OH and its fixed and frozen anyways" post.."OK" me.."look I'm not happy that i got to pay for this, so give me the cheepest slowest possible." after some change it went in on Monday. i think it arrived Tuesday. and wed they called back and asked if they could use my name in a press release. at which point i was surprised and said sure. what i found was a large 3/4inch specimen. they found microscopic young of the year.(also found a school of a dozen walleye but that is another topic)
