Chapel Hill Public Library Bioblitz
|
Note: The below information is for a past event. We will likely do another BioBlitz in the future. If you would like to collaborate with us, please, contact us.
The Chapel Hill Public Library has teamed up with the North Carolina Entomological Society to host a Bug Bioblitz in Pritchard Park. We will start with an overview of how iNaturalist works and a brief instruction period before we head into the park. We hope to document as many insects, spiders, and other arthropods as possible using pitfall traps, cover boards, and beat sheets. Bring your phone or camera to help take photos of live insects. All insects will be returned to the wild after their photo session. After the hike we will upload our photos to iNaturalist where they will be shared with scientists and naturalists. Please wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes for hiking the trails. Location: Pritchard Park, 100 Library Dr, Chapel Hill, NC 27514 Date and time: August 20, 10:00am-noon Ready up upload images?
