📜 EwA Week Recap: Missing Caterpillars, Field Events, Dog Vomit Slime Mold & more...

[EwA]

EwA was as busy as usual this week with the publishing of EwA seasonal newsletter, our weekly fieldwork, preparing our 2020 fundraising campaign (yes it's coming and we need you), as well as training new citizen scientists.

On the citizen science front, Caterpillars Count (which we partner with for our arthropod count survey protocol and database) mentioned EwA in their newsletter this month!

And BTW who came up with such a name! right? ;-) Curious about our records this week? > here - 1,051 observations total over 476 species! And I am still behind getting mine in... ツ 

Our phenology, entomology, and habitat documentation fieldwork are also as healthy as ever thanks to our group of core citizen scientists 🧡
