More Info on Citizen Science Program: What Researchers Need |
||||||
Researchers need four pieces of data for each sighting of an adult that seems to have a caterpillar on its wings and for each sighting of a larva: 1) photograph of the adult or larva 2) photograph of the nectar source the adult is on or the foodplant the larva is eating 3) location 4) date you took the photograph This data sheet may help. |
See if you can identify the species--including the plant. Identifying a larva may be challenge, but give it a try. Reasearchers especially need photographs and data on larvae! |
You try: In the left two columns, see if you can see markings that look like a caterpillar on the wings of the adults. Then, see if you can match the adult to its larva. |
