Be sure to include your name, phone number, the species name (common or scientific) of the invertebrate you saw, location, date, and number of individuals. If you have a photograph you are willing to share, please send it along. Click on the title above for an index of past sightings.The index is updated most days.

Fw: National Insect Appreciation Day – promotion

Jeremy Tatum writes:  I have received the notice below, which I thought  I’d post on Invert Alert.  We have had many truly excellent photographs on this site, and I’d encourage viewers to have a go.  If you have already posted a good photo on Invert Alert, you don’t of course have to ask permission from Invert to submit it to the “insect picture challenge”.  Your photos are your photos, so go ahead.

Hi Claudia,

 

June 8th is coming fast, this year we focus on the “insect picture challenge” to promote NAIAD. Would it be possible for you to share the information and the material to the people in charge of the newsletter or the communications at the ESBC? 

 

It would be great if your student committee could promote this also. We want as much people as we can to participate in the insect picture challenge this year.
