Join the Memorial Day Butterfly Count on May 25-27, 2013
"These new counts will give butterfly enthusiasts throughout the continent an opportunity to get out and enjoy butterflies while contributing to our growing knowledge of butterfly distributions, flight times, and abundance."
"All you need to do is to observe butterflies at one or more of your favorite butterflying localities (such as your own backyard) this coming Memorial Day or Victoria Day weekend and note what butterflies you’ve seen. "
Increase public enjoyment and conservation of butterflies by: creating a website for people to share their sightings; organize counting efforts in May and July; and establish local chapters for people to join.
There is a tremendous amount of information about bumblebees at this site. Check it out to satisfy your information needs as well as some ideas of what you can do on your own to help ensure the survival of native bumblebees.
