BAMONA + Citizen Scientists

Please Help
BAMONA aims to fill the needs of scientists and nature observers by bringing verified occurrence and life history data into one accessible location. Citizen scientists are invited to participate by submitting their photographs and observations. Butterflies and Moths of North America is an ambitious effort to collect, store, and share species information and occurrence data. You can participate by taking pictures of butterflies that come into your yard or you could suggest it as a school project -- whatever way is best for you please participate in this important project -- a large army of  Citizen Scientists can plot flight patterns and other interesting data on our beautiful butterflies, including taking lovely pictures and your help is needed as we are losing butterflies to loss of grassland habitats due to intensification of agriculture and abandonment of traditional farming land.
