Insect counts 2010

Counts are a great opportunity to improve your identification skills. If you don't feel your level of expertise is high enough, you can always check with the Count organizer. Often you can go along with a more experienced person. I hope you'll join at least one in your neighbourhood.

On some of the counts refreshments or camping facilities may be provided. Don't hesitate to contact the organizers if you have any questions. They would appreciate you letting them know as soon as possible if you will be participating, so they can plan more efficiently.

Dates are subject to change! Please check with the count organizer in advance.

Everyone is welcome, whatever your skill level. Note that many of these counts are done for the North American Butterfly Association and that there may be a nominal charge for participating. Please be prepared for the count activity with sunscreen, water, hat, food and other items suggested by the count organizer. This list has been compiled by Carolyn King and the Toronto Entomologists' Association.
