When: Thursday, July 30, 7:00pm-8:30pm
Where: VIRTUAL!
Fee: $5 members, $7 non-members
The sight of butterflies fluttering around on a warm day is one of the most iconic signs of summer. These beautiful insects usually only live for a few weeks as adults, but they make quite an impression while they are in their full glory. There is a large variety of butterfly species in our area. Dr. Leslie Ries will focus on identifying the 20 most common butterflies in Northern Virginia. Participants will then be instructed on how to conduct a survey at home or in their neighborhood and upload data to eButterfly. ([link removed])
Even if you can’t take this class, please participate in Monarch Blitz ([link removed]) between July 24 and August 2. “In the context of covid-19, with limited ability to do field work, researchers now need your observations more than ever.”
Instructor: Leslie Ries ([link removed]) is an ecologist who focuses on patterns at both medium and large scales. She has worked in the fields of landscape ecology and biogeography with a focus mainly on butterflies. Her current research looks at large-scale patterns.
