Webinar on Butterfly Identification and Survey Methods
Butterfly surveys are frequently needed as part of an entomological work schedule on a location. Information about the abundance and distribution of butterflies and moths is critically necessary for conservation efforts. It's crucial to determine the degree of activity in light of declining populations. There are clear and delightful benefits in maintaining or luring these lovely insects to a site for conservation or recreational purposes. Butterflies are typically regarded as good indicator species because they are particularly sensitive to subtle changes in habitat or climate. As a result, butterfly surveys are an easy-to-use and extremely useful tool for evaluating the effectiveness of management programs on a site and for influencing its future management. Join us in this webinar to understand about the survey methods and identification techniques with experts in the field.
