Rainy BioBlitz Weekend!
Hey everyone,
It's looking a bit rainy this weekend.
Here are some ideas to get the most of the BioBlitz without getting soaked.
Firstly, remember that you're #NeverHomeAlone and you might be able to spot bugs or spiders around the house! There is a cool project on iNaturalist documenting species we share our houses with: "Never Home Alone: The Wild Life of Homes · iNaturalist" https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/never-home-alone-the-wild-life-of-homes
Kick off with #5onFriday , aim to get at least 5 observations uploaded to iNaturalist on Friday. This can be in your yard or across the road, no need to go on a hike!
Saturday night is #MothNight , leave a porch light on for an hour or two or try setting up a night sheet. You will probably get some visitors despite the rain. Or maybe you'll see some slugs and snails! Join the project to share what you see: "Moth Night 2021 -A Great Southern Bioblitz Project · iNaturalist Australia" https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/projects/moth-night-2021-a-great-southern-bioblitz-project
On Sunday we are encouraged to #ShakeATree (put a sheet or white tray underneath and see what bugs fall out!). However if it's a bit wet to be shaking foliage, you could try grabbing a handful of soil or mulch from the garden and looking through it on a tray inside to see if you can spot worms, earwigs, slaters or other critters. Pop them back in the garden after their photoshoot.
Finally Monday is time to #ListenAndSee. Try uploading an audio recording of something you hear, maybe frogs are out after the rain or crickets are calling? Also try grabbing a pair of binoculars or a magnifying glass for a different perspective, and upload something you've never seen before!
