| Welcome to the Big Bug Hunt 2017 international research project newsletter! | ||||||||||
| It’s official: Spring has arrived and with the equinox behind us days
are already longer than nights. Rising temperatures mean sowing can
begin in earnest. The new growing season’s here everyone!
Now is also the start of a major push to promote the Big Bug Hunt during 2017. The biggest citizen science project of its kind is working to track when and how bugs spread, so that we can create a clever pest-alert system to warn gardeners when pests are heading their way.  Whether you are completely new to the Big Bug Hunt or a seasoned bug reporter, we appreciate you getting involved by letting us know about any bugs you see. Your input is important because the more reports we receive, the quicker we can get the alert system developed. |
