No matter where you live, city or countryside, there are organisms that thrive all around us. We are hoping to help explore with you and uncover the amazing biodiversity living in your own backyards! Take photos and document all that is living with you in your backyard! You dont have to go far away to discover a new, rare or interesting species.

We are entomologists from The California Academy of Sciences and UC Berkeley who are particularly interested in exploring the insects living in your backyard! Thanks to support from the NSF, we have been able to develop projects that will uncover the wildlife that lives around us.
The Biodiversity Project was created by two entomologists who specialize in ants, Dr. Neil Tsutsui at ESPM UC Berkeley and Dr. Brian Fisher at the California Academy of Sciences.
