Exciting new "Construction" annotation!

In case you haven't seen the recent blog post, new Evidence of Presence Annotations have been added, including a "Construction" one! As people start using this, it should make it much easier to find caterpillar constructs. Since two big goals of this project are collecting specific information about caterpillar constructs and documenting caterpillars that don't build shelters, I am going to keep this traditional project going and I hope you will all continue to participate.

Two things you can do to capitalize on the "Construction" Annotation are:

• Add it to any of your observations that show a caterpillar construct. This will help people search for caterpillar constructs (for example, in the Photos section) even if they don’t know about this project
• Go through this search of Lepidoptera observations with a Construction Annotation that have not been added to the project and add them (if appropriate). It looks like there are already almost 700 Lepidoptera observations with this annotation!

Happy caterpillar hunting!
