Mozzie Month Challenge
We are glad to announce we officially started Mozzie Month!
We are running this initiative from Feb 16th to Mar 27th by using either the BG-GAT trap or the iNaturalist platform. We are excited to check what mosquitoes we will collect, observe and register.
We are also excited about exploring what species are most observed and easily registered through iNat! At the end of March, we will organise a summary of all species recorded, the geographic locations where they were observed and their interactions (if they were blood-fed or feeding, resting, visiting plants, etc.). Check some of the recent observations that were shared on our project.
