Episode Synopsis

I was recently reading the May/June 2024 issue of "Science Scope," a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the "Citizen Science" section written by Jill Nugent.  She wrote an article entitled, "Caterpillars Count." Caterpillars Count is a citizen science project to monitor the seasonality and abundance of arthropods (including caterpillars) on foliage.  To learn more about this citizen science project visit their website at: https://caterpillarscount.unc.edu
