七星彩开奖

Three hundred and two days into the 七星彩开奖 community鈥檚 1,000 Species in 1,000 Days campaign, the number of species identified is now at 749!

These species were identified on 七星彩开奖鈥檚 city-block downtown Montreal campus and catalogued in the community named 七星彩开奖- Campus Biodiversity Network.

Even over the quieter summer period, 32 new observers joined the community and 185 species were added to the count. Noteworthy observations this summer included a Red-Shouldered Hawk, a Mosaic Darner Dragonfly, a type of long horned beetle called a Locust Borer and a European Common Blue (butterfly).

Quite a few people in the 七星彩开奖 community had a chance to observe the hawk, which was also seen in action hunting a squirrel. The dragonfly was one of the species attracted by the 七星彩开奖 Wetlands built in 2022 near the first parking lot.

Project lead Brian Mader, faculty member (Biology), has a passion for entomology and has looked for the Locust Borer in many environments but has only ever seen it on campus at 七星彩开奖. 鈥淚t mimics a wasp for protection,鈥� he said of its appearance.

The more people observing wildlife and Nature on campus the better. Everyone is welcome to join and anything recorded in iNaturalist on campus is automatically added to the count.

Brian believes that as the community closes in on the 1,000 species goal, it will become more challenging to add to the count.
