Report for the July 2013 beetle blitz at Acadia NP

Chandler, Donald

From introduction: "The 11th annual bioblitz was held on July 12-15, 2013 at Acadia National Park, with a goal of collecting as many beetle species as possible over an approximately 24-hour period. After the introductory meeting on Friday, the target for Saturday was Mt. Desert Island, and the Schoodic Peninsula on Sunday morning. Forces were quickly marshaled on Saturday morning, for a pleasant and productive day of collecting on Mt. Desert Island. Each of the five previously identified priority areas had a team assigned, with the areas being: Bass Harbor, Canon Brook, Duck Brook, the Great Meadow, and Western Mountain. On Sunday it was free-form collecting on the Schoodic Peninsula, plus gathering of Lindgren funnel and flight-intercept traps with their specimens which had been set up earlier on MDI."
