Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont Caterpillars Count
Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont Caterpillars Count.
Caterpillars Count! is a project that relies on citizen scientists (you!) to help understand some of the most important organisms in our ecosystems—caterpillars and other insects—by conducting surveys of the plants and trees around them. These insects are an important food source for birds and other wildlife, and they have economic and environmental impacts on our forests and crops. You can help us understand how the abundance of these bugs varies from rural countrysides to major urban areas, and from coast to coast. More information on the project can be found on GSMIT's website: http://www.gsmit.org/
