    Did you know that hummingbirds ONLY feed their chicks soft-bodied caterpillars? 
    Caterpillars Count! 

    Participants conduct surveys on the branches of trees and shrubs to monitor seasonal variation and abundance of arthropods like caterpillars, beetles, and spiders, and to establish critical baseline data for evaluating long term trends.

    The project can be easily carried out at:

    • Nature and environmental education centers
    • Parks and botanical gardens
    • School campuses
    • Private backyards
