I kept on mentioning about Issids with long snouts, but now I came up with something more extreme.

The Vermont Center for Ecostudies (VCE) is recruiting volunteers to help search fields and fens, mountains and meadows, and even their own backyards to help document the status of Vermont’s butterflies.

Hi Everyone!
Just want to let you know that the City Nature Challenge will be taking place between April 28th - May 1st for observations and May 2nd - 7th for identifications. This year the Boise Metro Area event will include all of Ada County.
I've tagged you in this post because you are either a top observer in Ada County or a top identifier in the area. We're really hoping that you'll participate in this year's event and help spread the word to your contacts.
