Wow! You really did ‘hop to it’!

We completed our Gaudy Grasshopper expedition today! That’s 332 specimens in less than a week! Wow!

We’re making quick work of our 2nd expedition as well, the Short-horned Grasshoppers. Already at 75% complete! If you haven’t checked out this expedition and want to get in on it before its finished, it is part of the MI-Bug project here.

There has also been a lot of very helpful feedback on the project so far. Thank you for this and please keep letting us know what you think and how we can improve.

Thank you all and great job everyone!!
