Citizen Science: Butterfly Atlas

The Yale Peabody recently launched a project called iCBug.

This is a website that is used for identifying butterflies and
tracking sightings in Connecticut.  The site is based on data from the CT
Butterfly Atlas Project.
The site is available at http://www.icbug.org
It is optimized for your
computer, tablet and mobile device.  Registration is simple; you can either
register through the site, Facebook or Twitter.
On the site there are many search features.   You can search by name,
location or even characteristic descriptions. You can also track all of
your observations in Connecticut.  You can add what you saw, how many and
the location.  You can attach images and notes as well.  Your observations
will be added to the latest observations list.  The more observations you
add, the better the location search features will work for other users.
