Bug on Stilts - Crystal Sobel

July 15, 2017 was the rare Charitable Research Reserve's community bioblitz in Cambridge, Ontario. I was a leader on a guided hike to teach participants about insects, on how to identify and collect them. We found this stilt bug (Family Berytidae) while sweep netting along Osprey Trail. The purpose of a bioblitz is to count all the species of animals, plants, fungi and lichen in a given area, usually a park or watershed, in 24 hours. This stilt bug was added to our species count using the iNaturalist app.
