Under the motto “Méi wéi Beien – ziel mat!” @naturemwelt is calling on all nature lovers to join in this year’s insect census from 09-18 June! 🪲🦋🪰🐞
Count the insects in your garden, orchard, etc. for one hour between 10am and 4pm during sunny and not too windy weather. Make sure that the radius of the area under observation is no larger than 10m.
