I find collecting a specimen to study and ID when I get home is often much easier that relying on a photograph. Of course, specimens were encouraged during the first Atlas. What is the protocol/suggestion relative to specimens? Do you want them? and where do I get those wonderful glassine envelopes?
Hey @rstewart , is this question regarding the Vermont Atlas??
@kmcfarland , any comments here?
Yes… this is a question about collecting specimens during the VT Butterfly Atlas. What do we do with any that we may collect?
We are not collecting any specimens during this atlas. We have no permits to do so from the state or need at this time. Photo-vouchers only. Here is a link to the discussions for the VBA2 project - https://forum.e-butterfly.org/c/projects/vermont-butterfly-atlas/19
