Have you ever wanted to identify an invertebrate but weren't sure where to start?
In this introductory workshop at the beautiful Ness Gardens, we'll be looking at the differences between some of the commonly encountered invertebrate 'orders' (groups). Experts from RECORD and Tanyptera will be guiding us through the features of each group and how to identify invertebrates to order level.
What to expect:
- We'll spend some time in the classroom learning about invertebrate orders and features
- There will be plenty of opportunity to get 'hands on' with identification and practice your skills
- Weather permitting, we'll be exploring the gardens with a chance to try out some 'in the field' identification
By the end of the session we hope that you'll:
- Have a good understanding of the features seen in the more commonly encountered invertebrate orders
- Be able to identify at least some common invertebrates to order level
- Know how to use this knowledge to help with more detailed identification (e.g. to species level)
- Gain some knowledge on how to make your invertebrate observations count for conservation through sharing your records
