Citizen Science

Citizen Science Opportunities

We have three ways in which you can participate in butterfly citizen science with Backyard Butterflies. There are many opportunities to assist researchers in gathering data. Primarily help is needed by recording butterfly sightings. The information that a citizen reports plays an important part in determining population losses and/or gains, patterns in migration, effects of climate change, and habitat losses.
