Pitfall Fellowship

The Fellowship of the Pitfalls, we study invertebrates at the Morgan Arboretum with #ENVB222. One pitfall to rule them all, and in the grasslands bind them!

BIG NEWS! We caught a #termite of what we think the #Nasusitermes family in the #MorganArboretum in Québec! This is very exciting because we have no idea how it got there, it is neo-tropical.... Any help on the matter is welcome! #ENVB222 #invertebrate #whatisgoingon

#tbt to when Pia lost her phone in S1, and then Éliane lost her phone too in S2! The same day that the pitfalls went missing... That day really was a Series of Unfortunate Events! Luckily the phones were found (unlike the pitfalls...) #envb222 #aseriesofunfortunateevents #pitfall

The fellowship and its pitfalls... Here is a nice picture of Sufyan being super proud of our pitfall traps. Luckily, these did not go missing! #ENVB222 #pitfalltrap #pitfalls #morganarboretum #invertebrates

Sometimes we got lost in the grasslands... The only way to communicate with the others was a vigorous waving of the nets! #invertebrates #ENVB222 #nets #MorganArboretum #grasslands

Our second data collection method! #netting This allows us to catch grass-dwelling and flying invertebrates. Here is a demonstration of how to net :D #ENVB222 #mcgill #MorganArboretum #invertebrates #grasslands

Have you ever wondered how a #pitfall works? Here are some pictures to explain it a little! #ENVB222 #invertebrates #grasslands

#tbt to when we realized the grass had been cut in the grasslands where our pitfalls were! 6 of the 9 were intact but the 3 left were never found again... It's quite a mystery. Dear missing pitfalls, gone but never forgotten. #ENVB222 #pitfalls #NeverForget #invertebrates #mcgill

Monday was our last day of data collection! Unfortunately it was too cold and windy to catch anything with the nets, but overall there was still some pretty cool stuff in the pitfalls! #ENVB222 #winteriscoming #invertebrates #pitfalls

[Pitfall Fellowship @pitfall_fellows]

Invertebrate identification is going pretty well! Here are some pictures of us trying to figure out what we caught :)

A beautiful invertebrate we came across on and wanted to share :) https://t.co/u0MUqVslZN

Check in soon to read our upcoming Blogpost on the project! #ENVB222 #pitfall #invertebrate #biodiversity #McGill #MorganArboretum

We use netting and Pitfall traps to compare invertebrate biodiversity in 2 grasslands (low and high human activity) at the Morgan Arboretum.

Setting up our #ENVB222 Twitter! A little bit about ourselves : we want to see if human activity impacts invertebrate populations. (part 1)
