The best weekend in July to survey is coming up! Pencil in an Atlas survey between 7/28-7/30 and help us collect data across 15 participating states!

Today is #NationalBeNiceToBugsDay! Insects can seem scary, but they are an invaluable part of a functioning ecosystem. Instead of squishing an unwelcome bug in your home, try opening a window or relocating it outside — it doesn’t take much to be kind!

Do you have a favorite bug?

About 75% of all flowering plant species need animal pollinators for reproduction. As a result, pollinators contribute to ecosystem health and a sustainable food supply. Celebrate them this Pollinator Week.
