Monday Morning, and MIIDGE is Over (Almost)

Our glorious invertebrate interlude is over, and while I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep tonight, I feel a little sad not to be exploring new places and finding new bugs today. As of about 9:30 Monday morning, 390 observers have submitted 3,465 observations of 1,182 species. Tom Murray is in the lead for both species and observation, by far, with 409 observations of 299 species - and I bet he's not yet done uploading last night's observations. Even more astonishing, almost all of those observations were made at the moth lights at his house; he stayed up almost all night every night watching what came.

But our work here is not done - let's do our best to confirm observations and push every observation done to species level or as far as it can go.

Dave and I will be back next Monday with the final wrap-up of this escapade, but thank you all for playing along - it's been grand!
