#InverteFest April 2025
What is #InverteFest? It's a periodic online event where we invite you to celebrate the overlooked invertebrate fauna around you and share the joys of discovery online. The hashtag was conceived when @franzanth and @maureenbug went looking for bugs and slugs in Bali. @saimihanma, stuck in Seattle, wondered if we could invite our online friends to look for bugs and slugs together in spirit, even though we’re physically far apart. Besides, what may be an everyday creature to you is often exciting to someone who lives half the world away! #InverteFest happens three times a year: - The last 7 days of December, so you could bring your family along on a critter-spotting adventure. If you hate your family, we just gave you an excuse to avoid them. You’re welcome. - The last 7 days of April, which coincides with Northern Hemisphere spring. - The last 7 days of August, because it’s sandwiched right between April and December.

City Nature Challenge 2025
Join in the 2025 City Nature Challenge! Make observations of wild plants and animals 25-28 April, and take part in one of the largest community science events in the world while helping us better understand – and therefore, take care of – nature that lives in and around urban areas. Not in a participating city? No problem! Join our Global Project to have your observations count for the CNC no matter where you are. And consider signing up as an organizer for the 2026 CNC so your city can be an official CNC city! Not all cities use iNaturalist for the City Nature Challenge; you can find the full list of cities and their preferred platforms on the City Nature Challenge website.
Spine free zone! It is time for invertebrates to stand up and be counted. There are quite a lot of them apparently. Today's cartoon... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2025/mar/21/invertebrates-everyone-loves-invertebrates-which-is-your-favourite
