Young and old alike enjoyed this weekend in the activity "Night of Insects", with which parents and their children learned to collect and classify insects and participated with the results in the European initiative "European moths nigths ".
The "adventure" began on Friday evening with the participation of 30 adults and 16 children.
In Santa Ana del Monte and the hand of Francisco Lenci, entomologist of the Ethnographic Museum of Natural Sciences Jumilla, participants learned to collect Lepidoptera (butterflies) and Coleoptera (beetles), aided by a light tower installed for this purpose.
Once collected, specimens should be classified, with data sheets, and prepare them for storage in the museum's collection.
For this, participants met again on Saturday morning at the Ethnographic Museum and the Natural Sciences, in a day of data collection in which discovered the characteristics of the native species of Jumilla, supported by a video explaining entomology.
The data collected by participants will be given the corresponding national coordinator, responsible for sending them to the processing center of both entities.
This data feeds the GBIF network, an organization created in 2001 which maintains a global structure for Biodiversity, in order to provide access via the Internet, and free and open data to support scientific research way, promote conservation biological and foster sustainable development.
