Entomology

Val’s most recent venture is the Fauna Project at the Wildflower Center, where she leads a group of Center volunteers throughout the grounds, surveying different species of animals. The weekly surveys began in late March. During the surveys, Bugh and others document their findings through photographs and occasional notes about species she is uncertain of and wants to investigate further. Then, she identifies and classifies all the species and catalogs them into a database that anyone can visit online at http://www.austinbug.com/survey/faunaproject.html.
