This butterfly can be easily recognized even by laypeople thanks to its unique wing pattern: the white marble butterfly Melanargia galathea is commonly observed in flower-rich, nutrient-poor meadows, such as those found in the Lower Franconia region. (Picture: Stefanie Timm / DLG)
At the BioBlitz, children get to know the animals and plants of our agricultural landscapes up close and can become researchers themselves for a day. (Image: Martin Wegmann / Earth Observation Research Hub)
Equipped with sweep nets, magnifying glasses and specialist literature, the BioBlitz participants take off into fields, meadows and hedgerows to record as many animal and plant species as possible. (Image: Martin Wegmann, Earth Observation Resarch Hub)
