You can help us track and the insect in urban environments by joining the project to put BMSB on the map. ● Representative elementary and middle schools in each of the 48 States are receiving this invitation to participate in the ‘March Madness Citizen Science Project to Find Stinky’ . ● Students and parents interested in participating in the project will begin  by taking an image of your BMSB. Then send your image to EDDMaps. Once confirmed, report your findings daily. ● Follow the guidelines on the BMSB Project website to get started.
