Urban Biodiversity Field Observation
How to conduct your transect survey:
- Choose a straight path around 20–30 meters long
- Walk slowly along the line, observing about 1 meter to either side
- Look for insects — flying, crawling, feeding, resting
- For each sighting, record:
- Insect group (if known)—Bees, Butterflies & Moths, Flies, Beetles, Ants, Wasps, Other e.g. dragonflies, grasshoppers, unknowns)
- What it was doing (e.g. flying, feeding, mating)
- Where you saw it (e.g. on flower, in air, on bark)
- If possible, take a photo of interesting sightings — this helps with identification later
