Dear Beetle Enthusiast,
We’re excited to invite you to Beetle Mania 2024—a week-long celebration of beetles, insects, and all things creepy-crawly! 🦋🕷️ From August 19th to 25th, grab your phones, cameras, and art material and join us on iNaturalist to document fascinating species, explore biodiversity, and maybe even earn a shiny certificate or two. 🎖️
Who knew beetles made up one in four of all animal life forms? So let's do our bit to make them feel special!
Dive into the world of beetles, contribute to our collective knowledge, and showcase your creative side with art, stories, local names, and folklore submissions starting August 20th. 🎨📝
We’ve also lined up some fantastic online talks and insect walks across different cities. Whether you’re observing, sketching, or just trying not to squish anything, there’s something for everyone.
For Complete Guidelines please see the About Monsoon Beauty 2024
For more details and to join the fun, check out our Beetle Mania 2024 project on iNaturalist.
Yours in biodiversity (and the odd squashed shoe),
The India’s Nature Team
