Invertebrate Identification Workshop By popular demand, a hands-on workshop to build basic skills in identifying invertebrates will be offered for anyone attending the AES conference in Hobart this year. Perhaps you would like to identify different Orders of insects, or you may want to build skills in recognising particular Families and Genera in a particular Order. If you already have skills in identifying particular taxa you will be encouraged to share your expertise while also learning new skills! |
