Bio Blitz 2023
During the growing season of 2023, a Bio Blitz was conducted at Red Stone Farm Wetland Mitigation Bank (RSFWMB). Upon completion of field work, a report was compiled of all flora and fauna observed.
John Howard, Senior Naturalist, of Southern Ohio Environmental Services led the effort. This included over 800 hours of volunteer observations from 40 individuals and scientists.
The Bio Blitz identified over 1800 species: 539 vascular plants, 38 mosses, 24 lichens, 46 fungi, 18 amphibians, 14 reptiles, 59 arachnids, 139 birds, 37 mammals, 14 fish, 481 butterflies and moths, 86 beetles, 82 bugs, 65 bees and wasps, 22 drangonflies, 35 aquatic insects, 38 grasshoppers and crickets, and 38 uncategorized organisms (snails, millipedes, and earthworms).
