SUMMARY:Webinar: Springers and Singers: The Art and Science of Observing Or
 thoptera
DESCRIPTION:Widespread\, plentiful\, and in some cases really loud\, Orthop
 tera (grasshoppers\, crickets\, and katydids) get surprisingly little atte
 ntion from naturalists. But these insects are everywhere\, if often extrem
 ely well camouflaged\, and anyone can learn to find them and ID them by si
 ght or sound. In this webinar\, Matt Pelikan will introduce the basics of 
 Orthoptera biology and ecology\, discuss their diversity in eastern Massac
 husetts\, and present a range of tips and tricks for finding and recognizi
 ng these interesting insects.\nThe Director of the Martha’s Vineyard Atl
 as of Life project at BiodiversityWorks in Vineyard Haven\, Matt is a life
 long naturalist who has conducted a decade-long survey of the Orthoptera o
 f Martha’s Vineyard\, documenting more than 50 species on the island. Ma
 tt’s other interests include bees (his current obsession)\, butterflies 
 (he compiled and maintains a detailed checklist for the Vineyard) and bird
 s (he’s a former editor of the Massachusetts journal Bird Observer). A 
 Lexington native\, he has lived on Martha’s Vineyard since 1997. You can
  learn more about the Martha’s Vineyard Atlas of Life at its website\,
