Between upcoming graduation and finals this week, I've been a bit slow to do my share of the final counts from the Blogger Bioblitz (B3), but I finally found some time this morning.
First, some meta data:
Invertebrate species breakdown:
- ARTHROPODS: 87+
- Insects: 71+
- Lepidopterans: 32+
- Dipterans: 9+
- Odontans: 9+
- Hymenopterans: 7+
- Hemipterans: 5+
- Coleopterans: 3+
- Collembolans: 2
- Ephemeropterans: 2
- Neuropterans: 1
- Dictyopterans: 1
- Arachnids: 10+
- Aranaeans: 5+
- Acari: 4+
- Opiliones: 1
- Diplopods: 1
- Chilopods: 2

- ANNELIDS: 1+
- PLATYHELMINTHES: 1
Grand total of invertebrate species: 98+
