Covid-19 Virtual Herpetological Survey
Presented by the Virginia Herpetological Society
Saturday, June 27th

Our friends at the Virginia Herpetological Society are hosting the Covid-19 Virtual Herpetological Survey this Saturday! (Please note that this event is not being hosted by the Virginia Museum of Natural History.)

FROM THE VHS WEBSITE
Just because we are not able to herp together this summer doesn't mean we can't herp at all! This month, we will host a virtual survey state-wide! THIS SATURDAY, June 27th from 12:00am to 11:59pm, we encourage you to find as many herps as you can and report them to us!

All you need to do is tell us how many people are in your group, which county / independent city you are herping in, and which species you found! You can herp for as long as you want in any locality in the state of Virginia. To make it easier, we will have herpetologists available to answer your ID questions through facebook and email.

Please check our website to see which herps have been reported in your area. If you find a new species, please take a photo or audio recording (if singing frog) so that we can add it to our database. It's herpers like you who help us expand our knowledge of species range and habitat use within the state!
