Insect Soup – Grab a bowl and join us!
The Australian Museum, in collaboration with the Atlas of Living Australia, is developing a website and imaging methods that will enable online access to bulk entomology samples (insect soups). The website will include tools for crowdsourcing the measurement of abundance and diversity from these soups as well as the creation of image libraries that can then be mined by taxonomists for specimens of interest.
We are looking for collaborators who would be willing to contribute their own insect soup images and provide user feedback on the site as we develop it.
