GLOBE Mosquito Habitat Mapper: Getting Started

2
00:00:10.650 --> 00:00:16.820
Sample Collection

3
00:00:16.820 --> 00:00:21.020
For taking advanced observations additional tools will be needed.

4
00:00:21.020 --> 00:00:25.020
You will need: Something to collect water with

5
00:00:25.020 --> 00:00:32.880
Marker to write source of water onto container. A container to count and transport the larvae.

6
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:39.910
Make sure to protect yourself by wearing long sleeves and wearing insect repellant.

7
00:00:39.910 --> 00:00:50.220
Locate a potential mosquito habitat.

8
00:00:50.220 --> 00:00:59.130
Open the GLOBE Observer App and select Mosquito Habitat Mapper.

9
00:00:59.130 --> 00:01:06.410
Verify the time and location on the time.

10
00:01:06.410 --> 00:01:10.100
Select the type of habitat.

11
00:01:10.100 --> 00:01:19.120
Still:Lake/Pond/Swamp, Flowing: Still-water next to river or stream, Container: Artificial, or Container: Neutral

12
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.420
Water Storage Container, Discarded Item or Trash, or Other

13
00:01:23.420 --> 00:01:32.000

14
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:46.210
Photograph the site and its surrounding area.

15
00:01:46.210 --> 00:02:00.820
Are mosquito larvae visible in the water source?

16
00:02:00.820 --> 00:02:12.810
Would you like to perform a larvae sample and count?

17
00:02:12.810 --> 00:02:24.050
Collect a sample of water.

18
00:02:24.050 --> 00:02:37.440
How many mosquito eggs and larvae do you see?

19
00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:45.150
After counting the larvae, decide whether to identify the larvae now or star the sample to identify later.

20
00:02:45.150 --> 00:02:52.760
Don’t forget to label your sample!

21
00:02:52.760 --> 00:03:02.020
Enter any additional comments or observations.

22
00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:12.070
Before submitting your observations, did you dump out the water?

23
00:03:12.070 --> 00:03:20.610
If you’re done, send in Your Observations to share with scientists and other citizen scientists.
