The annual Winter Bug Count was started by John Acorn in 2011 to document Arthropods – insects, spiders, and crustaceans such as sow bugs – in Alberta and Saskatchewan through December, January, and February. Accepted species include any free living arthropod indoors or outdoors and exclude pets, specimens, or pet food. You can contribute your own observations to this year’s Winter Bug Count using iNaturalist.
