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

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

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.
