  • the scientific questions underlying the project
  • how to create their own Caterpillars Count! Site online
  • the recommended number and frequency of surveys
  • how much effort running a site would entail for a given level of survey effort
  • the two protocols for conducting surveys
  • some of the ways they can visualize their data
