Abstract:
Dragonflies have worked their way into popular culture perhaps more than any other insect, having appeared on clothing, jewelry, and in works of art, including tattoos. This insect is a beneficial one that devours mosquitoes, biting flies, and other pests to humans. One aspect of their activity that citizen observers report on to scientists is swarming--either in backyards, along beaches, or on migrations. Swarming is the gaping hole in understanding dragonfly biology, and Goforth relates how citizen observations are helping scientists close that hole.

Abstract:
Digitizing collections data has become a major initiative for the scientific community, but it is also a labor-intensive process that requires staff and funding. Museums are beginning to overcome this problem by enlisting the help of the public through citizen science transcription projects. Soon, citizens will be able to help the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science transcribe data through the new program CitSciScribe.
