How to participate

It's easy, just look through your garden and collect any "pupa" you find. What's a pupa? It's a little (usually brown) cocoon that an insect such as a fly, moth, butterfly or wasp make before they become an adult.

If you find a pupae carefully cut it from the plant and place it in a clear plastic cup. Seal with plastic wrap and poke a few holes  with a pin for ventilation. Then, wait to see what emerges...

Upload the photos of what you found to our iNaturalist project page--"The Cabbage Patch Project" here

Didn't find any pupae? That's OK. You can share photos of other organisms you find visiting your garden on our iNaturalist page. We'd love to know who's visiting your garden =)
