Last year on campus, a possible new species of jumping spider (Salticidae n. sp.) was found – previously only known from a tree fern in the UK. What will we find this year with your help? 

Take on the challenge. This event is part of the City Nature Challenge, a global bioblitz taking place all over the world!

You will be helping capture a snapshot of the wider Christchurch biota and contributing to the University's research using the iNaturalistNZ app.  

You will most likely learn something interesting about the natural world alongside experts and experts in the making. This event is suitable for all ages and abilities.

Meet outside the north side entrance of the Ernest Rutherford Building. Keep track of how we are doing in the City Nature Challenge on the City Nature challenge website.
