The Butterflies in My Backyard project may have began in B.C. but it’s going national.

The volunteer-based project known as BIMBY is recruiting folks now who will be willing to capture photos on their ubiquitous smartphones.

“The 2024 season is about to kick off, and for the first time since the project’s inception we are calling for everyone in the country to join,” organizers said in a post.
