Labelling
Labelling is an important part of collecting. It is important to make notes and labels every evening as this often becomes difficult after two days in the field. It is best to label with pencil as pen ink often fades.
Essential information for any label or record is:
- name of collector/observer
- locality name (at least country, region and name of nearby town)
- collection/observation date
Other useful data are:
- coordinates
- habitat description
- altitude
