[HELICONIUS] Citizen Science project on color patterns in Heliconiini butterflies

[Maël Doré]

Hi fellow heliconiinists,

I am a PhD student at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris. As
part of our research on mimicry in tropical butterflies, we have developed
a game/survey based on the perception of Heliconiini color patterns. We
would like to welcome you to contribute to this Citizen Science project. It
will not take more than 5 minutes.

We invite you to put yourself in the shoes of a predator of the Amazonian
forest and learn to detect pairs of mimetic butterflies in order to avoid
toxic preys and catch edible ones.

Feel free to play as many times as you like, and spread the word around.
The more games we record, the more our study progresses.

Thank you in advance!
