We recognize the important role open data plays in furthering conservation goals and expanding scientific knowledge – it's why we created the Vermont Lady Beetle Atlas as a free public resource.

Our occurrence data is compiled from multiple sources: a historical publication from 1976, the Lost Ladybug Project, historic records and collections across from across Vermont, and any new species reported to the Vermont Atlas of Life (VAL) on iNaturalist.

You can explore and download all the data, which VAL and other cooperators share as a data publisher with GBIF using our data explorer.
