Help to measure the Spiders!

With the new SpiderSpotter Data Analysis Tool, you can actively participate in generating scientific data! The online interface fetches spider observations live from the Citizen Science App and offers a range of tools to measure the size and the average colour of the spiders. Simply access the Data Analysis Tool and log in with your App account!

You can even select an option to just work with your observations from the App and export your measured data if you want to do your own analysis.
