1. Take a photo
If possible, take photos of the plant or pest. Include a common object in the photo for size comparison. Take photos of the surrounding environment and key landmarks so we can identify the site.
2. Collect a sample
You can collect a sample of the specimen to help identify it. Write down the location and date that you collected the sample. Keep the sample secure so it does not spread.
