Observations.be - Orthoptera occurrences in Wallonia, Belgium is a species occurrence dataset published by Natagora. The dataset contains over 35,000 occurrences of 46 occurring species, recorded by volunteers (citizen scientists), mainly since 2008. The occurrences are derived from the database https://observations.be, an initiative from the nature conservation NGO Natagora (https://www.natagora.be) in collaboration with Stichting Natuurinformatie and Natuurpunt. Standardized information regarding the occurrence's sex, lifeStage, behavior, occurrenceRemarks, and samplingProtocol is included as well. Generalized and/or withheld information: for some occurrences, location information is generalized to grid cells, as requested by the observer (usually to avoid disturbance or collecting). Observer name, toponyms, and photographs are not included in the published dataset, but are known in the source database.
