Google lens and butterfly project

I came across this Wired article explaining how Google lens can be used when exploring nature. The use of technology in the field has always been a personal interest because it runs opposite the popular misconception that technology limits such involvement.

I happened to have just used Google lens in this fashion and thought I would post this example. My wife and I have been involved in classroom projects for many years and one of the first was in support of a second-grade teacher (Pam Carlson) who was doing a butterfly project. We have been exploring updating what is now an approximately 20 old project with newer tools.

It has been a good season for collecting eggs and raising monarch butterflies. Here is an image of a chrysalis resulting from our collection of monarch eggs and the result from a Lens identification associated with this image. This is the screen capture of what Lens returned when asked to identify the image of the chrysalis.
