Sierra de Baza in July 2017, in which 42 naturalists belonging to a total of 7 organizations from Spain as well as from the academic field have participated. Also noteworthy is the contribution of the informal group “Flying Dutch Orthoptera”, made up of researchers from the National Naturalis Museum (Holland). The day was completed with three talks related to biodiversity topic. A total of 585 species corresponding to the most important taxonomic groups have been reported.

Finally, we must emphazise Bioblitz meetings are useful for the scientific community and serve as a reference for managers of natural areas.
