Day 1 for upload and IDs!
I've just uploaded all my CNC observations and will be working the remaining time up until 9am May 5 to help with ID. We're creeping up to a 1000 observations for this year, so keep them coming if you still have observations to share :).
Please do help with the IDs, especially the fungi and audio recordings. Some families and genera can be tricky to tell apart (I am still getting stuck on Trametes versus Sterneum fungi). Fortunately iNaturalist is a welcoming learning environment filled with incredibly knowledgeable folks. So feel comfortable to tag curators and specialists and ask for help, and appreciate unsolicited help from others.
And as always, remember the recognition software in iNaturalist is a tool, but it's not perfect. Species like flies, worms and many invertebrates and fungi) can be especially hard to get down to family or genus, never mind species. Before going with something exotic that iNaturalist recommends, check the range map and think about the likelihood of it being that super rare organism with the closest occurrence in California or Florida, or Italy, versus a more common species that looks similar but isn't quite so exciting.
Looking forward to see what cool finds are waiting to hit research grade!
