Whenever someone posts on iNaturalist “I found this ant” but it’s an ant mimic I just feel so proud of the ant mimic. I think they should get a little award. Like there should be a little human-shaped icon next to their name with the count of how many times that species of spider, true bug, etc. has been ID’d as an ant by mistake.
I’m 2/3 of the way serious about this being a feature request. Don’t we want to know who the best ant-mimics are?
It makes me so happy to find these but now I need to learn about a bunch of spiders and true bugs so I can give better alternate IDs. Well, that’s how it goes I guess.
