If I remember correctly, iNaturalist currently recognizes the following kingdoms: Viruses Archaea Bacteria Chromista Protozoa Fungi Plantae Animalia For a total of eight. One of my iNat goals is to get at least one, non-casual observation of each kingdom. As of now, I am missing three: Arch…

weirdly, after looking for existing obs of viruses in UK, I stepped outside my door and within 5 minutes found what I imagine must be Dinocampus coccinellae paralysis virus on a ladybird. funny I´ve not come across it before today, I´ve documented a good number of ladybirds

[image] jasonhernandez74: Does this also apply to methane-producing organisms in, say, salt marsh mud? i think so. my understanding is that methanogens (aka methane-producing archaea) are the only significant biological producers of methane . so swamp gas would definitely be a way to indirectl…

Also I’ll have to check through old photos to check if I have anything else

This reminds me of something I came up with to celebrate the incredible biodiversity around us. It’s pretty simple: tally up all the types of life you’ve seen. You get one point for each unique species, two points for each genus, 3 points for a family, 4 points for an order, 5 points for a class, 10…

I’ve only done it a couple of times when I was much, much younger. It’s a scream, but yeah, possibly dangerous!

What about other animals, I think we have enough vids with pets and their gases? Something could be posted.

I have all of them! Plantae: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/60865861- Utricularia purpurea Animalia: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/50197804- Zalophus wollebaeki Fungi: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/55396000- Laetiporus cincinnatus Protozoa: https://www.inaturalist…

Viruses - Avipoxvirus :white_check_mark: Archaea Bacteria Chromista Protozoa - Dog Vomit Slime Mold :white_check_mark: Fungi :white_check_mark: Plantae :white_check_mark: Animalia :white_check_mark: Looks like I need to start looking high and low for some new things, or get a microscope!!

I have Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protozoa, and Chromista. Don’t know how to get the first three without a microscope, haha. Chromista is pretty easy- kelp. I have a few slime mold observations for Protozoa, they like damp environments. Only problem is barely anyone IDs them- out of 13 I only have f…

I have 7 out of 8. I just need Protozoa. (I see others suggest looking for slime mold.) I got virus only because some came with the bean seeds I bought. Unfortunately, Bean Common Mosaic Virus is not in the iNaturalist list yet. (I noticed some people submitted their positive COVID-19 test as a…
