As far as me IDing my own observation. You can believe that I have invested much effort into that. I have gone places and seen things that few humans alive have. I know of things that science has yet to discover. I spent 20 years living in and doing deep exploration into the Amazon Rainforest (in the 80s and 90s). Countless things I have observed, I do not have pictures of and cannot go back and see. Some of my observations that I am posting, I have been seeking IDs for over up to 30 years. Back in the early 2000s, one of my photos ( I posted on an online forum seeking ID) was requested to be used by Harvard, because it was the only known photograph of that organism at the time.
iNat is a breath of fresh air for me. The great people on here have already helped me tremendously. I am really grateful to be a part of this amazing community.
