I was introduced to iNaturalist when it popped up as the 3rd search result when I searched for a certain plant taxon, of which I do not remember the name. How were you introduced to iNaturalist? was it a friend? was it a youtube video? was it a Facebook group saying it was an ID app?

Wrote a post on fieldherpforum back in 2014 following a family trip tp Texas. In one of the responses I was asked to contribute observations to the herpsoftexas project on iNat. Contributed, and since forgot all about it until iNat started showing up in my search results years later.
