Let’s start a movement! Every Friday, aim to make identifications (or improve your existing identifications) on at least 5 observations. For an extra challenge, make sure at least one of those identifications incorporates some aspect that is new for you – a taxon you’ve never identified before, an …

Around 350,000 Unknowns currently in the umbrella City Nature Challenge at this moment. Out of well over 2.6 million observations, I suppose that’s not too bad.

Sob. The custom link on the sidebar of my dashboard - help ID for CNC - runs to 12K. NO rush. I have till Sunday night … 2K a day, easy :rofl: Going back to MY custom URLs which are light at the end of the tunnel. Down to 11K since others are hard at work too.

30.000 Araneae needs ID.. but other then unknowns I can tweak the filters a bit more to narrow it down.. the half of them are not too interesting for me anymore anyways. Will go with the ~4k possible disagreements and “not yet looked at” that come up when low=zoosection until the weekend

[image] DianaStuder: The custom link on the sidebar of my dashboard - help ID for CNC I guess I didn’t get that on my dashboard since I didn’t join any CNCs. What do you mean “runs” to 12K? Edit: I joined the global project just now. I wasn’t planning to do any iNatting during the CNC, but d…

[image] lappelbaum: did end up going to the Big Thicket Nature Preserve i went out there and to Watson Preserve, too, the other day. i didn’t find any orchids at Watson, but it was nice, and i managed to find 4 of the carnivorous plant species at the Pitcher Plant Trail at Big Thicket NP.

[image] pisum: i didn’t find any orchids at Watson I haven’t been there lately but the Beaumont Photography Club was there on Saturday and said they found a couple Calopogon tuberosa blooms. Spiranthes praecox is blooming right now in my yard. There are some at Watson but they can be harder t…

[image] pisum: i also didn’t realize there were terrestrial Bladderworts Yes, they are very cool! Their traps are underground and they catch microorganisms. Another terrestrial species, Rush Bladderwort, will be blooming a couple months from now. [image] pisum: entrance near the house. i…

I’m now up to 1,109 obs IDed during CNC including 645 for Baton Rouge, LA (identifier rank #2) 391 for Houston, TX (identifier rank #9) the rest are taxa that I’m subscribed to and a few for San Antonio, TX
