I’m still working on my huge backlog of things to add to iNat, but I figured I’ve done enough for today. And then I saw that I hit 1,000 species without going over. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?hrank=species&place_id=any&user_id=lappelbaum&view=species (okay, so it’s 1,002 if I add cas…

In 2025 I made 575 observations and I observed 285 species. I also made 67,748 IDs, mostly from Argentina and Africa and I helped 7,159 people with IDs. 187 people helped me identifying my observations. Happy New Year!

I just, with a margin of 4 more observations, uploaded 1000 observations in 2025.

Alright, ringing in the new year! [image] [image] Thank you especially to the folks who helped ID my observations over this year! Got some great help esp on insects.

[image] That_Bug_Guy: Today, there are exactly 100 taxa for which I have identified over 1000 observations of! Wow! I only have four species I’ve identified 1000 of.

I set a personal record for Species/Year and Observations/Year, but the following statistic from my Year in Review page is what I’m most proud of. [2025 IDs]

The most impressive thing about your stats is that while 322 people helped you, you helped 53,296 :double_exclamation_mark: people!

A clean 14,000 IDs, 5,065 obs, 1,168 species, 400 annotations, and 22 followers!!! My numbers are increasing!!!

Thank you! Some of those are were definitely mine!

That’s my favorite number tbh, it’s the one that gives me the warm fuzzies.

I went on a little spree yesterday to reach 60k IDs. A couple others I recently got are 1100 leaf taxa in my yard and 2222 leaf taxa overall. Looking forward to 2026
