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…

Just hit 10,000 observations! [Screenshot 2026-05-18 131100]

A joint achievement rather than an individual milestone, but today, the RG for Australian Loranthaceae nudged past 90% for the first time.

Wanted to share some statistics I’m proud of! Heavy identification of my primary genus Populus was something I picked up about two years ago. Since then: I have identified 20% of the total 60K research grade P. tremuloides. There are 8800ish left, right now. I’m hoping to drop that by half, plus th…

No.. But that would be very useful in addition! Thank you for sharing that! I set up macros, and I have a mouse with many buttons, on it. So I can basically annotate with just my thumb.

I wished I had at least half as many IDs as observations :face_with_peeking_eye: [Bildschirmfoto 2026-05-24 um 17.24.08]
