I have achieved 100 015 IDs.
Going to keep clearing CNC23 for the Western Cape (and done!)
and Pre-Mavericks for South Africa.
Then I will take a break till the Great Southern Bioblitz needs IDs.

Thank you! Sometimes I get into the zone and realize just how many identifications I’ve made!

I just passed my first anniversary with iNat, and have a few untraditional milestones to go with it.
I’m still uploading photos that I took before July 19th, and while I don’t think that I’m going to make my goal of 365 species, I may come close. We’ll see.
Right now, I’m sitting at just under 1150 observations, and like I said, I’m still working on the backlog. On the other hand, I broke 2100 IDs for others last night. I’m kind of proud of that one.
Maybe the accomplishment that I’m the most overwhelmed by is documenting three ode species that—so far as I can tell—have never been recorded previously at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. One is endangered. The other two were also lifers. (Sorry, I haven’t uploaded my photos for the Orange Bluets yet.) I confirmed breeding populations of the Double-striped Bluet and the Red Saddlebags, and have enough documentation to support a presumption of breeding for the Orange Bluet. That got me to ask one of the USFWS rangers if a formal ode species survey had ever been conducted on the Arsenal property, and if not, could I maybe volunteer as tribute. Don’t know what the lead conservation biologist will say, but if I’m out there all the time anyway, she may as well make official use of my camera.
All I can say is that it’s been a heckuva first year.

I just hit 1k observations! I’d been holding back some photos I love from my trip to the Bay of the Somme for the occasion.
My next targets are 300 species in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais area (should be fairly easy, standing at 290 right now and since I’ve stopped focusing on birds so much lifers have come much easier) and 2k identifications for others (standing at 1318 right now, I need to figure out a workflow on my phone since I spend so little time at home and get more keys and guides, especially to get inverts to family).

2500 species! New species are very slow now, I won’t reach 3000 for a while, maybe by end of next year? Depends when and where I travel, I think I’ve seen the most common 2500 local plants now and adding a new species at this point requires finding exceedingly rare plants. Or catching something other than plants, my 2500th species in fact was a random bug sitting at the train stop.

…and that’s where things become interesting - finding new species groups to learn about and document them. iNat and their experts can be so helpful in this regard.
Last October, I hit 4,000 species (‘leaf taxa’) for Vienna - took me about 11 years to reach that number, which makes it roughly one species per day.
I thought that would be near the limit and it will be very hard to reach the next 100 species, then 200, and possibly another decade for the next 1,000. Then the CityNatureChallenge came and I proved myself wrong: more than 100 new species in these 4 days alone! Last weekend I recorded the 4,500th species, and what a cool one!
That are on average 1.8 new species per day for the last 280 days. How did I manage that? I targeted plants that I missed so far, but also documented the phytoparasites on them. And I joined some night-time UV light events to attract insects. And some lucky findings, of course

3,000 total species in my iNat account, of which more than 2,800 are “verifiable”. 197,000 total IDs (185k for others and 12k for me) and close to 12,000 total observations.

I am always spurred on in the quest to reach the next round number. Today I hit this deliciously perfect three-way round milestone!

Yesterday I cleared the Pre-Mavericks for South Africa (the other side of our country is difficult for me as the vegetation is quite other - grassland and summer rainfall)
Next is Pre-Mavericks for the (Rest of) Africa. The impossible will take a little longer.

I hit over 1,000 observations yesterday! I’ve only been on INat for about 4 months and am disabled which often makes it difficult for me to go out so I’m super super proud of this
