Thanks to the 333 people that helped my this year so far to ID my observations
Notice that I’ve synchronised my number of observations and identifications!
However, I have noticed a difference between the number of identifications I have on the Android application and on the website :
It’s not very serious, but if anyone has an explanation…
I had the great privilege to travel to South Africa for the last two weeks, which lead to me reaching three (for me) big milestones:
- 5000 observations
- 1000 species (ID’d to species level at least once) of vascular plants
- 1000 people having added IDs on my observations - Huge thank you to everyone who is among those 1000 (now 1053)!
I enjoyed seeing what you saw
In my home state, 12,000 total observations, 2,500 species, and 90,000 identifications. 750 of those 2,500 species have been seen on my moth sheet/UV lamp setup. As a collective, the state passed 1 million total observations and is nearing 1 million verifiable observations.
Happy fifth iNativersary to me! To properly celebrate the occasion, I’ve managed to upload my 10,000th observation.
Next milestone goal: 100,000 IDs, I guess.
Brava! Thank you for all your help. I think of you each time I work thru another bunch of Kingdom Disagreements - that is one finely crafted URL with filters that I do remember my source.
I just added my 10000th ID. (I missed the precise number, but just imagine there’s a 0 there instead of a 3) :D
Next goal: Either 1000 annotations, 2000 species, or making my number of identifications double that of my observations.
I hit 1020 Obs recently!
And 14000 IDs!
So, by the dashboard stats, I just passed 5000 IDs.
The number in my profile board needs to catch up, though.
(Not pictured: 6800+ annotations.)
Congrats! I try to think of the various numbers one can find for the number of IDs one has made to reflect the complexity of biodiversity. Just when you think you know something and have put it in a nice neat human box, the real world surprises you and reminds you yet again of the fuzziness of real species.
