Insects on Plants

I made a slight change to the first page of my seed library app to create a “bugs on plants” app. This allows anyone observing insect activity to more easily see the activity on the plants they tend to watch the closest.

https://stockslager.github.io/iNat/bugs_on_plants.html?user_id=stockslager&obs_field=7623

It requires either a &user_id param or a &project_id param. The &obs_field param will default to 7623 - “plant that the organism was found on” if none is passed in. If you use something like Nectar Plant, you’d want to pass in &obs_field=498.

The plant list on the first page is determined by the addition of a “bugs-on-plants” tag to the observations of the species of plant(s) being observed for insect activity.

The flow and pages are mostly the same as the seed library app.

whoops. I made a silly mistake. It should work w user_id now.

Cool! I tried it and it seems to work.

working on some updates. allows configuration of different observations fields via a .json. also added a bunch of additional filters (which are also configurable via .json)…

looks better on a phone. chrome doesn’t handle utf-8’s well. i really like that it’s possible to do all this on a $150 chromebook w a free GitHub account.
