Lack of ids on bugs and spiders

I wonder if you were involved in the City Nature Challenge at all?
Those projects are sitting at 40% RG - so even willing identifiers are wading thru a HUMUNGOUS backlog.

For the Global project (no local project available) one third of obs are insects. Arachnids only 3%

31 K insects in that single project - which you can filter by taxon and/or location.
Wherever you can help to ID the grunt work - you free up the time and knowledge of taxon specialists for the truly interesting obs.

25% of IDs by 130 users
We. Need. More. Identifiers at any level - butterfly, dragonfly, sommer fly, not a fly. Every little helps.

PS this is one of the longest threads on the forum. IdentiFriday - where the latest post IS Arthropods.
