Let’s have a Discussion! What really is the difference?

Just leaving this here from the Nature Comics thread…XKCD nails it again.

Welcome, Professor P!

AI-squito!

Broccoli, kale, cabbage, kohlrabi: Delicious.
Cauliflower, Brussels sprouts: Not so much.

…Shh! Don’t tell Matpat, we don’t need any more mind blowing Pokemon theories!

There’s no “weed” in Nature right?

Plenty of weed growing in the ditches in Iowa :)

Get it? Cuz it was never had it’s hand in Cucumis melo Domestication.

File names perhaps?

I just checked, and yes-- there is an iNat user who goes by ‘yosemite_sam’.

i laughed so hard :rofl:

I was confused too, and I read the manual at https://ala.org.au/app/uploads/2024/04/A_Guide_to_iNaturalist_Apr2024-1.pdf

Date is accurate: say If you know for certain such species occurs only in one season but then you see a different date in observation
Locoation is accurate: when the habitat is too off in pic from GPS coordinates habitat as there can be GPS errors
Evidence of organism: well I have seen people upload sunset, and this one is main marker for those
Recent evidence: Fossils are not allowed on iNat ig!?

I narrowed down the tick as a male of genus Hyalomma from capitulum and scutum. I cant do species lol.

of the weevil, maybe female? I cant know of any more than it is just weevil. lol, apparently no one ID’ed it yet and it is not on iNat afaik. This is the original source of that weevil: https://www.flickr.com/photos/itchydogimages/7086922013/in/photostream/
Yes, it is definitely not Rhubarb weevil as people think based on above photo location.

Great tips here for people new to bearding:
