I was on a plant walk with an expert botanist in Calgary. He showed us a spot where he saw 4 rare orchids in a city park. He took photos of the spot, and posted it on his Facebook account. He loves to share news about biodiversity. I think he mentioned the park, but not the location (it’s a big park). He went back a week later . . . every orchid gone! Just holes in the ground. So when he shows me plants now, I ask if they’re rare. If they are, I observe them with my eyes. I make old-fashioned memories. I don’t record digital evidence on my phone! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/problematic-behavior-related-to-posts/54590)._
