I am wondering if there is a way to sort your personal observations such that the rarest ones on iNaturalist (e.g. those with just 1 observation on iNaturalist) would show up first on the list. Mostly just for idle curiosity - I’m curious to know which my observations are least observed on iNat - b…

This is great! I’ve been looking for something like it. I knew my Kingbird hybrid observation would probably be my rarest being it was the first on iNat, but I didn’t know how rare the jumping spider that landed on my car windshield was. Thanks for the link!

Thank you for asking, this Yes this is awesome fun.

This is fun, thank you! I was amazed to see that I have 29 observations where mine is the only one. But here I must give thanks to the identifiers - there could be more of these species, just not yet ID’d yet. Fun to look back on these rare observations, I have forgotten about some of them!

Mine is - look at this pretty pair of moths on our tent

Mine is a mildew on a Duke of Argyll’s teaplant . 54 globally - not bad for a plant spotted growing tangled in a chain fence!

thank you! exactly what I was looking for. This is my rarest one - found in my backyard. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/48543137

Lovely, saved! :-) I have several observations that are the only ones on iNat

Thanks @EliasConroy ! It turns out I have a one of one that I had completely forgotten about. It is a small parasitic marine red algae - Gracilariophila oryzoides And of course I had to go through at look at everyone else’s rares and one of ones. Amazing!

thanks, thats awesome! i have a few unique observations :) a tick https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?taxon_id=263532 a leaf miner https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/29681396 a different leaf miner https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?taxon_id=1071940 green algae https://www.…
