Over here in the US, that would be the state of Washington in the Pacific northwest. Arenāt abbreviations fun? When I moved from Germany to Delaware, I used to joke that my location hadnāt really changed that much going from DE as the two-letter country code for Germany (Deutschland) to DE for Delaware here in the US.
Itās not just plants. I was totally amazed that my totally obvious beetle on a Texas bluebonnet flower turned out not to have any photos from the wild, at least in iNaturalist.

@jbecky: Thatās so cool! - Hope you can do more observations of this beetle.
Was it one of your general observation-areas?
Hear, hear!
Itās exciting when you get a āfirst known photograph of a living specimenā. I got a couple in Kings Canyon in Central Australia last year.
One of my beetles wasnāt identified, but mentioned that it was possibly something never recorded. It was back when I was using my phone camera so the images arenāt very good. But at times like that I wish I knew more about what Iām photographing!
