I’m sure this has been done before, but it doesn’t look like it’s been done recently. I’ll post my list if this gets off the ground. So what species are you looking forward to finding next year? Rare lifers? Familiar faces?

I don’t have any specifics as far as species, but I’d like to travel to do some traveling outside of my country (I’m considering a move, so a scouting trip mixed with some iNatting would be great). I’m looking at places in Canada. I suppose if that’s where I end up going, it would be cool to find a …

I hope to see https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/64429-Calochortus-fimbriatus [medium] Photo 20836750, (c) sraskin, some rights reserved (CC BY-NC) I’ve been casually collecting Calochortus obs; got two new species this year but not sure how long I can keep up that pace before the necessary road tr…

During winter here in Northeast Ohio I keep my eyes open for possible hawk nests while hiking. Now is the time to do it with no leaves on the trees. This past summer I really enjoyed looking for pollinators - especially bees. The past two years our local parks (the Cleveland Metroparks) have had an…

While I’m an unapologetic snake-centric herper, I’m also hoping to finally get an IDable picture of a Florida Panther (only ever seen one, maybe two) and maybe get into the Florida Panhandle to target some salamander lifers. It’d also be dope to see some more scorpions and whip scorpions , since I’ve…

I would love to find a Lynx in 2025 because it is uncommon around where I live.

[image] Best of 2023 and looking forward to 2024 In 2024, I want to reach 2,000 yard species and achieve more progress on my Ripiphorus research. I want to spend time in southern New Mexico, especially to photograph specialist bees like Ancylandrena larreae and this wedge-shaped beetle (expected …

No specific species, but I’d love finding a few polychaete lifers (which would require a trip to the sea. Not sure if that is happening). I’d also be very happy about any new (to me) copepods and lichens I can find.

Polychaetes are awsome! Which ones do you want to see?

Which ones don’t I want to see? Haha A really fascinating one is Tomopteris helgolandica, and I do like the Nereididae for their cute faces. Generally I prefer the smaller ones, though, barely larger than what is typically considered Meiofauna. More of what I already observed this year , essentially …

Im open to really finding anything new! Particularly macrofungi, but arachnids and plants would be appreciated as well. For mushrooms: (these would all be new things I’d like to find and photograph for the first time!) ~Spring: Morchella snyderi - yummy! And morels look cool. Psilocybe ovoideocy…

I only made one trip to southern NM and creosote was not blooming, so I’ll repeat what I said last year.
