New features. Detailed instructions for each feature is provided on the About page.
Add graphs tab.
Add graphs tab to observations. The search and filters that you use to filter the observations will also apply to the graphs. This gives you more control over the graphs than what is provided on the iNat taxa page.
You can create graphs by month/year, year, and month. Here’s a graph of observations in Los Angeles for month/year.
If you search for multiple places, you can group the observations by places. Here’s a graph of observations in Los Angeles and San Diego for month/year.
If you search for multiple species, you can group the observations by species. Here’s a graph of observations monarchs and narrowleaf milkweed in Los Angeles and San Diego for month/year.
When you search by species, you can create graphs for certain annotations. Animals have ‘Life Stage’, ‘Evidence of Presence’, ‘Alive or Dead’, and ‘Sex’. Plants have ‘Sex’, ‘Leaves’, and ‘Flowers and Fruits’.
Here’s a graph of life stages for monarchs in Los Angeles and San Diego.

Download identifications.
Download identifications as a CSV. This is a response to the Search and filter identifications feature request thread with 119 votes.
- use search and filters to filter identifications
- Click ‘Download’ icon to access Downloads menu.
then download the identifications.
This feature is a work in progress. I would appreciate feedback on this feature. Should I adjust fields in the CSV? What is a reasonable limit for the maximum number of identifications that can be downloaded? iNat has a limit of 200,000 observations for the downloads.

This feature is a work in progress. I would appreciate feedback on this feature.
‘Beta features’ filters
Add ‘Beta features’ tab to features to add filters not supported by the iNat API. Since these filters are not fully supported by the API, the features are kinda buggy.
- click ‘filters’ button
- click ‘beta features’ tab
People can hide the observations with annotations, and hide the observations with observations fields. If both options are selected, observations without annotations or observation fields are shown. This is a response for URL Code for Observations without Annotations? thread.
