There are a few topics asking about the your favourite observations or the best photos you uploaded or about the most memorable wild-life encounter you had. But sometimes, making IDs can be equally as rewarding. Perhaps you identified a really rare species (an iNat first maybe?), or a species you …

Pternistis rufopictus (Graubrustfrankolin) von Serengeti National Park, Bariadi, TZ am 21. Juni 2014 um 02:19 AM von Cheryl Rosenfeld · iNaturalist This is mine. I am not a birder. Just by chance I bumped into this RG observation and disagreed to another species. I was happy and a bit proud, that …

Luke Downey was the first to disagree there

You are right. I confused the URLs. This was the one i ment: Pternistis rufopictus (Graubrustfrankolin) von Bariadi, Tanzania am 20. Juli 2022 um 06:07 PM von Andy Frank. Yellow-throated Francolin · iNaturalist

I was updating the NatureServe conservation status rank for Astragalus amnis-amissi and there weren’t any iNat observations so I searched the area where they’re known and found one that was only identified to Astragalus: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/236932958 kudos to w-pearce-plants for…

I mainly ID common Andalusian stuff and sometimes sort Molluscs into Bivalvia and Gastropoda (which is not as straightforward as I thought), so nothing to be really proud of. In another German natureforum I managed to ID a really cool find, though. As it doesn’t really belong here, I’ll just link th…

Mummy wasp, the nightmare side of iNat!

I am a low level IDer, I don’t have the skill to place IDs finer than order or genus, excepting a few local things. However, every now and then I pull back on a rather bold initial ID, and put something at genus or family, such as this Evaniidae member . The initial ID was placed as Evania appendigas…

I am no ornithologist. When I see a bird, I’m content to call it a bird, though I’ve IDed a heron and macaws. A few days ago, I came across a feather. I IDed it as Numididae, which someone soon specified. Out of Africa, it could hardly be anything but N. meleagris. How did I know? My landlady has …

Really can’t decide between https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/106411274 and https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/213071928 (first mine, 2nd for someone else). The first observation is of one of my favorite species of all time, an extremely poorly documented olive relative from the dry tr…

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/12879903 My initial ID of Diptera was refined to family (Syrphidae / hover flies) and from there I was able to do the research to arrive at a species, though there was some confusion at first between Ceriana rachmaninovi and Sphiximorpha rachmaninovi. My ob…
