I male eBird lists a lot and just joined XenoCanto
(As you can see, I like birds)
My second favorite place is BAMONA because of the very clear identifying details provided for each moth or butterfly species, and my sightings list is easy to access. The identifiers are also knowledgeable and helpful when a submission is unusual. The other is Bugguide, which I use less often, but I like the data element for seeing what species occur where. I definitely don’t use either as much as iNat. My favorite element of iNat is the ability to post observations, make mistakes, and learn from them. Also, it’s just very easy to use. I feel more comfortable here. :)

Is that one vetted for high-skilled photographers? My first impression was that the pictures there average a lot prettier than the ones on iNaturalist.

I did get the air monitor. Thanks, @anneclewis for the encouragement.

I joined eBird a bit after iNat and am trying to dedicate more time to cataloging the birds in my neighborhood, particularly the small island next to it. I use it more like a personal lifelist journal since I don’t have the capability to travel or “twitch” anything which is sometimes what I believe a majority of eBirders use the site for(nothing wrong with that btw). Regardless I still try to be detailed with my observations in case they could be of some use in the future.
Thanks to a recent notable invasive species observation I just learned about https://www.eddmaps.org/ and even found a few of my iNat observations on there! When I have the energy I’ll make myself a proper account.

Sorry for the late response.
No…all relevant photos are welcome at JungleDragon. It’s a nice community, although the UI (the upload process) is not as simple as iNat and some others but it is a good project.
I started eBird not long ago, but I like it very much!
The Adopt-a-Pond project through the Toronto Zoo. It has Frog Watch and Turtle Tally components.

I am a platform member at Cetalingua Project, which focuses on marine mammals’ behavior and bioacoustics. I use low-cost Audiomoth recorders to record dolphin sounds when I go kayaking. They also have a web app to collect behavioral and environmental data. It is a bit more in-depth in citizen science, and you have to pay for membership, but I have a personal dashboard with tons of data visualization and use their AI models to identify dolphin sounds in my recordings. I can also annotate my recordings. They also have a free tier and some projects on Zooniverse.
