What's a video that pops up in your head when you see an interesting or captivating observation?

I have one to share and I thought others might have some too. And we might learn a thing or two.

It’s funny that you linked to a Deep Look video, because Deep Look was exactly what popped up in my head! I actually just watched their new Green Tree Ant video.

I’m still building up my mental library of videos, so that I can instantly connect cool videos to observations, but I’m so impressed with the production quality of Deep Look! I’m grateful to this forum for introducing me to the channel. What a time to be alive!

I also want to thank you for hitting what I call “The Studer Ratio” on iNaturalist. You have a perfect contribution pyramid going: more IDs than observations, and more annotations than IDs. Your meticulous work makes the community better for everyone!

Thank you. I didn’t know there was such ratio, but it makes sense. Plus, who can refuse a pretty chart :) and Photos grouped by Life Stage.

Not a video, but I hear Darth Vader’s “Sister” line from Return of the Jedi pretty much every time I see a California sister butterfly.

What are annotations? If it is good to have them, then I want to learn what they are and make a bunch of 'em.

Any American Woodcock, ever, but especially if it’s audio (the woodcock fans will already know what this is going to be):

Any frog:

Okay okay, fine, it’s a frogge.

“A frog is a small beast with four legs, which lives both in water and on land. It is brown, green, yellow, or, be it tropical, it may have diverse colours. It has both lungs and gills. It hatches from an egg, and it then is a tadpole. It grows to be a frog, if it is not eaten.”

I might use that if I ever encounter a misidentified frog.
