Yes, they’re swarming here too! Got a really good photo (for me) of a mated pair.

YES!!! and Charley’s art! If this was what people meant by fantasy draft whatevers, I’d be so down.

You figured out you had this problem a while ago so now regular appointments are arrived at 5-10 minutes early to check for insects at lights, make a bird list and freak out all the other people at the office :)
You wonder how long it will be for someone who is even more seriously into iNat to upload a virus observation of phlegm and list it as “sign” for covid-19.
you spent time thinking about the last one…seriously, some time.

Several other people have been thinking about it too. ;-) https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/cheer-up-those-stuck-at-home-because-of-coronavirus-identify-their-observations/10670

I disagree with your doctor. Brisk walking may have cardio benefits that slow walking does not, but since getting into nature walks in a big way about two years ago I can tell you my leg muscles are in the best shape of my life–and I recently turned 60! Just get a little faster walking, jogging or other cardio exercise in somewhere, preferable in a gym or an urban area where there are few distractions.

when you governor instates a stay-at-home executive order to contain COVID-19 and you say “Try me, I’m going iNat-ing.”

It’s important to follow the government and health authority directions. If you can go iNatting and still comply with those directives, then yes…
Perhaps the “seriously into” is ringing the helpline to clarify that iNatting is an “Essential Service” or perhaps “Necessary for personal wellbeing”

Drat! I cleaned the fridge last week because I was bored out of my mind. I should’ve photographed some of those “science projects” in the back of the shelf.

You hold off on throwing things away specifically so you can watch the mold form and iNat it!

I keep trying to do that but either my mother or sister throw it out while I’m at work!

“I want a mini fridge, and for everyone to put the bad food in there instead of throwing it out.”

you agree and raise @star3 to, “I want a mini-fridge and freezer, for insects and seeds and a dedicated space for science experiments!” cries of, “Ahhh, wait those aren’t frozen fruit!” a thing of the past.
