…When you a stranger sees you doing some kind of a weird jig because you spotted a lifer. Trust me it’s awkward.

… When your internet goes down for three days and you drive to Bojangles to submit your observations and Identify around 500 observations when your internet finally is restored.

This is unrelated to the thread, but I love Bojangles!! Too bad we don’t have them here in S Florida. I always like stopping by them whenever I’m up north. Anyway, good work

I haven’t the slightest what you people are talking about (a restaurant, probably?) but my first thought when I saw @wildlife13’s post was that Bojangles was a country. I think if you drive to another country just to upload observations, you’re definitely seriously into iNat!

A few days ago I stopped to take a picture of a quail, and by the time I finished the others were 50 feet away… Worth it.

Yeah I don’t think Bojangles are found up north or west as much as in the carolinas.
They make the best Fried Chicken and biscuits.

Willing to get bit by mosquitos to take pictures of them on your arms or hands.

I have done that.
Me too, but only because they don’t carry nasty diseases around here. I wouldn’t do that in some places.
I wouldn’t dare do that in the tropics for instance.
and they are open on sundays! and fast! and delish! i actually just grabbed lunch there today. Cajun chicken filet biscuit with pimento cheese yummmm
So weird:
Because I am from up north (Michigan, close to Canada and Tim Horton’s country :P) and I think of Bojangles as a southern chain (I’m now in Alabama).
I’ve also uploaded observations from Bojangles…so maybe that’s an iNat thing?

I’ve uploaded observations from bojangles too
Well, from your profile I can’t identify where you are. But I do know that mosquito-borne diseases are not just tropical; several of the encephalitis viruses are native to temperate North America, including eastern equine, western equine, and St. Louis encephalitis. California has its own: California encephalitis; Jamestown Canyon encephalitis originated in Colorado, and La Crosse encephalitis in Wisconsin. And that was before the arrival of West Nile virus, which is also established throughout much of Europe.

I was just walking my dog in the rain when I found a large leech crossing the pavement a few metres from my house. It wasn’t suitable conditions for a photo so I picked it up and carried it home. One of those, too busy enjoying the cool creature and not noticing it probably looked like I picked up dog poo with my bare hands, moments.

I suppose there can be something here as well, but adding one more bite to the thousand I’d get anyway, won’t make a difference.

I just noticed I’ve developed something of an aversion to cultivated plants. I constantly scan my environment for potential observations, so if I can easily label something as cultivated I dismiss it as “boring”. Plants that may or may not be cultivated generate an internal sigh as I prepare to add to the workload of identifiers who must make the decision I could not - whether said plant was worthy of a verifiable observation.
