Your top 10 most identfied

A lot has changed during the last year:

Except, H. axyridis has never faced any serious threat of dethronement (and it never needed to usurp anything either) :P

The next non-ladybeetles (after X. parietina) are the flat footed flies: Polyporivora polypori (25th), Protoclythia rufa (34th), Polyporivora picta (37th), and Polyporivora ornata (40th)

In comparision to my first post, where 4 out of the top 5 were Argiope spiders, it starts to shift more and more towards lycosoidea, which are my current focus.. at the moment since this year especially Tigrosa, and two already made it to my top list.

Realistically, at least two more Argiope are on their way out of my top ten, as well as the “spider-mallard” Araneus diadematus

@That_Bug_Guy

It finally happened! After months of outpacing the Asian Lady Beetle, the Mallard was usurped! It now sits at a very close second and will probably take back its crown sometime soon.

Those numbers are amazing! I do not even have a 5-digit number for my top species

Bees and flowers. No question about my interests here. And it keeps going like that pretty much all the way down, with the addition of the occasional wasp or bee-mimicking fly.

The species list doesn’t really reflect the proportion of my time spent on IDing each taxon. I spend the vast majority of my time working on hymenopterans, although periodically I will go through some of the local weeds that I am particularly fond of and clear out some of the “needs ID” backlog. But a huge percentage of my bee IDs (the thousands of times I have typed “Lasioglossum”) are not represented because they are not at species level, leaving honeybees to float to the top of the list.

You guys made me curious what I have IDed the most, but how do you see them? What filters do you apply?

[eyekosaeder]

You have to do it via URL parameters (ident_user_id= and not_user_id=). That will give you all observations of others where you have added an ID:

Thanks! These are my top 10

Sure, same with spiders.

[That_Bug_Guy]

It’s all about that grind!

Here’s an update:

Not much has changed!

[varanus_enthusiast]

Here’s an update of mine since last time!

[frontyardscientist]

All trees and shrubs unsurprisingly. I have to specify that about 22k out of these 82k observations I’ve identified are Casual grade, because they feature cultivated plants or inaccurate metadata.

[dendroleon]

i haven’t been IDing for long and tend to avoid adding IDs to observations already at RG - and several of these spiders have some very active IDers. i’m always happy when i get to ID a Dendroleon, considering my username…

Thanks for helping out with IDs
