I took a nature walk on a trail in my town in Connecticut. The trail is not near any major roads and doesn't see too much traffic, but it is by no means remote. I went in the evening and the weather was very nice. It was around 65 degrees and sunny (although the sun was behind a thick layer of smoke). While the smoke was noticeable, it did not seem as bad in the woods. I saw a lot of biodiversity on my trip, and noticed many types of fungi and other plants. To be honest, I have no idea w...

May 30th
This evening I was playing with my dog in the backyard and observing some plants.
I was out there for around 30 mins (from 5:45-6:10 pm)
The weather was super nice -around 75 degrees and still sunny
As my dog was chasing and barking at a basketball I noticed many new flowers starting to bloom as well as a lot of ants and a few squirrels.

This afternoon I sat in my backyard from around 1:45 till 2:05 pm
The weather is so nice and I observed many new plants and flowers that have started to bloom, for example, the peonies.
It is around 80 degrees fahrenheit with slight wind, but still very hot in the sun.

This morning it is around 50 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny.
There is some wind which makes it feel colder but little to no clouds in the sky.
Once again we observed a lot of geese on the baseball field as well as some other birds.

While examining iNat's Pagurixus hectori registration data, I found an unfamiliar species mixed in with the data, so I located a Lophopagurus pumilus with matching characteristics in a New Zealand paper.

Something I think could be improved about the design of INat, as a website.

Problem: what I call "senseless caution", both from the human identifiers and the AI: IDing something as a single-species taxon, instead of that species, for example "genus Elona" instead of "Elona quimperiana", or I think "Class Ginkgoopsida" is a striking example with only Ginkgo biloba in it. There's never a reason to register such IDs and they can always be improved without any loss of accuracy. (Log...

Las lagartijas del genero Phrynosoma son conocidos comúnmente como lagartos o sapos cornudos, llorasangres, dragonsitos o erróneamente llamados camaleones. La forma y número de los cuernos en la cabeza varía según la especie. Su dieta se compone principalmente de hormigas. Otra característica llamativa del grupo es que chorrean sangre de los ojos como medio de defensa.

Aquí reportamos el primer registro de falso camaleón de montaña (Phrynosoma orbiculare) para Sinaloa, México.

The Northern Rocky Mountain Biodiversity Challenge (NRMBC) is a free, tri-annual, crowd-sourced, 4 day collaboration known as a bioblitz. It is modelled after the largest bioblitz, the once yearly springtime international City Nature Challenge (CNC). It's an ecoregional competition, comprised of 106 individual projects in jurisdictions that intersect in whole, or in part, with the Yellowstone to Yukon ecoregion.
