This post is an update to an earlier post discussing the need for shareable images to use on Wikipedia (see Using iNaturalist Images on Wikipedia).
Currently, about 99.4% of all iNat observers have selected a default image license that is not compatible with use on Wikipedia.1 At first glance, this sounds terrible, except that the remaining...
Je regroupe les deux parcs au sein d’un même ensemble écologique. De toute façon, sur le terrain, la limite entre les deux est floue, pour ne pas dire inexistante.
Big news! Our first 100+ sequences for MycoMap BC have been posted to iNat, with identifications!!
We’re so excited to get to see the fruits of our labour, and earlier than expected thanks to Mycota Labs!

Друзья, "Рождественские каникулы" пролетели так быстро!
Но они стали весьма насыщенными для всех, кто с 1 по 7 января проводил наблюдения, а до 10 января успел загрузить их на iNaturalist и присоединиться к нашему проекту.
А таковых немало: 203 наблюдателя успели увидеть 199 видов и загрузить 6.810 наблюдений исследовательского уровня!
Благодаря всех участников за активность, необходимо назвать самых удачливых.
Ими стали наблюдатели с самого юга нашей страны. Несомн...
Ngā mihi o te tau hou | Happy New Year to all our iNaturalist community!
I hope you are enjoying the summer and getting out and about making lots of observations.
This is a head's up that we will be running lots of events again this year for City Nature Challenge 2026 including our third annual Awards night where we get together in real life to celebrate what we find!
Our goal is to document California’s insect diversity by partnering with entomology professors, student clubs, and other insect enthusiasts across the state and the country. Together, we can help fill major data gaps on insect distributions while engaging students directly in biodiversity science.

Del 20 al 30 de enero de 2026 realizaremos el BioBlitz Ciudad de Jaén, un evento abierto para registrar toda la biodiversidad de nuestra ciudad.
No necesitas experiencia: solo salir, observar y subir tus fotos a iNaturalist dentro del término municipal.
¡Cada observación cuenta!

As mentioned in my first Special Notation and Tribute, I adopted three cats when the mother had kittens on my property in late October 2008. Mother, Spirit, was born, likely feral in the summer of 2007. She lived on the property for a week in May, 2008, after having her first litter of kittens. They were gone in a week, and I saw very little of them in the following months. However, late summer, she returned..likely because I had fed her. And likely, in hindsight, doing the math, was preg...

I recently acquired some unpublished historical data from Laurie Vitt from 1974-76 when he and Dick Van Loben Sels ran pitfall traps near the confluence of the Salt and Verde Rivers (near Mesa, AZ). They collected, measured, and released lizards and snakes for two straight years, but never actually published the data. Yet, there are some important things hiding in the data that caught my attention and I intend to follow-up starting in 2026 (50+ years later).
From their data one ca...
Proposed Changes：
Dongguan: Eliminate large regional divisions denoted as "Area" or "Zone."
Zhongshan: Eliminate the large regional division denoted as "Cluster."
Implementation：
Both cities will instead adopt their officially designated Subdistricts or Towns for place name display.
Displayed Place Names：
(The specific list of subdistricts/towns would go here)

I started from Salem at 10 AM, with no goal but the hills and whatever the day would reveal. The ascent was slow and observant: flocks of Verditer Flycatchers, chattering Indian White-eyes, and a gift—a pristine male Paradise Flycatcher in flowing white plumage.
By the 8th bend, the world changed. A dense, silent fog swallowed the road, reducing visibility to a few meters. The familiar ghat road became a mysterious tunnel.
At the Pagoda Point junction, a figure emerged from...

To identify new GSOB infestations, those collaborators are leading “GSOB Blitzes,” community science events where volunteers can survey for symptomatic trees and signs of infestation in parks and natural areas. The next GSOB Blitz is scheduled for Feb. 13, 2026 in Ventura County.
Users can edit/remove taxa in checklists on the batch edit pages, see:
https://www.inaturalist.org/lists/346-New-York-Check-List/batch_edit
I just don't know a good way to find specific species/taxa in the larger lists.
More investigation is needed.
About a year ago we in New England lost one of the most helpful identifier of ferns, Don Lubin. I was reminded of Don when I got a notice today that someone had added an identification to an observation which Don and I had both weighed in on in 2022. He joined iNaturalist in 2019 and was last active on iNaturalist in December 2024, a few weeks before his death. During those years, he made over 40,000 identifications for our community.
I was lucky enough to go on a number of fern ...
@pillwixler has written up a guide to 7 "Bird-dropping" moths for Chicago area. These 7 also appear in Michigan, and may be helpful for anyone that gets confused by these, like myself.
A couple of months ago I suddenly awoke at about 3:00AM and realized that what I needed to be doing right now was hastily writing up an amateurish guide to identifying “bird poop moths”, as one often does. I made great progress in a short amount of time and was quite pleased with myself. And then one of my cats jumped up on my computer, landing perfectly on the power button, and I lost everything including that brief flash of delirious motivation. Two months later I find m...

Уважаемые участники!
Осталось 3 дня до окончания загрузки наблюдений 2025 года.
Если у вас есть наблюдения, на которых запечатлен вид, влияющий на окончательный результат по проекту, отправьте ссылку на наблюдение в личные сообщения ВК Шакировой Екатерине.
До конца января идёт проверка наблюдений. К 1 февраля подводим итоги. И традиционное награждение состоится на встрече Орнитологического общества в преддверии Дня орнитолога (будет дополнительный анонс)
Niedawno ukazała się pierwsza (lub jedna z pierwszych) publikacja dotycząca rozmieszczenia porostów w Polsce, która wykorzystuje dane zdeponowane w iNaturalist: Koralóweczka śluzowata Multiclavula mucida w polskiej części Karpat – nowe, liczne stanowiska rzadkiego porostu wskaźnikowego lasów naturalnych.
Multiclavula mucida to ciekawy gatunek porostu, którego komponentem jest podstawczak (a nie jak w przypadku wiekszości gatunków porostów - workowiec). To bardzo rzadki gatunek w krajow...
Помимо лебедей-шипунов на Волхове, о которых не написал только ленивый, каникулярные прогулки подарили несколько внезапных встреч с птицами и зверями.
На Красном Поле мы спугнули пару орланов-белохвостов (КК России!), проводивших время у полыней на Волховце. Фото орланов не получились, но, может, птицы переберутся поближе к открытой воде в городе и тогда чьи-то хорошие фотографии будут. Там же, на стыке ручьёв Фёдоровского и Тарасовца, где остался тоненький ручеек открытой воды, спугну...

Today’s moss is Campylopodium capillaceum. This species forms short turfs of pale-green leaves that narrow abruptly from a sheathing base to be narrow and wispy for most of their length. Despite its small size, this specimen was rather conspicuous, due to its prolific sporophytes.
Campylopodium capillaceum is most likely to be confused with Campylopodium lineare, the only other species in the genus present in Aotearoa. Campylopodium capillaceum c...
