Different countries have different common names, sometimes more than one for the same plant, or one name may refer to several different plants, for example – Ironwood, Shamrock, Strawberry.

If a plant species occurs in Florida, for example, it will almost always have a different common name.

If a plant did not have a use in Cayman, it often didn’t have a common name. However, some have common names referring to the way in which they were encountered, eg Shake-Hand trees, wi...

Global Bird Rescue Sep21-27. External project through FLAP Canada and Nature Canada.
"GBR uses the Global Bird Collision Mapper (GBCM) to document bird-building collisions worldwide. Each year, during the end of September or beginning of October, teams and individuals take to the streets to search for birds that have collided with buildings in their community, to social media to raise awareness about this conservation issue, and to make their own windows bird-safe. We encourage you to ...

Calling local iNatters!

Join us in Beaver Lodge Forest Lands on Saturday September 26 for a one-day bioblitz in which together we will work to document as much biodiversity in the forest as possible using iNaturalist. As part of the bioblitz, and iNaturalist's iNat Together campaign, there will be a guided walk from 10am-12pm with Greenways Land Trust and local fungi experts. See the project for details. Your presence for the walk, the bioblitz, or both is appreciated.

Je suis à faire un résumé des connaissances et une bibliographie commentée dans le cadre de mon projet de restitution de la forêt précoloniale de la région montréalaise pour ma direction de maîtrise, et je tombe là-dessus ! C'est très intéressant de savoir que le chêne rouge est allé se réfugié jusqu'en Floride lors du dernier maximum glaciaire !

The common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis), known in French as the lézard des murailles, is a small and active reptile found throughout France. It occurs as introduced populations in southern Britain.

Wall lizards can voluntarily detach their tails (caudal autotomy) to escape predators and will gradually regrow them over time. I spotted this individual on the rocks under the harbour wall in Brest, Brittany – it had clearly lost the tip of its tail in the not too distant past.

Estava eu, tranquilamente, tomando meu café no quintal e tentando ver — ou pelo menos ouvir — o nosso pica-pau-de-cabeça-amarela, vulgo Loirinho. Quando, de repente, olhei para o lado e, lá longe, vi uma coisa branca se mexendo em um galho seco.

Peguei a câmera para tentar descobrir o que era e… PASMEM: UMA ARAPONGA!!!

Justamente ela, a ave que eu estava tentando enxergar quase todos os dias e que parecia fazer questão de se esconder de mim. Depois de tanto procurar, procur...

We are coming to a close of the first week of bioblitz! Thank you to everyone who has been out documenting and finding some amazing species! Hawkins is in the lead in our species count but we have some schools not too far behind! We look forward to seeing what new discoveries are around the corner the next two weeks!

My Fishy Data for 2026

My obsession with microfishing, life-listing, and biodiversity data really synergized this year.

Since moving to NB, I picked a brand new outdoors hobby to complement my iNaturalist hobby. The random number generator landed on "fishing" and here I am wrapping up my 3rd year as a recreational fisher and 2nd full fishing season. ...

The first study to investigate the genetic diversity of Mediterranean Romulea at the genomic level has just been published.
Based on 272 individuals representing 18 putative taxa, the study reveals a complex evolutionary history involving cryptic divergence, hybridization and polyploidy. It provides strong genetic support for the distinctness of several taxa, while highlighting previously unrecognised diversity within R. ramiflora and R. columnae.

Nice sunny early autumn day. Saw an orb weaver feeding on the largest prey I've witnessed so far apart from butterflies but butterflies aren't that big when you don't count the wings. Lots of bumble bees!

Hiya! This journal post is to show off bugs* (*and, if ever I find any, other animals) I find specifically on the porch of my dorm. Not inside, not around, either on or very very close to the porch.

Why? To show that there can be so much life even in one tiny spot, so close to human life too! I hope maybe this'll encourage someone to look around at places close to home.

Most of them have ended up being spiders, with lots of harvestmen as well. But I've gotten some ot...

I expected this would happen anytime now; I found my first spotted lantern fly at MH, a bold pioneer heralding what I suspect should be a wave now. We eyed each other for a bit, not knowing what to make of each other.

Not sure what to photograph?

Look for wild nature: birds, insects, squirrels, frogs, wild plants, fungi, moss, or even a spider in your home. If it’s wild (not a pet or something someone planted), it counts!
If you’re not sure what you’re looking at, that’s okay! You can get identification suggestions in the iNaturalist app, and once you share your observations, the iNaturalist community will help confirm your IDs.

A strong El Niño weather event started in June in this region. The weather for this year’s Echidna Count has been warm and dry, with this September shaping up to be one of the warmest on record. Although there was good rain during winter, the soil is now very dry and there were days of strong wind just before the Count.

By Thursday there have been 6 echidna sightings recorded in the project.
