Firstly, thanks so much for helping to identify observations!
Here are some things to keep in mind.
Even bringing some observations to say, Plants, Animals, Insects, Spiders, Fungi levels helps us with those photos that have no IDs or grossly improper IDs. It alerts, say, a Spider specialist to take a look at the photo and get the ID down to a finer taxonomic resolution.
PLEASE HELP WITH CURATION AND DO mark obviously cultivated plants as cultivated. Capti...

In a little more than five hours from this writing, the 2024 Western Mass City Nature Challenge begins! We hope you're as excited to get outside and explore as we are. And, so far, the weather looks to be quite nice - hurrah!
A couple of reminders:
All observations must be made between midnight tonight and midnight Monday, so you have four full days to take photos, record sounds, or make Casual observations (ones with no photos or recordings).
After those four d...

Hello Bay Area CNC / nature enthusiasts!
The global City Nature Challenge has officially started (as of 5am our time today, Thursday 4/25, which is midnight Friday 4/26 in New Zealand)! We still have 8.5 more hours until we get to join in the fun – who is going to stay up late to make the first SF Bay Area observation???
We hope everyone gets outside, maybe meets some new people (or some new-to-you species?), and has fun during these four days! There are

INTRODUCTION
Spiders are the most prolific and predatory successful animals on planet Earth, thriving on every continent—even Antarctica—in virtually every habitat known to humankind—from the harsh tundra of the cold North to the scorching deserts of the Atacama Desert, the peaks of the Himalayan Mountains to the underground caves and caverns near lava, the intertidal zones of many of our oceans to the open grassland plains, and the dense tropical rainforests to ...
I created this project to track freshwater mussel observations in Alabama.
Freshwater mussels are fascinating when you consider that when Europeans first arrived in Alabama, there were hundreds of millions filling the rivers and creeks throughout the state, each filtering about 11 gallons of water per day. Mussels filter pollution and improve water quality, and have the ability to filter out poisons such as mercury. There are efforts to restore these populations in Alabama such ...
Join our community science initiative, Pollinators of Apple, powered by the iNaturalist platform developed in collaboration with the California Academy of Sciences and National Geographic. We offer guidance on participating in our project, from observing and identifying pollinators to mapping their presence in your area. You will utilize iNaturalist to record and identify pollinators, then share your discoveries with the Planet Bee community!

Hi folks,
The annual City Nature Challenge is getting ready to start (12:01 a.m. Friday!) and we need your help. Between Friday, April 26 and Monday, April 29, we need you to help us find as many species as possible using iNaturalist. All iNaturalist observations from Albemarle, Charlottesville, Nelson, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Orange counties will automatically be counted towards the Challenge.

Продовжимо нашу серю рекомендацій від фахівців. На черзі - ботаніки.
Ось кілька рекомендацій від Олесі Безсмертної про те, як фотографувати папороті.
🔸 Важливо фотографувати вигляд усієї ваї (листка). Оскільки часто визначити можна за нижніми частками (перами).
🔸 Варто також увагу звернути не тільки на фотографування "вид зверху", але також і зазирнути у таємничий світ сорусів (це такі пухирці, що знаходяться знизу ваї) (до речі, папороті називали досить довго "таємн...
With the arrival of the rich blooms of spring, we see peak pollinator diversity here on the TPF grounds. Some of our favorites have been showing up, such as Perdita interrupta—also known as the California poppy fairy bee. At a quick glance, they almost look like large ants, and don't mistake them for another tiny bee commonly sighted on the California poppies: the red-tailed micro-shortface (Micralictoides ruficaudus, photo 3). You may want to bring out a hand lens to check out the ident...
Hey y'all! Thanks for joining the project! If anyone has any questions or if there is any problems with the project list, please let me know. Also, I'm looking for some curators for the project, especially if more people join, so message me if you are interested. Finally, if you want to, make sure you're adding observations to the project by going to the project section of either you own or other's observations. Thank you everyone!

Вже завтра розпочнеться всесвітній біобліц. Але зараз в нашій країні діють обмеження на відвідування деяких місцевостей, та й повітряні тривоги корегують наші плани. Тому у цьому дописі ви знайдете кілька порад щодо спостережень організмів, що мешкають в оселях людини та поблизу них!
Спробуйте придивитися до природи навколо себе. АЛЕ - йдеться НЕ про домашніх тварин та НЕ про культивовані види рослин.

Hey there!
Can you believe that the 2024 City Nature Challenge starts tomorrow?! We cannot wait to get out and observe the wonderful nature that Utah’s Wasatch has to offer. From the alpine mountaintops to the sandy shores of Great Salt Lake, and everything in between, nature has a wonderful way of presenting itself in the most delightful ways.

Here in Boston, we have under 10 hours before our adventure begins, but our friends and competitors in the eastern hemisphere have already started their CNCs! Check out the City Nature Challenge 2024 umbrella projects to watch LIVE as participating cities around the world start to log observations. Our Boston project will be showing up in the North and South America project:
I'm going cross-country from Washington state to Washington DC. I leave on the 5th of May, and will make observations on my way there and back. I will be traveling in a Dodge Challenger, so space and carrying capacity of the car will be limited, however I will be sure to bring my camera and laptop at the very least. I hope to perhaps be able to see cicadapocalypse 2024.
