I actually discovered iNaturalist in an interesting way. In May of 2022, I was watching a keynote video for Apple, and they mentioned the Seek app, and I was intrigued by the concept. I downloaded the app, and I was immediately hooked. Eventually I figured out how to use iNaturalist and it has become my go-to place for identification.

My main outdoor interests are plants (especially natives), small bugs, and fungi. I use an iPhone 14 Pro for most of my photography, but I will occasionally use my Nikon D5200 for photos. The two hobbies really mesh nicely!
