My unidentified bugs & plants

This is just a collection of my observations that have not yet been identified to species level. Further ID on some may not be possible for whatever reason, but countless others surely have potential. While most of you aren't going to be interested in this, I hope that visualizing my unidentified observations will encourage me to later seek out IDs for them, or maybe encourage others to look through taxa they are most familiar with and perhaps provide some identifications, which I would sincerely appreciate.
