1500 Observations!

We made it past 1500 observations!

Thank you so much to everyone who's contributed to this project so far. We've been able to amass a wealth of ecological information, some of which is already being used to make new discoveries, like:
-Oophagy by Protoboarmia caterpillars (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/11935711)
-Part of the diet of a threatened spreadwing damselfly (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/14205256)
-The jumping spider Apricia jovialis may steal prey from spider wasps (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/10797999)
-Blepharepium robber flies are astounding mimics that target the paper wasp Polistes instabilis (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/17303029)
-Black widows will capture social wasps (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/5290682)
And much more!

Learning through this project has been a lot of fun for me, and I know our efforts to help organize the ecological data on iNaturalist will lead to even more astounding information in the future.

Best regards,
Chris
