How to Geotag your Photos for iNaturalist
Oh goodness…
Another gift from China. Will the U.S. _ever_ get serious about invasive species?
Only the strong will survive
Crowd science ❤
Those little guys are just making "selfies" on the leaves.😁
My favorite new feature on the iPhone is the built-in species identification feature in iPhotos…. And then I… slowly realize the implications of Apple/Google AI having direct access to pictures on my phone
yea, think about the fact that you can highlight any object or text within your pictures
Unfriendly actors are constantly trying to destroy the US by any means possible. This is no accident.
I didn't knew that licesing of photos was such a big deal to contributing to generate data. Thanks a lot for all the advice, you have now 1497 new observations that can be aded to gbif 😁😁😁
Uh oh, I know what's on the left menu for us next. They where pushing it hard awhile. Goylent Screen is bugs...
I love the app- I get helped through plant/insect identification and learning about locally native plants and which plants are truly local to my area, while also being able to contribute to science. Recently I was able to submit a listing for a species that only has one other sighting in the area, and the ID may not be right, but I'm pretty excited to find out.
Здравствуйте я поймала очень странного таракана, кому интересно свяжитесь со мной может это новый вид тараканов
I'd call it serpentine, rather than zig zag, but I'm not a scientist. At any rate, it's all our fault like usual and like usual, people will spend huge amounts of money fighting it and, like usual, will fail. Rinse and repeat.
I love the Seek and iNaturalist apps
For me "invasive species" are like immigrants, they can change environment they establish for sure, but usually every territory has its apex predator for flies and larva 🤞🏻
Filthy frank? After so long? Doing entomology videos?!
Before iNaturalist I didn't realize how little we actually know about moths. I do native plant gardening for insects and started using iNaturalist to identify plants and see if native insects are on my native plants... and through that learned that sometimes we don't know which caterpillars go to which moths, or what all of their possible host plants are. And that's kind of important because moths are a giant building block of many ecosystems!
Super cool, here's hoping it can be nipped in the bud. If it's not already a feature on the app, it would be cool for agencies to be able to submit a "Wanted" list of invasives for people to be encouraged to submit reports of to help track spread and management
I found a spotted lanternfly where i live the other day and did not know what it was at first until i used inaturalist, i agree there should be a list of invasive species list or some way to report sightings of them through the app
This is difficult because some natives look like non natives
Very fine work: observant motivated perception - for insects that's mostly vision, hearing, smell and pain receptors that give you the clues to go by and, yes, many more bound together in citizen science projects multiplying and cross verifying data is even better.
iNaturalist is so handy with that species and location search
I agree! Used it to see the natural habitat of Asclepias angustofolia. Since the range for it is so small in the USA before going into Mexico. So it is a rather secluded milkweed species in America but it’s heavily cultivated for gardens.
Great work gonodactylus! Another example of how important iNaturalist is for ecological studies and preserving biodiversity
Good thing it was sent out for validation. Otherwise, someone would have bumped it back to genus saying that it could be a lookalike.
Good information. No background music, please.
Yes background music please

I agree with the girl who found the second observation. I'm sad that they're here, but how cool to be someone to have found one of the first ones. Maybe it is still early enough to do something about it. Here's hoping.
How well it can be controlled depends on how many people you have that will ignore warnings, transport firewood etc,
So proud to be apart of this community!
Dr Scott Loarie the collection of the stats & what people are doing with it were amazing how govt dept are using the data. Invasive species & monitoring road kill or to help endangered species in grass roots projects. Well done!
Love iNaturalist! 👍❤️

I work for a public agency in Italy that deals with the verification of the impacts on biodiversity generated by new infrastructures (roads, highways, railways, ...). Often the data of iNaturalist are an indispensable source of data in the absence of other databases; unfortunately in many cases , the geolocalization datas (of the presence of threatened species) are dispersed over a square of several kilometers on each side. For reasons of public utility, with due agreements, is it possible to obtain access to the exact geolocalizations?
I love diversity ❤

Thats a LIFE !!! I Love as well going to the mountain, enjoy nature!
Thank you for recording this and making it available to those of us who found a 4am (in New Zealand) viewing time a little too challenging!
Thank you for making the recording and slides available. I found the presentation very useful. Been using iNat since 2014.
This is presently the regular largest platform for posting. However, as a 71 y/o who has been involved with butterflies since age 8 and was a Field Biologist for 20 years with permits n Calif gnatcatcher, Least Bell's vireo, Laguna Mountains Skipper, Quino Checkerspot Butterfly, Hermes Copper Butterfly; I find it frustrating that some would question my butterfly IDs. I had a collection with my husband of ~12,000 specimens of insects and photos of over 9,000 specimens. I would send all of my specimens an/or photos to those who have PHDs in insect families. These Phd's keyed my specimens or came to my home and keyed them out. When posting on iNaturalist, I got frustrated with iNaturalist 'experts' questioning or changing my ID. When I would contact them most would open a dialogue, I would explain and provide names of my experts and provide emails and they would not allow me to change back. iNaturalist has good experts but if iNaturalist is not allow regional experts that are not part of iNaturalist you loose accurate posting. I consider myself a teacher since I am no longer capable to be in the field dues to a disabling spinal cord conditions.
Camera tip from my side. I use pro mode a lot when taking photos of small things with a phone. Focus can jump widely when on the edge of the minimal focus distance. Setting focus to manual and adjusting the distance to get things in focus makes things a lot easier when trying to get the closest most high quality shot on your phone.
Good meet and presentation. I am working in Guatemala to help other peoples how to use iNaturalist. And doing some monitoring of the jaguar and preys on the Mayan Biosphere Reserve in Peten, Guatemala through citizen science which is aproject on iNaturalist.
One of the things that would motivate me to do more Identifications is making it a bit easier through the app. The app doesn't filter the searches very well for things that are needing ID.
We also found it confusing at first.
A great tip for taking photos with your phone is to turn on live motion capture! It allows you to much easier get an insect in frame as you can edit the photo to change the key photo

Michelle is an outstanding example of why there should be more people studying Cultural Anthropology! Best cross-disciplinary field.
Developers of iNaturalist should receive some sort of major international award for creating and implementing this.platform. Of course there is the scientific use of the data that is valuable, but perhaps more important is the interest it has generated in the natural world. Wouldn't it be nice to know how many people have developed an interest in natural history in general, or of a particular group or a particular site just because of the availability of iNaturalist? Congrats to those who had the vision, skills, drive, and perseverance to create iNaturalist. This is an historic contribution to natural history and conservation.
Scientist
I LOVE iNat. but a teeny weeny niggle- maybe because I live in England and you don't. There's a plant called 'cuckoo pint'. You at inat call cuckoo-pint 'Arum maculatum' but we call Arum italicum (Italian lords-and-ladies) cuckoo-pint too.
Can be a bit confusing when there's more than one 'common name' for a species, or in your case two different species using the same 'common name'. Which is why it's important to use the scientific names which are specific to just one taxon.
Can you add the links that were referred to in chat to this video description?
I do most observation in home gardens of pollinator insects. Interested in species population changes year over year. Some years I identify numerous Queen butterflies or question marks and other years they are rarely seen but more painted and skippers. Hope these trends are being studied.
I studied Physics as a career but i have always loved nature in general, specially insects which have fascinated me since i was a child. I started recording observations in my garden using INat and during the pandemic became what it kept me sane during isolation. I discovered that my garden is very biodiverse with more than 300 species! After the pandemic i got involved with naturalists and conservation projects. This year i went back to University to train as field naturalist and conservator. In 15 days i will go camping in the Rainforest for a project. So in many ways INat changed my life and reconnected me with insects, my childhood passion ❤
Outdoor enthusiast. That me as well. I really like the easy identification of whatever I come across in our South Texas small ranch. I also like identification of plants on Padre Island.
I wasnt able to wstch live as i am in Australia. At around 47:00 you discuss how 'experts' and identifiers are outweighed by observers. When considering more obscure orders such as insects and arachnids, this is hardly surprising, given there is little funding for taxonomists, globally-speaking. It would be worth mentioning that such experts that in fact can reliably identify observations, are absolutely critical to the accuracy and integrity of iNat. It is essential to have an accurate identification of a species at some point, so that at the very least, the algorithm has something to go off. Otherwise, every subsequent identification of that species could be inaccurate and skewed. Ultimately, this would create a scenario where an expert would have to 'wade-in' and go through every observation of that species to correct them. A daunting task for many. I feel there could maybe be incentives for experts, to encourage them to weigh-in on identifications, although I suspect that few professionals would be willing to commit to a species-level identification, given the relative low quality of most images, that rarely show important features. Most insects require microscopy or dissection to accurately identify, for example. Just some thoughts, but overall very appreciative that iNat exists and provides a valuable tool for global diversity.
Love using this app! Sharing with family.
I’ll try to do all
Michael Skvarla, Ph.D. was kind enough to direct me to this app, as I had a question regarding the Giant Lacewing. Great people and a wealth of information on your app! (Michael Skvarla, Ph.D. Assistant Research Professor of Arthropod Identification Department of Entomology Penn State University)
Haven’t met Michael yet, but I work with some of his colleagues from Arkansas!
