💬 About iNaturalist:
- As non-expert, you might think you know about specific species, dont be so sure about it. Many things look alike or have different names or variations that might surprise you. You can check their taxonomy by clicking to the name to see variations.
- Everything needs an ID even on kingdom level like plantae, animalia, fungi etc to get ID faster so they wont be lost for years in the Forgotton Unknown Forest as i call it.
- If you dont know your way around, here is a quick link to know things
