• Slime molds are gorgeous (you just never knew it) [video]

  Observing nature is really fascinating, and it's everywhere - even in your fridge! Should you find something you can't identify try https://inaturalist.org/ which makes recording, sharing, discussing, identifying and correcting audio or still image media based observations easy and is of great utility to biologists tasked with understanding and environmentalists protecting our remnant biodiversity.

• Please tell me these are not what I think they are…

  Recluses are known to stay in a location long-term without dispersing much. If you search your garage and house, you should be able to easily find some more. You should get in touch with your county extension office and send them specimens, and also record your observations on iNaturalist or BugGuide. Source: 11 months ago

• What is the best possible use for Entomology as a hobby rather than a professional job?

  iNaturalist is a website run by various scientific/educational entities that is a database of observations by ordinary people (not just scientists at work). You upload photos and add geographic location and what taxon the organism belongs to, and you can also add notes and useful metadata. Source: 11 months ago

• Bought my first microscrope

  You can try online databases like this one, or inaturalist.org, but I've had the most luck just posting the images on here and hoping they get recognized. Source: 11 months ago

• Hi all. Is there any responsible and active bird watching / wildlife groups in kerala that one can join? Would prefer groups that are active and has field trips or wildlife observation trips.

  Also join with https://inaturalist.org community. Several ebird app users too in Kerala. Source: 12 months ago

  I recommend inaturalist.org and bugguide.net. Source: about 1 year ago

• Lifted up a log and found this fella. Clover mite? SW MO, USA

  Yellow legs: Perhaps a less common genus? Or it's something quite different. If you're on iNaturalist, try uploading it there, there's a trombidiid guy on there. Source: about 1 year ago

• Have you ever bought flowers for your boyfriend?

  See, I don't buy my husband flowers. I either 1) Grow some plants and make him look at them when they're flowering or 2) Go hunting flowers in the wilderness, take pictures, and we both hop on iNaturalist to ID them. Source: about 1 year ago

• What is my little fella? There are a lot of these spiders on my house

  Can you pleaae post this on iNaturalist and in the species part, put in Agelenidae :). Source: about 1 year ago

• Beacáin san Oirthear :)

  Download the iNaturalist app, or use the site. You can search for Psilocybe or Panaeolus genus mushrooms near you. I think mushroomobserver is another resource. Source: about 1 year ago

• I found this spider near my sink does anyone know what kind of spider this is?

  Can you please post this on iNaturalist ? Just to record the observation in your area (there's nothing wrong with having this species in your area so don't worry). Source: about 1 year ago

• Any idea as to what this is? Apparently it’s Ceryerda cursitans but I’m not sure.

  If possible, please post this photo (and make a new post for every different one you find around your house) on iNaturalist :). Source: over 1 year ago

• Help with ID - Dallas, TX

  Head over to iNaturalist and look at all the spiders in Dallas. It's good to learn what species you have in your area. You've got 4 different Widow species and obviously Brown Recluses up in Dallas. Source: over 1 year ago

  Maybe add it to https://inaturalist.org/ then it'll be preserved in history forever. Source: over 1 year ago
