## Day 2 Monsoon Beauty 26
On day 1 i was in a nice garden, surrounded by a larg area of green gardens. After a bit of patience saw a good number of insects, some spiders, cultivated & (a few)wild plants.
2 highlights are here https://mastodon.social/@ramkay/116925261277078107
Today was harder, different place less plants - so took some searching to find something. Eventually got a restng butterfly ?

#ThrowbackThursday to November 2025, when Local Haze appeared in the bridge newspaper with our piece on low-cost air quality monitors & wildfire smoke.
Wildfire smoke is the new urban reality. Real-time hyperlocal data is your shield. Community-driven. Data-powered. Empowering.

:boost_requested: A web & ap suggestion to help you get off of iNaturalist - especially for Europeans and some Caribbean nations! (Read my pinned post to learn about why, as a scientist who used to love it, I now recommend leaving iNat.) https://observation.org/
Observation.org is a site older than iNaturalist, with the same basic concept, but some huge key differences. Like iNat, they use traditional computer learning to create a database to help identify creatures from photos; sadly that feature is only available for Europe and a few other countries. However, anyone anywhere can contribute! Observations that are confirmed are pushed to GBIF, a database that scientists use, similar to how "research grade" on iNat is pushed to GBIF.
How does an observation become verified? Well, volunteer experts (both academia and community experts alike) are tasked with this validation. This is a bit different than iNat, which is built on "anyone can confirm an ID". Validation is thus slower, however, can be argued to be more accurate as someone cannot just go through and auto-agree with a computer-suggested ID without actual human knowledge validation, which happens a lot on iNat. I have some colleagues in Europe who when they use GBIF they actually don't even bother with iNat and filter out those observations. Can you volunteer as an expert? Certainly! There is an application process.
You own all your own data on observation.org - You retain all intellectual property rights to your media, and you have full control over how your data is shared and the licensing of your media files. This includes deleting your data whenever you wish. You can find more information on this here: https://observation.org/tos/
I emailed and asked specifically about their current and future AI use plans, especially regarding things like GenAI. They clearly understood the differences and harms, and to quote a part of the reply, "We currently have no plans to incorporate LLMs or generative AI. Our focus is on using and developing AI to assist with species identification, and we do this in close collaboration with scientific institutions such as Naturalis Biodiversity Centre. We always adhere to EU law and directives."
I have been using it a bit, and I find it lacks a lot of our cave invertebrates but it is much more European focused. This is going to be a downside for many, but the good news is that you can get species added - there is a process for that. And, most of our critters and plants and such do seem to be in it. Either way, even my rare findings are able to still be pushed to GBIF in this manner, it's just slower is all.
If you want the gamification and fast pace of iNat, you won't like observation.org.
If you thirst for careful identification, sharpening your skills outside of using computer assist, and still being able to contribute to GBIF, and knowing that the site will not be enshittified...well you will probably enjoy it! My guess is it did not take off because it is 'Less Accessible' due to limited ID help and slower confirmation and feedback. But, I think the people sick and tired of iNat will be the kind of people who enjoy Observation.org!

More guidebook suggestions to help you get off of iNaturalist (Read my pinned post to learn about why, as a scientist who used to love it, I now recommend leaving iNat.)
Butterflies! So charismatic, aren't they? Luckily they are pretty easy to ID without any prior knowledge or learning much about scientific terms. If you are like me, you may have troubles translating drawings of animals in the guidebooks to how to tell what you took a photo of. This is why I really like the Swift guide for butterflies because it does a wonderful job with full color photos, and lines pointing to exactly what to look at for similar species. The way it is laid out makes it pretty easy to find where you need to be within the guidebook as well. Extremely beginner-friendly!
Bookshop.org is a good site to buy from to not support billionaires as you can select a local bookshop to support with your purchase, here are some links:

During our special volunteer-powered digitization event, a team from CHASE stepped out of the office and into the archives—working side by side with our collection managers to bring history into the digital age. From cataloging to capturing, every click helps preserve stories for generations to come.

Just reported my first precipitation record (none!) to #CoCoRaHS, the #CommunityScience rain, hail, and snow project. My goals are to help meteorologists track and predict the weather, help researchers to get a grip on the climate crisis, and let me know when to water my garden. Folks in NC can get a free gauge right now through the Museum of Natural Sciences and the project offers help if $ is an issue.

#Webinar - #Marsh and #Stream Explorers: A Treasure Hunt to Find Healthy Freshwater #Habitats in #Maine
Apr 22 2026
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm"Curious about what critters live in your local streams and freshwater marshes? Come learn about Maine Marsh and Stream Explorers, a collaborative #CommunityScience project between #MaineAudubon and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (#MEDEP). This program trains volunteers to survey for #macroinvertebrates, or large #AquaticInsects, in streams and freshwater #marshes statewide. With many macroinvertebrates sensitive to temperature, #pollutants, and other environmental stressors, their presence or absence serve as an important indicator of overall wetland health. This data then becomes an invaluable screening tool for #MaineDEP to prioritize where more-indepth water quality assessments should be conducted.
"In this webinar you’ll learn about what the Marsh and Stream Explorers project has accomplished and its impact on water quality monitoring statewide. We’ll look at our overall results, share our successes, and talk about future goals of the project. If you’re interested in getting outdoors, learning something new, and protecting your local watershed, this community science project is for you! Come learn more about how you can get involved. In-person field training for survey techniques to follow."
