I could have sworn I heard a shining cuckoo at Foster Park in Rolleston this evening… but it shouldn’t be here this time of year, should it? #birds #iNat

First #swift in the whole #Belgium this year according to #iNat
Maybe we should call it summer already.

Siete tutti invitati al "Museo Civico di Storia Naturale" di Morbegno, SO il 15h Aprile. Parlerò della piattaforma iNaturalist.org per botanici e amanti della natura di ogni livello. iNat e' una base dati per la biodiversità che raccoglie milioni di osservazioni naturalistiche in tutto il mondo fatte principalmente da non professionisti come me e voi. #iNat e' diventata rapidamente la principale piattaforma al mondo di "citizen scientist"

One of the high points of this weekend's Staten Island adventure was seeing a "lichen-carrying lacewing," Leucochrysa pavida. #bugstodon #insects #photography #iNat https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/150276270

Not much #nature to #iNat in Center City #Philadelphia in winter but these tiny pseudoscorpions, under some peeling tree bark, scared the hell out of me.

One crawled up my finger claws extended, like attack attack!

But are apparently harmless except to even smaller #springtails.

So, who here is into iNaturalist? If you're not, you should be! If you are, my info is in my bio, should you wanna follow observations.

I'm organizing the Monterey Bay area 2023 City Nature Challenge, so if you live in Monterey or Santa Cruz Counties and want more info, just ask!

Depressingly few birds out today, so I turned my attention to the trees and what was growing on them. Discovered a fascinating array of lichens and fungi. I believe this is a Smooth Saucer lichen (Ochrolechia laevigata), but we'll see if I get corrected or not.

My wife told me that lichens sound "every bit as interesting as moths". I won't cook her dinner tonight, the sassy wench.
