Nice write-up. I'm going to take another look at iNaturalist and see if I can figure out how to use it. I've been using PictureThis it identify plants, but iNaturalist sounds like it has a deeper purpose. Thanks for the heads-up.
Hi Diane - I use PictureThis when I'm weeding in my garden - I like the quick ident. And I've learned since finishing my article that iNat won't include invasive or native observations from my garden - observations have to be 'uncultivated' to be considered for research grade in iNat. Frankly, they should see my garden because it is mostly uncultivated! Anyway, I've been using iNat more - reporting on celandine in the woods etc. Thanks for letting me know. :^)

Those peoples are on my fav list too! eBird by Cornell Uni also does the same citizen science for birds.
:^) I didn't know that about eBird - I'll give it a try. I love my Merlin app ...
