@dougmerritt Indeed! Already many such projects exist, but aren't aggregated. iNaturalist got a leg up because of how the community was built, in addition to lowering the barriers of entry for contributing. But I see iNaturalist and these other efforts as complementary; the latter are often expert-only and group specific like Bug Guide https://bugguide.net/node/view/15740 and Diptera Forum https://diptera.info/forum/ to name two.

Malcolm Storey created and maintains https://www.bioimages.org.uk , a huge catalogue of high-resolution images of most animals that can be found in the British Isles, except for birds and other vertebrates.
Offers one of the most comprehensive catalogue of #Ichneumonidae images with special emphasis on macro photography to illustrate species-diagnostic features.
Malcolm has been identifying thousands of parasitoid wasps at #iNaturalist – that's how I found out. Thanks so much for all your work.

So Hornet is... *checks notes* a spider, and the other thing is... um... a flea.
Sure. Checks out.

“A spider lives inside my head
Who weaves a strange and wondrous web
Of silken threads and silver strings
To catch all sorts of flying things,
Like crumbs of thoughts and bits of smiles
And specks of dried-up tears,
And dust of dreams that catch and cling
For years and years and years...”
― Shel Silverstein
#MothOfTheDay is a stunner.
You may recognise it from my profile pic, but one came to visit the #moth box last night. The gloriously beautiful #green and black mosaic of:
MERVEILLE DU JOUR
Griposia aprilina
Larvae feed on oak.
One of my absolute favourite moths of the year.

Rain shafts like this sunset pink-tinged one I painted in my Perpetual Journal are to me a quintessential feature of our Southwest U.S. landscape! BTW, I saw NO Sphinx Moth larvae this summer in our Tucson, AZ yard. 🤔

Watch out: the weather is warming and the American ragwort aphids are *multiplying*.
American ragwort aphids specialise on Senecio plants, of which NZ has many species, including some threatened endemic species.
The aphid arrived in NZ (somehow) in 2023, and has since got to work munching on our plants. The American aphids are also now being tended and protected by exotic Australian ants.
In the South Island these aphids are still restricted to Christchurch city (at least based on observations on #iNaturalist and #GBIF).
It would be great if you could keep a look out for them in other places. They're the only big black aphid in NZ (black bodies and legs).
Here are three of my observations of them from this month.
