Identifying Texas observations on iNaturalist: discovering, learning, and helping fellow naturalists

Description: iNaturalist has become one of the most popular citizen science platforms to share biodiversity information.  In Texas, over 200,000 naturalists have documented 30,000 species in 14 million observations on iNaturalist.  One of the highlights of iNaturalist is the verification process from other naturalists.  As we post an observation, we may use the computer vision to provide a suggestion of the species, but how can we be certain that it’s the correct ID?  In this program, we’ll talk about how we can help our fellow naturalists with the identification process.  This act of service not only welcomes them to the naturalist community but also helps us learn and discovery along with them.

Looking forward to talking with yall virtually about identifying on iNaturalist!
