BioBlitz Experience

During the BioBlitz, I explored campus and the Intervale Center. I participated in the Spectacular Nature Day, at the pond dipping table, and I was able to see a variety of creatures. My experience using iNaturalist was a lot of fun. I enjoyed getting confirmations of my identifications from others, and a couple times people were able to narrow down what I had seen. I also explored the iNaturalist website for the first time (previously I was only using the app), and I discovered new features of iNaturalist. I encountered twenty-two species. Looking around the globe, it seems that observations are dense either in cities or along bodies of water. 

Here are some of my observations on iNaturalist.
As one of my observations, I uploaded a blurry photo of this diving beetle. Just based on this, a stranger was able to a specific subspecies of a type of diving beetle.
