2022 iNat in Review

Species observed by me in 2022
Orange: insects
Green: Plants
This is ironic; see below.


2022: I see I only interact with Jody, Amelia, and once with Charlie (a Vermont biologist)
Neylon is a syrphid specialist, beeboy is Vermont bee specialist, johnascher is internationally known for his bees

The irony: my most commented observation was a goldenrod gall.
That's because others and myself love the insects in them.


It was a better year for me on iNaturalist than the past three years. I hope to do more this coming season. I have also been slowly adding observations that I never posted in years past. The data on my 2022 year end review tells me a lot about myself. There is nothing new about what I see: I stay to myself and don't reach out much. I doubt that will change. There are so many memories of bug hunts and taking photos with Amelia and Jody . . . so many stories.
