sha sha sha! pocket pheremones!
That website had a crazy amount of publicity lately here in Melbourne because it was involved in a triple homicide case!
A lady was found guilty of murdering some family members of her ex-husband at a lunch by serving poisonous mushrooms she located using iNaturalist. Cooked into a Beef Wellington, of all things.
The trial was something of a sensation, seemed like it was all anyone talked about for the couple months it was going on.
The guilty last, Erin Patterson, is currently awaiting sentencing.
I’m still looking for a good app to identify insects (mostly in Europe). Is iNaturalist the best?
Seek is also a decent alternative if you want quick results with minimal steps. It’s a more casual experience. You basically scan your specimen with Seek on live video and it identifies it in real-time. You miss out on the iNaturalist community help, but you can link Seek to your iNaturalist account to share observations.
It is.
- good automatic id
- manual id by scientists or enthusiasts
- you develop your own Pokédex
- you provide data for scientific research
Also, if you put your image(s) under a compatible license (CC BY-SA or less restrictive), we on Wikipedia also pull from iNaturalist for images to add to Wikimedia Commons. It helps a surprising amount.
