Nice photographs of Paridotea ungulata (Idoteidae) on iNaturalist's blog right now. Lime green isopods that live on kelp. #isopods #tasmania #ocean #marine #seaweed #nature #australia #inaturalist #photography #nature inaturalist.org/blog/108332-sp

iNaturalistSponsored by Lime Jell-O? - Observation of the Week, 3/25/25Our Observation of the Week is this Paridotea ungulata isopod, seen in Australia by @moth_nut! Currently living in Tasmania and working with the Australian National University and researching habitat suitability, threats, and effective management strategies for some of Australia’s most endangered birds, Tom Hunt’s childhood was spent in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia.  Surrounded by bushland and birds, I have been a keen nature lover and photographer for as long as I can remember. That passion eventually shaped my career, taking me across Australia as an ecologist working on conservation projects. My work is driven by a desire to help, in some small way, to reverse Australia’s alarming extinction rates and protect the wildlife that makes this country so special. As such, I have a particular interest in threatened species monitoring and management. After studying at The University of Adelaide, I spent over a decade working on conservation and restoration projects in South Aust...

Oh, die #Rostgans ist bei #iNaturalist die erste Beobachtung auf #Köln|er Stadtgebiet. Und verglichen mit den meisten anderen Fotos aus D'dorf usw. habe ich wirklich Glück gehabt, dass sie so nah so ruhig dasaß. Sie ging (zurecht) davon aus, dass ihr da oben auf der Pappel niemand etwas anhaben kann. Ansonsten ist die Ecke nämlich wegen der vielen frei laufenden Hunde nicht so doll für die Beobachtung scheuer Vögel.

I uploaded my insect photos from this month from our house to #iNaturalist, and got this new moth species for our property. It's the gold-flecked Dryadaula, *Dryadaula pactolia*, endemic to NZ.

Wikipedia tells me that it's got to Europe and the "larva feeds on the fungus Zasmidium cellare found in wine cellars and breweries."

No, we don't have a wine cellar or a brewery in our house. Maybe one of the neighbours? I bet they eat other things too.

I've been seeing both of these species popping up on iNat back in Louisiana, and it's got me daydreaming about spring ephemerals and wondering what I might find and learn here in Oregon as we have our warmest day of the year so far.

I wrote this last year about a little plant and a little butterfly & being surprised by the little things that can just pop up if we let them be here and take the time to appreciate them when they are.

An opportunity shot, showing the sizes between three common egrets (left to right): Little Egret (Egretta garzetta), Medium Egret (Ardea intermedia) and Great Egret (Ardea alba). Taken at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve on 15 Dec 2025.

Three birds on the shore of a wetland pond. On the left is a small egret with white feathers and a black beak. On the right is a slightly bigger egret with white feathers and a yellow beak. On the extreme right is an egret twice as tall with a yellow beak.

First Known Photographs of Living Specimens

inaturalist.org/projects/first

iNaturalistFirst Known Photographs of Living SpecimensThis project is designed to showcase the first known photographs of living specimens of any species. Note that by 'first known' I'm referring to the first known photographs of a species anywhere, not just the first photographs to be submitted to iNaturalist. Two types of observation will be included: 1) First photographic records of undescribed species e.g. this Gasteracantha sp. 2) First photographic records of already described (but obviously relatively uncommon or cryptic) species e.g. this wasp fly. If the male and female of a species are sexually dimorphic, then both are valid to be added to the project. So too if a species has distinct life stages (eg caterpillar/chrysalis/butterfly), they are all valid to be separately added to the project (assuming the other rules apply). Please only add observations depicting live organisms; this therefore excludes specimens such as pinned insects. If you see an observation currently in the project that you know is not the first photograph ...
