How do I use iNaturalist?
iNat provides a platform for me to share (and most importantly--keep organized) my observations and learn from people around the world. As a biologist and naturalist, I am interested in seeing and trying to understand variation: thus the repeated nature of my photos. When I get help with difficult groups (eg, Pleurothallis), I feel compelled to get more data/more photos to illuminate variation within a species or other grouping. I do not get bored with submitting many of the same species...On the contrary, this provides to me endless satisfaction and contemplation.
