I will not be able to log into iNaturalist frequently for several months starting on August 28, 2024.

If you have a question or comment that you would like me to see when I am able to log in, please send me a message so that I am guaranteed to see it.

I am a young naturalist with an interest for species of the Coreopsideae plant tribe. I also have an interest for beetles.

IDENTIFICATION:

I am not an expert. I make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. Please do not agree to my IDs without doing your own research

I mostly identify observations of the plant genus Coreopsis in the United States and eastern and central Canada. I am not familiar with the Coreopsis species of Central and South America.

If you have a question or comment about an identification, comment, observation, or other content I post to iNaturalist, please directly message me by clicking the message button in the top left corner of this page with links to the content.

If you have a question about anything regarding iNaturalist and the various features and quirks in it, I recommend to post your question to the iNaturalist Forums (https://forum.inaturalist.org/) where your question can be seen by iNaturalist users, volunteer curators and iNaturalist staff.
