Thank You Everyone!
The first iNaturalist Summer Hunt has ended! Thank you for everyone who participated!!!
This was so much more of a success than I could have hoped for in the first year- 120,000 observations by 40 people is amazing!
While you all post your final observations from the timeframe, I will work on a more detailed statistics journal post- which should be ready by next week, to give everyone time to get the final observations in!
If you found a species that was a first recorded on iNat, like my observation of Machimus autumnalis or juan_sphex's observation of Fumariphilus versicolor, please share it in the comments! Also share rarer or uncommon observations that I can put in the stats post- some are difficult to find on my own.
Make sure to join for 2025's competition!
