Друзья, закончился четвёртый месяц проекта, сейчас к нему присоединилось 264 (+31) наблюдателя, 258 (+27) из которых уже поделились своими наблюдениями.

На большей части страны шёл активный прилёт птиц, поэтому результаты апреля весьма впечатляющие: в проекте уже загружены наблюдения для 393 (+162) видов, общее количество наблюдений приближается к 95.000 (+33.000).

По итогам марта я прогнозировал, что к концу апреля появится пять наблюдателей, участвующих в проекте, котор...

Elytra: punctures irregular, not or poorly arranged in longitudinal rows, in places separated by smooth logitudinal costae; each elytron with a longitudinal costa, starting from the humerus and almost reaching the elytral apex; elytral setae sparse, yellowish or whitish in colour, curved.

Если у растения есть структуры, связанные с размножением - лучше постараться сфотографировать их тоже (можно добавить несколько фото к наблюдению, если на одном не помещаются). Например, у папоротников сорусы со спорангиями чаще всего расположены с нижней стороны листа - стоит сфотографировать и её тоже. У мхов можно постараться заснять коробочку, если она есть.

Spiders, but also unknown flying objects, have never been my friends - ok at a distance (social distancing), but not so cool too close.
Since I started using iNaturalist, I've been outside a lot more often and exploring nature (I think you can also see that in the number of observations 😜). But for the last few weeks I've been particularly fond of spiders and I can't get enough of them, especially the jumping spiders are so cute with their lovely faces.
I think exploring nature h...

The iNaturalist City Nature Challenge ran April 26-29 this year. I had a personal goal of getting 400 observations over the weekend, and barely pulled it off with 403. I saw a total of 96 species (100 was within reach, if I knew a couple more plants and didn't miss a butterfly) out of 148 total. 76 of those species were birds. Some sparrows, warblers, and shorebirds were on their way through. There was a Western Tanager on the second day, a lifer for me. I made a blog update about the ch...
