I just think it's so funny that there's like 20 guys in nature that are brightly colored because they're poisonous/venomous but there's like twenty-MILLION guys in nature that are brightly colored because they're really super duper hoping everyone will THINK they're poisonous/venomous. There's more sheep than wolves here I think.

Under sea ecosystems are bullshit.

Like imagine you're a little rabbit and you go to nibble on a tree sapling but as soon as you go to take a bite it takes off like a fucking helicopter and disappears over the horizon.

Then, before you can process what just happened, the entire patch of grass you were standing on turns out to be a fox who had turned itself inside out and you die.

help people on the last post being like "who is possibly having drama on iNaturalist" buddy you have no idea. every single corner of that website is mired in drama that you cant even imagine. every identifier leaderboard is regularly having hatfield and mccoy level schisms. there are published experts getting into heated arguements dozens of comments long under a bad cellphone photo of a snake. every power user has a list of at least 3 other users who they would physically fight in an instant given the opportunity.

you took a bunch of people who are all insanely intense about extremely niche topics and put them in the same website, what did you expect? its a miracle we stop long enough to identify anything

and we're still not as bad as bugguide

I love when you post a species on inat and seconds later someone called "salamandergirl" "solidagoman" or "troutlilly_identifier" swoops in to ID it. Like yeah, you know what youre about. I trust your ID of my Bombus bimaculatus, "bombusboy200"
