Helping others on iNaturalist

[Nicolasdperez]

Hello,

I recently began using iNaturalist to document what I find and help others identify specimens. I have had a lot of fun helping others ID in situ orchids they have seen, but I am limited in my orchid knowledge. However, I know that many here are much wiser and more experienced than me, so I decided to make this post to let others know so they can help use their orchid knowledge for scientific contributions. I have also learned about many new genera, species, and seen beautiful specimens through iNaturalist, so hopefully some of you may also enjoy utilising it.

Thank you for your time and help ,

Nicolas D. Perez

I will definitely follow you and check out your observations. I only have been contributing species from the pacific northwest recently, so I am interested to see and learn about some southwest. May I ask what type of research you are doing? I am interested to learn more.
