  That website had a crazy amount of publicity lately here in Melbourne because it was involved in a triple homicide case!

  A lady was found guilty of murdering some family members of her ex-husband at a lunch by serving poisonous mushrooms she located using iNaturalist. Cooked into a Beef Wellington, of all things.

  The trial was something of a sensation, seemed like it was all anyone talked about for the couple months it was going on.

  The guilty last, Erin Patterson, is currently awaiting sentencing.

  I’m still looking for a good app to identify insects (mostly in Europe). Is iNaturalist the best?

    It is.

    • good automatic id
    • manual id by scientists or enthusiasts
    • you develop your own Pokédex
    • you provide data for scientific research

      If you put it under a compatible license (CC BY-SA or less restrictive), we on Wikipedia also pull from iNaturalist for images to add to Wikimedia Commons. It helps a surprising amount.

      That sounds very promising. Thanks for the info.

    Seek is also a decent alternative if you want quick results with minimal steps. It’s a more casual experience. You basically scan your specimen with Seek on live video and it identifies it in real-time. You miss out on the iNaturalist community help, but you can link Seek to your iNaturalist account to share observations.

      I’ll try iNaturalist first but if that doesn’t work for my use case I’ll have a look at Seek. Thank you.

    There was a recent drama around it which had to do with generative AI they wanted to use in the app.

    I found obsidentify more reliable than inaturalist/seek
