On account of the snow and cold, #InverteFest in these parts doesn't involve making new observations on #iNaturalist.

So I've been working on some other things:

1. posting pics on social media with the hashtag (never enough photos of all the cool inverts out there!)

2. editing #Wikipedia. This morning I spent some time working on Ampelomyia. This genus of midges induces galls on grape plants:
- added all 4 species to #Wikidata
- added some basic biology and distribution data, and photos, to Wikipedia articles for 2 species

Reminder to all iNaturalist users: please consider updating the licensing of the photos you upload to iNat so they can be used in Wikipedia articles. The default setting on iNat doesn't allow for use in Wikipedia.
