How College Students helped me find thousands of species

One of the first emails I ever sent from Learn Adventurously was for our BioBlitz in 2022.In case you missed it, I ran an international competition encouraging anyone to pull out their phone and record biodiversity to iNaturalist. The twist is that I gamified the observations based on a point system from my undergraduate field herpetology course.I wasn’t expecting how popular it would be.In 2022, we had over 200 observers record 10,000 observations spanning over 2700 species!That […]

Biodiversity in your city june 2021

contest winners Previous Next What was this project? Through June of 2021, we challenged anyone with a cell phone connection to document biodiversity all over the world. We accomplished this through a community project on iNaturalist.com, a website and application where users can document biodiversity for science. By using a free and open platform we were able to document over 8500 observations, of over 2600 species from all over the globe. View more observations from […]

Mit der BioBlitz-Methode haben Schüler:innen der 7.–9. Klasse im Religionsunterricht ihren Schulhof auf Pflanzen und Tiere untersucht.

Das sagen die Schüler:innen zur Methode im Unterricht!

Unfortunately, we're in a pretty deep cold snap and snow for a couple of weeks. I'm itching to get out, but it's a bad time to spot anything new on the ground, and I don't think much will be growing except crust and jelly fungi until the next warm spell. However, I found out a winter mycoblitz was happening and managed to pick and dry a few specimens to send in. I enjoy nature but don't have a science background, so I can only hope I did things properly and that they'll be able to sequence some DNA from them.

The first is an interesting cluster of white waxcap-looking mushrooms that I found growing in leaf litter under hardwoods. My first thought was Hygrophorus eburneus, cowboy's handkerchief, though the tops were merely sticky instead of slimy; or else Hygrophorus sordidus. Perhaps I'm wrong and they're not waxcaps at all, but I really hope DNA will solve the mystery. None of my online mushroom connections seem to have any more confident input.

For the second, I managed to swipe another of the tiny earthstar specimens from under the snow. I hope it's not too old for DNA sampling..other people on iNaturalist think it could be four-rayed earthstar, Geastrum quadrifidum, after all, but we'll see. It's at least fun to give this a try. #nature #fungi #mushroom #mushrooms #mycoblitz #bioblitz #mycology

Tiu (#Passer domesticus) House Sparrow standing on a fence post.

Usually I don't like these chirpy rapey bastards but this one was standing quietly for the moment. Fairly good colour contrast and I managed to get a few snaps off.

Submitted for the iNaturalist Southern Hemisphere Bio Blitz, even though I'm (sadly) pushing Tiu all the way up the species leaderboard.

There's a bioblitz for all of the southern hemisphere? That's great!

Yes, it's the annual *Great Southern Bioblitz*, and it starts today and runs for 4 days.

All iNaturalist observations made between 24–27 October in participating regions and countries automatically get added to the Great Southern Bioblitz project. That includes all of New Zealand's regions.

Last year, 9,322 people found 27,015 species. Let's see what we can all find in 2025.

GREAT SOUTHERN BIOBLITZ 2025 / GRANDE BIOBLITZ DO HEMISFÉRIO SUL / GRAN BIOBÚSQUEDA DEL SUR (English below/ Português abaixo / Español abajo) ##October 24th-27th 2025 (observation period) ## Upload period ends 10th of November 2025 (Upload and Identification) # Discover what wild things inhabit the Southern Hemisphere in the Great Southern BioBlitz! The ‘Great Southern BioBlitz’, or ‘GSB’ for short, is an international period of intense biological surveying in an attempt to record all the living species across the Southern Hemisphere in Spring. As we are international, in Spanish we are known as 'Gran Biobúsqueda del Sur’, while in Portuguese we are known as ‘Grande BioBlitz do Hemisfério Sul’. The purpose of this event is to highlight both the immense biodiversity spread across the Southern Hemisphere in the flourishing springtime, as well as to engage the greater public in science and nature learning. By the end of October, the natural world is on full throttle. Flowers are bloomi...
