Malcolm Storey created and maintains https://www.bioimages.org.uk , a huge catalogue of high-resolution images of most animals that can be found in the British Isles, except for birds and other vertebrates.

Offers one of the most comprehensive catalogue of #Ichneumonidae images with special emphasis on macro photography to illustrate species-diagnostic features.

Malcolm has been identifying thousands of parasitoid wasps at #iNaturalist – that's how I found out. Thanks so much for all your work.

That sounds great; it also sounds like the world needs this to be done for each and every part of the world!
@dougmerritt Indeed! Already many such projects exist, but aren't aggregated. iNaturalist got a leg up because of how the community was built, in addition to lowering the barriers of entry for contributing. But I see iNaturalist and these other efforts as complementary; the latter are often expert-only and group specific like Bug Guide https://bugguide.net/node/view/15740 and Diptera Forum https://diptera.info/forum/ to name two.
