Socially Distant Bioblitz #10!!

Just over a day to our grand finale (?) bioblitzers! We would love it if all past and present participants tag some friends to join in the fun and help push us to that 100,000 mark observations :-D I am feeling the excitement build as time draws closer and can't wait to see what new observations are uploaded!

Here's the link to copy and share https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/socially-distant-bioblitz-10-18-2020
See you all soon.

15 hours and counting in my part of the world :-D

Greetings Fellow Bioblitzers,
I trust all is good in your part of the globe. Where I am in Trinidad and Tobago today is hot and sunny with the occasional shower. I hope for some showers to bring out more molluscs, fungi and some beetles tomorrow.

It's countdown time to our 10th SDB event and as nighttime/dawn draws in certain regions let us all make this the best in observations, identifications and a TRULY GLOBAL effort.
I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!

First observations should be arriving soon

It is nearly sunrise in Japan and eastern Australia, about when we can expect our first observations of the bioblitz to be posted. Enjoy the bioblitz! Please remember to stay safe :)
