I don't use the app. Some orchids need a close up for id purposes and my el-cheapo phone just isn't up to it, so I use a real camera and then post on the website.
This type of citizen science is incredibly useful. The orchid survey I contribute to has found the endangered Sydney Plains Greenhood in several previously unknown locations. I still haven't found one of these myself yet but I will keep looking now I know they are not as rare as was previously thought.

With my newfound iNat wisdom, I can tell you that's likely a Southern Marbled Gecko.

Saw this in Forrest (Victoria) on the weekend while pulled over for a breather on the Yaugher trails, was a new one for me...

Have been seeing these critters darting across the fire road on the climbs back to the top of the trails lately. Usually it's a quick zoom past which makes it hard to ID,.I was sure they weren't mice and probably a native marsupial...today this little guy was having a nap on the verge of the fire road, probably trying to catch some sun as it was pretty fresh up on the hill, and I managed to get a pic. Could have probably picked it up as it was well and truly asleep. Gave it a prod and much to it's disgust, it wandered under the nearest shrub.
Anyway confirmed it's a Dusky Antechinus, first year seeing them here, maybe the prolonged wetness has driven them higher up the mountain, not sure. Pretty cool anyway.

Used to have thousands of these flying around my suburb each year where I grew up. Got to be at least 35 years since I've seen one - no idea what they're called, used to just accuse them of being tiger moths.
Had one of these drop on my head when I opened the back door last week.
Dig me some geckos.

I think that's the informal name for them - Yellow-banded Dart is their "common" name (I can't do Latin, sorry...
). Don't see many of them here either sadly, but at least one here or there in the summertime still.Yep, love 'em too. I've seen that one (at a guess) again since, and a smaller one that is presumably an offspring too. Lucky to have them!

This has got to be my favourite capture of the year. This wasp had ripped the legs off a huntsman and was busy injecting its larvae (?) into its, err, host... It was not mucking about. It flew off after a bit and I moved the remains of the huntsman somewhere a bit more discreet than the middle of my garden path!

has some good things to say
We currently have a few spiders secreted away in the floor of our chook house by something similar - one does not get too curious a second time as the telling off is memorable.This has got to be my favourite capture of the year.

Ohhh did you get stung? Ive read its a memorable experience even for those who study stinging insects.
One insect has the most painful sting in Australia, and this scientist knows firsthand
Sam Robinson is a scientist who gets stung in the name of understanding pain. And he's rated the pain from bites and stings by some Aussie animals and plants.

Get a balaclava!
The quendas around my folks' place were pretty friendly last night. Had no issues being on the grass less than a couple of meters from me. One even ran around someone's legs.
