I'm a retired computer scientist and have been an active amateur naturalist since 1983. I spend a lot of time in the field (and woods) and am putting more effort into observing small insects. I live next to Shenandoah National Park and do most of my hiking there. iNat is an amazing resource! I can't imagine how much I would miss it if it went away. I am very grateful to the people who take time to provide identifications for my observations.
