700 "Species"
This Project hit that milestone today. Even without any new Observations, that number is always subject to fluctuation do to changing community identifications.
This has been a gradual build-up since December of last year, when we hit 600 "Species":
- I'm trying to regain the top spot in the Home Projects Umbrella Project for number of observations. The gaps was in the thousands earlier this year. I've now closed the gap to less than 800. I expect to regain the lead by the end of September.
- I've been actively going out almost every day to add more Observations. Just because I'm observing more intently, I'm finding things I've never seen before.
- I invested in a new camera and macro ring light rig. I've adapted my old macro lens to this, and i'm getting great shots. This combination is giving me the anatomical details needed to get to lower-level taxon identification, including species level.
