Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Spiders

Spider diversity is underrated. I have 130 spider observations on iNaturalist, and 97 of them are in need of identification. Only twenty-one are research grade, meaning at least two people agree on the species level ID. (The difficulty in photographing them doesn’t help.)
