Thank you everyone for helping with the huge Identification effort underway. If you can spare any time, please join in and help with identifications.
Special thanks to our heavy duty identifiers. You can see who they are here:

Of our 113,897 observations
So what now?
Phase 1: Unknowns:
We need everyone to muck in here please. We need to move these 18,566 Unknown observations to family or lower level.
Phase 2: IDs above family:
(You can filter further by adding your preferred group in the "search species" box.)
If you would like to focus on your city, then add it to the "place" box at the top of the filter.
Invertebrates: help ID Insects, Arachnids, Molluscs and Worms to family or lower here and
Option help ID Insects, Arachnids, Molluscs and Worms without Moths to family or lower here
Phase 3: Specialists.
Can specialists please start clearing your orders, families, tribes and genera.
Good luck: summaries will be posted below, until we enter the next phase.
More details can be found here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2024-southern-africa/journal/93660-phase-ii-identifications
Remember to mark any observations that are planted or captive by ticking the Captive-Cultivated box.
(both of these can be done at the bottom of the Left Hand Panel.
