Diario del proyecto Discord iNaturalist Server

We're now accepting team members on Discord for our upcoming June Server Blitz (and it's a long blitz, too!) The dates will be June 17, 2022 - July 4 2022, from midnight to midnight in your specific time zone. That's 18 whole days of blitz!

The teams are:
Banana-tree Nightfighters https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/banana-tree-nightfighters-discord-inaturalist-2022-blitz
vs
Lemon-tipped Helicopters https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/lemon-tipped-helicopters-discord-inaturalist-2022-blitz

To join a team, if you're not yet a part of our Discord community, first join with https://discord.gg/uskv2yx and we'll orient you. If you're already a member of our Discord server, then sign up via the June blitz menu in #role-menus.

We are planning to announce any future blitzes in this project journal so that our community members have more chances to sign up and participate. To receive future updates from this page about our blitzes, press the green "Join" button, then set "receive journal updates" to yes.

When you "join" the blitz on the server, a moderator adds you to the "must be observed by" rules list; "joining" the project on iNat is a separate action; notice this also adds the link to this project for all your observations; same for each blitz project you "join".

Remember, our June 2022 bioblitz starts just as soon as today is over, at midnight in your time zone, Friday, June 17. That's just a handful of hours away in some parts of the world!

Since this is a long one, ending at the end of the day on July 4, again at midnight in your time zone, we've planned several side quests.

1. Lepidoptera (Butterflies and Moths)

• Observe as many Lepidoptera and as many species of them as you can.

2. Odonata (Dragonflies and Damselflies)

• Observe as many Odonata and as many species of them as you can.

3. Diptera (Flies)

• Observe as many Diptera and as many species of them as you can.

4. Iconic taxa

• For each of the Iconic Taxa we will count each team member who has at least one.
• That is, only the per-team tally of observers matters, so each competitor should try to find all 13!

5. Fruiting plants

• Annotate your observation Plant Phenology: Fruiting if it is in that stage.

6. Rainbow names

• Tag your observation rainbow if it has a colour in the name.
• e.g. Azure Bluet, but sorry, that still only counts as one!
• Or maybe you've found Azure Bluet instead? Cool! That scores both as a rainbow name and for the the Odonata side quest!

Observations at night

• Tag your observation night if you observed it after dark - roughly speaking, after sunset and before sunrise.
