Citizen science

Two projects regarding invasives have caught my eye.

Imapinvasives send me updates from time to time, although I have yet to make room for their app on my phone and it looks difficult to input data otherwise.

Found this one today and want to keep track of it

I wish there weren't so many different apps to record information that I put into iNaturalist. I guess in the case of invasives they like negative reports, which is impossible to do in iNaturalist.

Journey North and eButterfly seem like they could use iNaturalist data, though.

Bee monitoring
This NYT article cited a group that was interested in having participants contribute bee data.

The article said you could email someone or sign up on the website but I don't see a sign up on the website. Two entymologists in PA are involved in it, though! They say it is a work in progress so hopefully will be up soon.
