Many of these have been identified with Seek by iNaturalist (for organic materials) or compared with google images (for rocks and minerals). Because of this, the names may have been misidentified, despite my best efforts. If I know for a fact the name of a specimen, it will be marked with a * in the title. Specimens identified with outside resources will be unmarked. Specimens that I was unable to identify will just be named after a physical trait. Sorry for the inconvenience!

If you live in US, please take care to kill any lanternflies you see. They are very easy to identify and they're invasive!

This is probably the smallest flower that I've ever seen! Most of the whole thing is in frame, which is uncommon for many, many, specimens
