Today I had one of my mystery bugs identified. It didn't happen passively. After many days of stump-the-chumps, i emailed a zoologist, who knew a beetle guy, who contacted a moth gal, who nailed it.
Gratitude!
Pleasing to see this technology/medium/community living up to its potential. And even more pleasing to pass that ID along to others who had seen the bug in other venues. And to study the distribution map for this oddball creature, and to feel a part of that.
I think I am hooked.
