You Personal Bioblitzers are amazing this year. We are already over 20 000 observations and nearly 4000 species! Last year we had about 25 000 observations and 4500 species during the whole bioblitz, so we are on track to break ALL records. Keep reporting, looking, help each other to identify things, and remember to look at the small things that beg to be noticed, like mosses, arthropods, and shells. Wherever you are there are things to explore!

Keep it up, this is fantastic!

Wow, you just broke the record of most observations ever, and we are just halfway through the 2021 Personal BioBlitz. The old record was from 2020 with 25584 observations total. We are past that now, and more will come! Will we get to 30 000? 35 000? Incredible.

There is one more record to break: The number of species/taxa. The record is 4874 - can you get about 200 more species into the Personal Bioblitz this year? I bet you can! So many species has yet to show up as part of migration or spring/early summer plants. Keep the observations and species flowing in, and this is a year like no other! Remember, every species and every observation, and every observer counts!

Take care!

Wow, the record of most species seen during the Personal Bioblitz was just broken, and you all did this together. I have a feeling that the Australian species helped a lot!

Now, another month left, how far can you take this? Are we going to get a record that can't be broken next year? :)

I know most of my observations are still in my camera, and I bet I am not alone in this, so keep them coming. You have until May 15 to look and report, and bring out the handlenses, microscopes, binoculars, and look at the big and small. There is a lot of small things that have species names :)

Keep the observations flowing in!
Take care, Lena
