Hi - I'm a community member (no scientific background) with a particular interest in pollinators.

I participated in the 2023 Rhode Island Bumblebee Survey (RIBS), a project of RI Department of Environmental Management Division of Fish & Wildlife. I'm planning to participate in upcoming years as well.

None of my observations for the RIBS survey appear in iNaturalist as they are already counted in the survey.

Thanks in advance for any IDs you are able to provide on my observations! They help me learn as I go.
