If you like exploring biodiversity, give #DuoNat a try, too :)
I use it to learn to distinguish birds by sight, and I love it!
The link is set to "Bird species in North America", but it aims to cover all life groups.

First I had no idea, but then I found the distinguishing characteristic, and *boom* :D
Check tutorial behind help button.
is it a ladybeetle?
is it a staphylinid?
is it a chrysomelid?
noo! it's a tenebrionid :D
I love #DuoNat so much :D
I had no idea #Tenebrionidae are so weirdly diverse!

I'll add modes "both taxa from same region" and "limit to hierarchy level x" later.

@gork do you think #DuoNat is the best app for #biodiversity exploration, and totally worth supporting with USD7 per month?
Gulf fritillary vs Painted Lady
if you're in the mood to try #DuoNat and give feedback about its nascent lepidoptera section, I'd love to hear from you :)

Encyrtidae vs Eupelmidae. Check the tutorial behind the help button.
just added Eupelmidae vs Encyrtidae to #DuoNat :)
and while doing so realized that I have almost all bees and ants for Hymenoptera, need to change that asap!

150 hymenoptera pairs and only one is Chalcidoidea it's embarassing ;)
If you have any suggestions what other owls you'd like to see on #DuoNat, drop me a note :)

Hey, is #FlyWeek still on?? :D I just spent all day adding flies to #DuoNat, hoping that now I can finally get a feeling for how they are all related. Maybe so can you :)
this game is set to "Diptera". check the tutorial behind the help button.
I'm currently developing #DuoNat, and I'm not using cc-by-nc for now, because I might have to charge for it to cover the costs (hope not though)… I need at least 8 good-enough-quality per taxon. not there yet for A. quinquenotata :P

DuoNat set to Neuroptera, this pair is Owlflies vs Dragonflies. Check the tutorial behind the help button.
baby owlflies, camouflaging as grass seeds. it took me *three* takes to realize they are actually not! this was in Borneo. one of my all-time favorite observations! https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/158568006
another favorite observation of mine :) this one from Hong Kong. it was iNaturalist's observation of the day in 2017. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/7760426
In 2023, I finally found an adult owlfly, in Thailand :) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/150816637
Have you ever seen an #owlfly? :)
duo-nat.web.app?pairId=606&l...
They are are related to #antlions and #lacewings, and superficially resemble #dragonflies!

Beetle flies! How to play? Check the short tutorial behind the help button.
Still struggling with getting a feeling for the larger Brachycera groupings :D
God may have an inordinate fondness for beetles; I have one for #flies :D
@alexwild.bsky.social you once said if not ants, you should have done #diptera. I feel you!
#DuoNat has 150 pairs of diptera so far: duo-nat.web.app?level=all&ph...

Two dance fly families. Check the relationship using the ancestry button next to the chilis on the top left.
Dance flies!! :DD
the top image (awesome shot by #iNaturalist's @kueda.sfba.social.ap.brid.gy ) shows them carrying a nuptial gift.

this pair is hard (3 chilis)!! (at least for me)
#DuoNat #biodiversity #diptera
HA! found one more: www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1460129... - #Micropezidae!
but only two observations, so can't include it in #DuoNat.
Celyphidae vs Chrysomelidae. Start with the short tutorial behind the help button.
How cool are beetle flies :D
duo-nat.web.app?pairId=3808&...
TIL that they're related to Lauxaniidae, which I always confuse with Drosophilidae.
I love the "ancestry" button (top next to the chili) for this!

Cyrtodiopsis from Thailand. These were mingling with the Megalabops :) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/147260901
thanks, didn't know these :) I added some pairs to #DuoNat to learn to distinguish them from Plagiocephalus and Diopsidae (which are the only ones I knew + photographed)

and yes, I added them to #DuoNat of course :D

no idea if this is for you, but if you want, give #DuoNat a try, a #biodiversity app I'm currently developing: duo-nat.web.app
currently, the 3,500 available pairs are hand-curated, so not many moths from Sweden I'm afraid :D
I'm trying to find my audience, so any feedback much appreciated :)
Lyssomanes viridis (Salticidae) vs Peucetia viridans (Oxyopidae) Drag name to image. Swipe left for next pair.
Thanks for the suggestion, keep them coming :)
This game is set to pairs with Lyssomaninae.
