Understanding and Using the List

1. This list is derived from observations posted in the app iNaturalist. The observations here include those iNat classified as “research grade” or “needs id”. Observations in this latter category were not confirmed by others, but were reviewed for this listing.  Some of the tentative "needs id" identification were omitted due to conflicting or questionable assignment. As well, any "need id" identifications solely to family or genus level were omitted if there were other exact identifications for species within the group.

2. The common name is followed by the scientific name in parentheses. In some cases, there may be no common name.

3. Errors in tabulation, grouping, or links may have occurred - these are a mess of data - the error is mine.
