I do, although I just went and looked it and realized I haven’t actually used it in a couple of years (I downloaded it onto my current Android phone but never used it, before that I used it a lot on an old iPhone). I just reset my password so I could sign back in as it’s been so long! I guess I’ve mostly been using something called LeafSnap to identify plants but now that you’ve reminded of iNaturalist’s existence (despite it being RIGHT THERE on my phone) I’ll use it more again.
It genuinely annoys me that I'm so useless at identifying flora and fauna. Feels like a giant and inexcusable gap in my knowledge of the world, so as much as I can, I try to go beyond "ooh a bird!" or "hey, pretty flower!" Good for improving general observational skills as well.
I did Seti@Home too back in the day! I'll definitely look into some of these other projects (I already use iNaturalist)
Very cool ... do you like iNaturalist?

Nice! I'm glad to have reminded you of it. I might give it a whirl myself.
