Quick tips on how to distinguish these three orders from one another:
Frogs & Toads (Order Anura) infographic with four frog/toad photos and key traits: short body, long legs for jumping, no tail in adults, smooth or bumpy skin. Salamanders (Order Caudata) infographic with five salamander photos and key traits: elongated body with tail and four equal legs, most have smooth moist skin, some newts have dry rough skin. Caecilians (Order Gymnophiona) infographic with five photos of worm-like amphibians and key traits: legless body, smooth skin, burrowing or aquatic, tiny or covered eyes.

You can help make identifications on iNaturalist right from your computer! It’s the second week of our ID-a-thon, and we’re kicking it off with sorting amphibian observations into broad categories like frogs, salamanders, and caecilians. Learn more: tr.ee/identifyweek2 👀🐸✨
Grid of 12 amphibian photos on black background with text "Help Us Identify Amphibians" showing frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians in various colors and patterns. Infographic showing the three orders of amphibians with illustrated icons: Frogs & Toads, Salamanders, and Caecilians. Text explains all amphibians have moist skin and lack scales. Call-to-action slide with green frog icon encouraging viewers to contribute identifications on iNaturalist at tr.ee/identifyweek2.

This rare plant (Cardamine lojanensis) is only found in Ecuador, and you're potentially looking at the first living photos of the species!

Let us know what you want to see more (or less) of from this account!

If you have 3-ish minutes, we’d love to hear your thoughts via an anonymous, very short survey: tr.ee/1LRw8G

Thank you for your time! 💚

The creature you see here is a relative of snails, octopuses, and clams! This one here is possibly a Pink Spotted Jacket Tonicia (Tonicia calbucensis).

All you need to help make identifications on iNaturalist is a computer! Join our first-ever ID-a-thon and build your nature-identification skills — this week, we'd love your help sorting Unknown observations into broad categories. Learn more: tr.ee/identifyweek1
Graphic with black background featuring green silhouettes of diverse organisms including a crane, dragonfly, bear, spider, snake, jellyfish, starfish, lizard, mushrooms, butterfly, scorpion, snail, coral, cattails, and insects. White text reads "HELP US IDENTIFY" at top and "UNKNOWNS" at bottom. Slide with black background and white text explaining that anyone can help with identifications on iNaturalist by sorting unknown observations — defined as observations uploaded with no identification at all. Below shows a screenshot of the iNaturalist Identify interface displaying a grid of thumbnail photos all labeled "Unknown." Slide titled "WHAT YOU CAN DO" with three tips: add broad IDs like "Plants," "Insects," "Birds," or "Fungi"; start with what you recognize (example: ID a dragonfly as "Dragonflies"); and skip anything you're unsure about. Below shows an iNaturalist screenshot of a dragonfly observation being identified at the suborder level, with the Identify menu option circled in the navigation bar. Slide stating "You can contribute identifications from any computer, anywhere in the world" with a call-to-action link tr.ee/identifyweek1. Below shows the iNaturalist Identify filters panel with the "Unknown" category icon and "Filters" button circled in green, highlighting how to find unidentified observations.

It may not have wings, but you're currently looking at a moth! Specifically, an adult female Mottled Umber (Erannis defoliaria). Adult male Mottled Umbers have full wings.
