During this coronavirus 'stay at home' situation, I hope iNaturalist is serving as an enriching place for learning about biodiversity and sharing observations. The recent rains and cool weather make it a good time for finding snails and slugs. I hope you do! Stay healthy.

Snails and slugs Living in Metropolitan Environments (SLIME) is a community science project that aims to catalogue the biodiversity of terrestrial gastropods (land snails and slugs) in Southern California. The Natural History Museum's collection of land snails includes thousands of specimens from locations throughout the Southern California region and spans the last 100 years.

FAQs

Can I upload photos I already have?

Yes! As long as you know roughly when and where a photo was taken, older photos are welcome.

Who can do science with iNaturalist observations?

Anyone! All iNaturalist observations are open and freely available - to researchers, conservation practitioners, and curious individuals alike.

What does "research grade" mean?

When the community agrees on an identification, an observation becomes "research grade" and enters the global scientific record. Every identification can help get it there.

Do I need to know what I'm looking at?

Not at all! Share a photo, and a global community of naturalists can help you identify it.

Do I need to use the app?

On a desktop, iNaturalist.org works great. On a mobile device, the app gives you the best experience - especially for identifying species on the go.
