"But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the seas inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?" Job 12:7-9

I really, really, really... wish that I had found iNat sooner, it's perfect for me!!! I love iNat and don't foresee a time where I will ever stop using it. I think iNat is the greatest place to show others what I have found and converse with others about what something is. I'm only 14, and I just started iNat in March 2020 and now it's August 2020 when I'm writing this and I've already found 7 undescribed plants and animals and 8 species where I have the only research grade observation(s) ever of them on iNat!! I've also found lots of very rare species where I do not have the only sighting and I keep track of all of them in a Google Doc. I've always been interested in being a naturalist as a hobby. I've been lifting up rocks to look for bugs since I was 18 months old and have been doing research ever since. I know a lot about insects and plants alike but I also just really learning about anything and everything and have a wide range of knowledge. I like insects better the plants but plants just sit there for you while you take a picture which makes it so much easier! I'm very interested in foraging for edible plants so any help on that would be greatly appreciated. I also love wild docile snakes, more specifically Natricine Snakes, but I really just love all the different complex aspects of God's creation and I love being a Texan. Being in the outdoors is just amazing and iNat definitely gets me out and about. Check out my outdoor YouTube channel 3AG OUTDOORS, hence my username :) I do anything outdoors on my channel from foraging to biking to airsoft to fishing and have a great time doing it!
