Three Years into Mints of the Continental US and Canada
It has been three years since the creation of this project, and there has been significant progress both in the number of observations as well as the curation of decades of mint observations from the Continental US and Canada. The total number of verifiable observations in this project has increased from ~346k to ~883k, and the percentage of research grade has also increased from 71.93% to 78.55% in the last three years. A handful of people are making serious contributions to IDs, and an even larger number of observers are adding increasingly high quality images.
If you want some ideas for chipping away at IDs for this collection, check out previous posts or click on the links below.
- 6,369 observations stuck at family level.
- 963 observations stuck at subfamily level.
- 3,823 observations stuck at tribe or subtribe level.
- 65,392 observations stuck at genus level.
- 115,371 observations stuck at species level.

This link might be helpful to fish for some, too. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?captive=any&place_id=1&project_id=154686&subview=map&verifiable=any
That's a good link for nearly all unidentified mints! They're all excluded from the project because of their captive or otherwise "casual" status, but they're worth ID'ing nonetheless.
