For reference, this page (Frequently Asked Questions) https://north-coast-nsw.naturemapr.org/content/help-and-support

lists that information as well. It does take a little bit to get your head around how things work on this site, and identifications may be a bit slower in regions that don't have mods for a particular category yet.

For an added referrence, the first level of possiblities you see are what already have something identified within the New South Wales North Coast on here. When you hit 'can't find it', that takes it to what is known nationally in Nature Mapr. The third 'still can't find it' allows you to list a potential species, that then needs a moderator to create as a species and formally then identify your sighting.

@Watermelontree if you do the identify this sighting bit on this and go to the category that the species should be in, use the 'can't find it' button, then if you can't find it on that overall list for nature mapr hit 'still can't find it' you'll then be able to enter a new scientific name in that category. Nature Mapr doesn't have all species listed, particularly if we haven't had observations for a region yet for that species. For it to be then be 'formally' identified, there will need to be an expert for the category for this region, which varies across species as we still need to get new moderators on board. I'm speaking as a mod for the dragonflies and damselflies category across all of Australia. I hope this helps!

Yeah, @MatthewFrawley, I seriously considered not posting it, but figured it best for citizen science to have some benefit in the loss…
Will hold on the other one!
Unfortunately, no live Devils and no Auroras on this trip… Will just have to go back again soon.

Sad that the first sighting of the Tasmanian Devil on NatureMapr is deceased.
