Thanks Yasser for following my postings. You've done a great job in creating this simple and fantastic program called Noah Project to motivate layman nature lovers like me who didn't know how to express or contribute to the cause. It's taught me a lot. Now I can differentiate between dragonfly and damselfly. Now I'm mostly successful to photograph finicky fliers like butterflies with my mobile phone! Thanks Noah Project; thanks Yasser.

Thanks all! Jemma, it was my first time at Mt Diablo and it was really awesome. The guys at iNaturalist arranged a moth event with Jerry Powell, a world authority on moths and insects. It was a good turn out and we were out late. Lots of fun! You're lucky to live so close to such a wonderful place!
