About Nature Identification

The natural world doesn't sort itself neatly into "plants" and "animals." Spotter's Other category handles everything else — lichens, mosses, animal tracks, feathers, shells, corals, fossils, and more. Point, snap, and learn.

Tips for Better Identification

For tracks, photograph the track with something for scale (a coin or ruler) and show the overall track pattern.
For lichens and mosses, try to capture a close-up of the growth pattern and texture.
For feathers, lay them on a clean background and photograph from above.
