Activity: May, June, July, and November 2022. Account suspended in-between and later reinstated.

Born Oct 1999 and study Computer Science. Currently primarily live in Rijeka, Croatia. The easiest way to see most of what I do is to have a look at the links below. It's centered around web development, singing, and scholarship.

On November 11^th, I became a Croatian translator and proofreader for all three iNaturalist projects. I translated over 10,000 words and 2,500 strings. Feel free to join! (13% | 23% | 23%) You can also contact me for common names in Croatian instead of flagging. Most arthropod, bird, mammal, fish, reptile, and amphibian common names have been edited by me.

Relevant iNaturalist checklists:
Europe: 1, 2 | Croatia: 1, 2

iNat checklists I compiled:
Reptiles of Croatia | Amphibians of Croatia | Opiliones of Croatia

Primary taxonomic interests: Araneae, Brachyura, Mantodea, and Reptilia of Europe.

Tips:

You can use GIFs for image input on findings (and obviously audio as well); this essentially allows video
You can use HTML tags, meaning -- links, pictures, superscripts, etc in bios and comments
You can see your comments here and all flags here (but change user)
read up on the search guide
Some info on location and batch editing (multiple observations at once)
What to look for when photographing various animals to help with ID? Here's another guide
On Identify pages, change 30 results per page to 200 - paste "&per_page=200" at the end of the URL. Here's an example.
You can tell how many people joined before you and what place your membership is at chronologically by looking at your profile URL. For example, you can reach my profile by clicking on https://www.inaturalist.org/people/5691431 or https://www.inaturalist.org/people/marinolinic. Because the URL ends in 5691431, I am the 5,691,431^st member. The first person who joined, the creator of the site, is at https://www.inaturalist.org/people/1.
Refresh the page if the map isn't showing observations.
iNaturalist has an API: https://api.inaturalist.org/
This guy has some additional URLs.

See Wiki for search URLs here.

The following are tips for utilizing annotations that I regularly use. Each URL on iNat contains information about the query. All you need to do is replace the [id] part of the links I listed below with the taxon's ID number. You can find that number in the URL of that taxon page. The URL will contain for example something like "inaturalist.org/taxa/430051-Ameles-spallanzania" and you just need to copy the number there and replace "[id]" in the links that follow.

All observations with annotations containing "male":
inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&subview=map&taxon_id=[id]&term_id=9&term_value_id=11
Here's an example.

All observations with annotations containing "female":
inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&subview=map&taxon_id=[id]&term_id=9&term_value_id=10
Here's an example.

(Male and female might potentially switch depending on the species, play around with the final query if so. Replace "10" and "11" if necessary.)

All observations with annotations containing "adult":
inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&subview=map&taxon_id=[id]&term_id=1&term_value_id=2
Here's an example.

All observations with annotations containing "nymph":
inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&subview=map&taxon_id=[id]&term_id=1&term_value_id=5
Here's an example.

All observations with annotations containing "juvenile":
inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&subview=map&taxon_id=[id]&term_id=1&term_value_id=8
Here's an example.
