Update 5/12/17

Thank you for checking out and hopefully participating in the Ants of California Project.

To this time I (with some help from @glmory) have managed to add most of the observations that have been identified to genus or below, and I'm trying to add new ones that come in. I'm still working through the Argentine Ant observations (only about 150 to go!). That's about 1400 observations of 115 taxa so far.

[updated before midnight: Got those 150ish done! only about 1500 unidentified observations, "ants", to go]

The state north of Redding, and the central & southern Sierra are very poorly represented, so if you are taking a summer vacation to those spots, please consider doing some ant watching.

According to http://www.antweb.org there are 321 species in the state, which means we have identified observations for about 1/3 of them. We have a long way to go!

If you have some expertise in a species, or even some other taxon level, please take a wander through the observations and see what you can do about identifying them - this is especially important for the taxa not yet represented for California. Please don't neglect those observations that are a little older.

If you don't have expertise, why not take a look at the some taxon you fancy and see if you can get some expertise for yourself? I'm trying on some things, and it's fun. Antweb.org is also a good resource for learning more about ants, not just in California.

Thanks again for stopping by.
