Talk:African Arthropods

Potentially part of an informal learning project - Life in Africa or Biodiversity in Africa.

My thinking is that CC-BY and CC-0 records from iNaturalist, and their associated stories (in iNat Journal, facebook groups, etc.) can be captured or linked to in a project that can easily be referenced.

My interests include insects in general, and soil-dwelling arthropods. Within those, some groups are well represented on the web - Lepidoptera, ants, dragonflies, figs and their associated ecology are examples. However, other groups have little reference material that is easily understood by the layman. Alandmanson (discuss • contribs) 09:13, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
