Flora and Fauna

The wonderful, eclectic webcomic site XKCD mapped the most observed plant and animal for all 50 US states as reported by iNaturalist users. I’m not surprised that bumble bees were such a popularly observed animal — the common eastern bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) is most-observed in Vermont, Wisconsin, Maine, Connecticut, Illinois, and Minnesota. Also popular: white-tailed deer, bison, milkweed, honeysuckle, and robins. In my neck of the woods, I’d have to report clover and squirrels, with dandelion and white-tailed deer a close second.
