I try to encourage students to engage with the natural world. I'm here because one of them encouraged me to Embrace Technology, and I'm very grateful for that! Having everyone's photos to examine and compare has made me focus on what the important distinguishing features of species really are, and I feel constantly prompted to learn many new creatures and plants. It's the unknown unknowns that get me though, so don't hesitate to point out if I'm talking nonsense.

My top tip is to take more than one photo - chances are people will find your species more identifiable if they can see it from different angles, both close up and from further away.
