      Most reported. When you see X everyday, you’ll make a note of the few times you see Y

      People usually don’t log stuff that they see every day. So a person who lives in Oregon (statistically more likely to be in doug-fir country) goes east and notices that a different tree predominates and they want to know what it is, they’ll log it.

      Personally, I log stuff that I don’t normally see cause there’s a chance that it’s either: a rare native plant, a native plant on the edge of its range, or a non-native. Those are all things that I’m less likely to know off the top of my head, and I think it’s probably more important to tag for scientific purposes.

    I am one of the people reporting the spotted lantern fly in NJ, alas. I’ll try and talk about the rabbits more to change the stats!
