#If youd like I can help identify your observations on inat since ive stumbled across your acct

This lichen is so so so gorgeous that I immediately felt compelled to try to identify it. I did some iNaturalist scouting (used some of your bug IDs to guesstimate your corner of the globe, and then literally just scrolled through nearby species of Peltigerales until I found something that fits) and I may have an ID for you: Coccocarpia pellita or a relative! While iNaturalist doesn't have all that many observations of it in general, GBIF has plenty and a lot of them are in your area. (Had to remove links lest tumblr hide this reblog. Hellsite.)

This bright blue lichen is a common sight in this area. Yet, I still cannot find ID…
