After lementing finding so many exterminator sites when trying to identify a new spider on my balcony, a friend mentioned the
iNaturalist app.
It's a rather cool app that is designed to crowdsource species data, location and movements. The idea is you sign up and can either browse observed species in different areas marked on a map or upload your own images which can be identified by others. I've learned the names of multiple plants in my area and plan to upload species sightings when I get a chance.
