About me
I am Swarochi, a 15-year-old Odonata lover, I go nuts when I see an odonate, that's why "odonut"
Other than Odonata, I like Ants, Beetles, Moths and Butterflies, Heteroptera and many others.
I love going outside and observing everything my eye can see. I am a total nature addict and get high whenever I'm outdoors. I hope others here reading this are like me. If yes, send me a message! I would love to observe with you guys!!
If any of my IDs are wrong, please feel free to correct me as I am just an enthusiast and not an expert.
I discovered iNat in this video. Ever since I've been observing and learning!

Some Ode resources I commonly use are listed below.

My Observation of the Day
One of my observations has been selected as the iNat observation of the day. It’s Chlaenius malachinus, a cute little beetle.
I found this beetle beside a dump yard near my house, which looked rather boring to my untrained eyes other than the yellow spot. I took the pic anyway just to document it. Almost a month later, @borisb added an identification to it and that was when I realised it was an iNat first! A few days later, I was checking my discord after waking up in the morning and one of my friends told me that my obs has become an observation of the day. I jumped out of my bed and checked iNat and I couldn't believe my eyes! This had been one of my goals ever since I came to this community and I am so happy that it finally came true :)

Best song ever.
