- 11. iSpot in action
- 12. “… I am new to iSpot and have to say that having a community of people with the knowledge and enthusiasm to help with the identification of all the creatures people come across is a brilliant thing." “ Thank you so much, With all the books I have it is so hard identifying birds.... Thank goodness for iSpot” "I found out about iSpot in my husband's copy of Sesame and am addicted! Have been telling family and friends about it and am now waiting to start S159." "Thank you S159 / iSpot and all its contributors for getting me interested in nature :)" "I am really enjoying the way iSpot gets people thinking and talking about nature, and I can't go outside now without "seeing" things and I just want a camera with me all the time now!"

- An example of an iSpot observation – a good photo of a non-obvious species of damselfly (and immature female not showing its mature colours), tentatively identified by the original observer, corrected by an iSpot expert (who received three agreements), and with a very helpful explanation of the identification features in the Comments section (provided by a British Dragonfly Society representative)
