Search what is actually recorded near this ground, a page at a time. This replaces asking for a whole catalogue. There are more than three thousand insect and spider species recorded around one Vermont block; the old answer showed forty of them and said nothing about the rest, and fetching all of them costs eleven round trips to build a list nobody reads. So: search, twenty to a page, and the true total on every page. **Species are a landscape fact, not a field one.** A nine-hectare hayfield contains almost no observations, so the search widens to the surrounding country and the answer says how wide it looked. Every other tool here answers about the drawn ground and nothing outside it; this one cannot. **The count measures observers as much as organisms.** A roadside is better recorded than a back hayfield, so a high count is evidence somebody was standing there — not that a thing is common on your ground. No judgement of any kind. iNaturalist does not say which of these is a pest, a weed, or worth planting, and sorting them into those would be adding a claim the feed never made.
