Field notes
The homepage describes a search that can match common or scientific names and traits, then narrow results by class, continent, biome, diet, or extinction risk. It reports category counts including 104,992 insects and 26 extinct species. The project says its MVP database is curated from public sources, cites the IUCN Red List for conservation status and Wikipedia for images, and cautions that it does not replace official scientific publications.
