Proof of species
Goal:
Proof of species seeks to build an ever expanding picture- and video database of all biological species. It is easily accessible, free and everyone can contribute. The project aim is to entertain, document and to categorize species. We believe that if humanity see the beauty of the world and its creatures, we will become more conscious and aware of our relationship with it.
Concept:
Currently the database mainly contains underwater and forest animals. But…Proof of species as a concept is not limited to these realms and creatures. Microbes, birds, fungi, plants and everything else containing DNA also deserves their place in the database. However, we can not document the zillions of species on the planet by ourselves and hopefully the database will live on and expand forever. Therefore we ask you, your friends, family and the people of earth to contribute with images and video!
Do you want to contribute?
We want the channel to contain reliable data and therefore we need good quality on images/videos we post. We need the name of the species(latin name, local name, english name), location, month and year. Location, month and year is crucial!
Do you want to contribute? Please contact us on: [e-mail]. We will credit your work with your name, youtube-channel or both😊
Warning: DO NOT use these pictures/video as a source to identify and eat mushrooms/plants/animals. Proof of species rely on viewers feedback and discussions to identify correct species. Species identintification is an ongoing task and therefore some of these species might be wrongly labeled.

I always find philodromus spiders missing legs, guess their body wasn’t built for their speed.

Good info. In what part of the world have you observed this?

This is the first one I have ever seen. I live in a little forest in Færder, Norway.
