Good day to everyone on the Hive blockchain!

We all know that even among the panoply of posts that are published in the community daily, a few usually stand out.

Before going into the business of the day, it would do us a lot of good if we can refreshen our memory concerning what is required of us in the community. A user will do almost nothing wrong if they can stick to the following **RULES**: * There must be **multiple images** of the insect in question, shot from different angles by the author himself and capturing the essential features. Images should be well resolved and not edited in any form besides resizing. * Images must be accompanied by **DESCRIPTIVE TEXT** or a nice article relating to the images. The community is not photography, remember. Tell us something about the images you are posting. * The **SCIENTIFIC NAME** of your shown species should be written **in the title**. It is also **APPRECIATED** if you are adding a full identification and as many details as possible to your chosen species, such as **appearance, diet, peculiarities and more**. * **The chosen insect should be unique** in a way. 10 posts with images of the same species will definitely be boring. SO please avoid common insects except there is something unique about them that has rarely been seen in the community.

- Engagement is key! There is no community without engagement.

DNA - Densifying Nature-Appreciation

The Insects of the World Community is part of the awesome DNA project (Densifying Nature-Appreciation). DNA searches for **HIGH-QUALITY** posts that aim to **DESCRIBE** and determine the **BIODIVERSITY AROUND YOU** with added **EXPLANATIONS** and **INFORMATION**. For these informative posts DNA offers a **CURATION SERVICE** using the **@dna.org** account. It is also a **CURATION TRAIL**. At the moment DNA is also the home of **#amazingnature** hosted by **@adalger**, the **#aquaticsentinels** hosted by **@juanbg** for all posts about the marine world, the **#featheredfriends** hosted by the lovely **@melinda010100 🦢** for all you great posts about our feathered friends and the **#fungifriday** hosted by the amazing **@qwerrie 🍄** for all your posts about fungi and mushrooms ^^ .. But we hope that more nature related communities will join and participate in this gigantic and ambitious nature project, or maybe some Hiveans start their own little project there ;)
**[AMAZING NATURE COMMUNITY](https://peakd.com/c/hive-127788/created)**
**[AQUATIC SENTINELS COMMUNITY](https://peakd.com/c/hive-154473/created)**
**[FEATHERED FRIENDS COMMUNITY](https://peakd.com/c/hive-106444/created)**
**[FUNGI LOVERS COMMUNITY](https://peakd.com/c/hive-166168/created)**
All the communities have their own Moderators using the DNA-Curation service and and the whole AN Moderator Team also are set as DNA-Moderators. This external cross-community curation-service is hoped to raise awareness of the DNA project to Hiveans out there and aims to bring all the great nature-related communities together to help all the nature-loving Hiveans to bond together ^^ If you are **INTERESTED** in DNA, please do not hesitate to ask about it, or directly **JOIN US** in the **[DNA DISCORD](https://discordapp.com/invite/ATefGeY)** ;)
